Great location!

We had a great time overall. The condo was clean and had a terrific view. The kids were able to play in the sand located in the common area with a view of the ocean. Only a couple issues we ran into. One of the seats of the kitchen chair were detached from the frame and my Mom pinched her finger while scooting her chair in. I also had to run the dryer 3-4 times to get my clothes dry. It probably has a blockage somewhere in the exhaust vent.

Can’t Beat This View!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You can’t get any closer to the ocean than this vacation rental! We spent many hours on the large, open-air, covered lanai, mesmerized by the near-180 degree views of the waves crashing on the large rocks lining the Oceanside shoreline (to protect against erosion), as well as surfers, dolphins, pelicans, and sunsets.

Wonderful location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the Beachfront Retreat. The location was perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed the short walk to the sandy beach, pier, restaurants, coffee, shops, etc, while being away from the busier area. It was also a short drive to grocery stores. The backyard of this home is the beach and the sound of the waves crashing is glorious. I got some of the best sleep I've ever had listening to the waves from the comfy bed. The sofa bed is also comfortable, according to our 17 year old. The home was spacious, clean and the kitchen well stocked. There are beach chairs and umbrellas available for use. The only parts we didn't love were the showers. They are both functional and get the job done, but the guest shower is small and the main shower is sunken and odd with 2 steep steps down. We were prepared for them from the previous reviews. That said, we'd rent this home again because the views were unbelievable. We saw dolphins, seals, pelicans and sandpipers every day. The property manager was easy to work with and kind. Being able to use the garage was very convenient (but note that it will not accommodate a large car). Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Comfortable, clean, spacious unit with great balcony and views

We had a terrific stay at this condo. It’s more spacious than the pictures make it look and the balcony and views are simply awesome. Make My Vacation does a great job delivering a clean, well-maintained and well-stocked unit. Compared to other ocean front units in the immediate vicinity this rental presented a genuine value. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property has a beautiful ocean view from the living room and the master bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed. It has good quality pots and pans, and plenty of dishes, etc., to accommodate any cooking one wants to do. The appliances are nice and fairly new. The bathrooms had plenty of towels, and if needed you can wash them in the washer and dryer that are in the unit. The dryer isn't the greatest, but it's not a big deal. The second bathroom shower is a little small, but it has nice shelves to put your shampoo's etc., the main shower is spacious, but has steps to go into, which is odd, but functional. Overall we really loved the property. It was spacious and comfortable, really close to the beach. It is about a 5 minute walk to the beach, or you can take your car, and there is ocean front parking right down the street, but they do charge. The beach was great and so was the weather. Shopping is not too far off of the 78. Everything is there, including a mall, great mini golf, and a movie theater. It was one of the nicer places we have stayed in, in terms of things provided and overall quality of the apartment. Having a garage was also wonderful. We will definitely come and stay here again.

Can’t beat the view!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view of the ocean is absolutely spectacular! I needed to soak up the ocean and was able to it the entire stay with this view and proximity. Loved being able to go right down to the water if I wanted to take a dip or just look at the beauty from the sandy backyard. We were lucky each day we went to the yard we had it to ourselves. We had a hiccup with the lock but there was a quick resolution. Dealing with the management company was easy and very quick to respond. I will say my only complaint was that I knew the unit wasn’t rented the night before and asked for early check in and they told me to call the day of and when I texted them they said they don’t allow early check in in summer. A little miscommunication on their part. I actually left early thinking we may be able to pay for early check in. Overall it was a beautiful stay. Beds were comfortable, unit is clean. The master shower is a little scary but there are grab bars and we had no issues. It would be nice if they would at least stock some spices and cooking oil. So you don’t throw away so much when you depart.

Right on the ocean

Great location on ocean with no possibility of people passing by so it is very private. Top floor had a great view and quiet with double-pane windows. About the only sound heard was from the ocean waves. Place was clean and well stocked and communication with management company was good. Having a garage for the car allowed us to keep the car off the street. Large balcony across the back was very nice. Would stay again.

Beautiful Oceanfront Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful place to stay. The garage parking is a big plus. It would be tight for a full size truck. The place is modern and very comfortable. They have chairs and towels for use during your stay. The property managers were prompt and informative about my check-in. The only thing I would say about our stay that seemed off to me is the amount that was charged for a cleaning fee. On top of that, it is requested that you do your own dishes and start the dishwasher. You also are requested to take out your own trash. As much as they charge for cleaning I don’t feel like I should need to do anything like this. If your stay includes a Tuesday you are also responsible for taking the trashcan out to the street. So the professionals that clean basically do a lot of wipe down, laundry and tidying. I agreed to the cleaning fee in the beginning assuming such a high price would take care of everything. It does not. Nice place.

Great place to stay.

We spent a week there to relax after an exhausting camping trip. :) We were blown away by the spacious apartment. The view of the Pacific is fantastic and we enjoyed watching dolphins and seals in the morning. Yes, the ocean is noisy and the beach right in front of the house is washed away. But overall, our upstairs apartment is highly recommended, would stay there again.

Wonderful stay at the ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This 3rd story rental is a 10 star location if you want to be close to the ocean. The water is about 50-75 ft from the windows! We were mesmerized by the waves and felt the stress evaporating... Pelicans and seagulls flew by the porch and fished in the water right in front of us. We stayed 8 days and saw dolphins 6 times, once only 100 yds from the porch as one surfed the wave! We had our binoculars with us and easily watched all the sea life. The apartment is spacious, well furnished and comfortable. There are a few glitches that make it a 4 rather than 5 star accommodation,, but we didn’t pay for a 5 star resort either, so we were very content. The managers are very attentive and we felt we received excellent value for the price, compared to many others.

Great location and views. We will be back.

Loved the large balcony. Gorgeous views. Great location. We walked to the pier a lot. Was pleasantly surprised by the layout and size. The photos make it look smaller. The couches and the beds were very comfortable. We boogie boarded and played games on the beach when the tide was low. The layout of the master bedroom shower was unique. When it was high tide, the sound of the ocean was somewhat loud with the water rushing over the small rocks each time the water receded out…but we got used to that. The only con we ran into was the Wi-Fi. It seemed like it kept going in and out during our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves. And we will definitely be back again.
