Hottest Neighborhood! Walk to Beach!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"This was a fantastic place for us to call home for 4 nights while in Oceanside. As a family with 2 little ones, it was well set up and even had some beach toys for the kiddos. The kids stayed on the pull out couch and slept very well. The kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets you could need and we loved the built in desk. The master bedroom is nice and large with a huge amount of closet space and the most comfortable bed I’ve ever stayed in for a VRBO. The location was so so...

OCEANFRONT Spectacular New Remodel! Whitewater Ocean Views!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (51)
"Location is excellent and the check in is very organized. Garage is literally yards away so easy to carry bags etc. Bedding is just okay. Some stains on furniture. You can open windows in main bedroom and listen to the ocean at night, but the condo is next to stop sign and public restrooms so you can hear some extra noise; we didn’t mind it but if you’re light sleeper it may be an issue."
