Great stay

Nice house, spacious bedrooms, very clean, kitchen well stocked. Some initial issues with getting TV to work, but Alexandra was very quick and helpful to resolve issue. For us, 10 min walk with the dogs to ocean, then there’s a walkway along beach towards Oceanside pier. Cars drive along that road, so need to be mindful. We enjoyed our stay!

We walked to the beach everyday!

We had a fantastic stay at Alexandra’s house! The location is perfect and very walkable to the beach, breweries, restaurants, and coffee shops. The house was spotless, well maintained, fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and has beautiful, lush gardens out front and back. We loved the fully fenced, secure backyard for our dogs. We’ll definitely stay here again.

girls trip stay!

This House would be AMAZING for 4 people who are comfortable sleeping next to each other. There are 2 rooms with a queen bed in each one, they did provide a twin size blow up mattress which we were so grateful for because we wouldn’t have fit without it. We had 5 girls and we felt crammed getting around each other and sleeping. On the bright side everything was nice and clean, amazing shower. We appreciated having so much kitchenware and spices to use, was so helpful when cooking. We were so close to many awesome places and the beach! The hot tub was so fun and nice after the beach and rainy days. The neighborhood was so cute and lovely to walk in. Overall I would love to stay here again for a couples trip or a girls trip with 2-4 people.

Beautiful coastal getaway

The house was so welcoming, all our needs were met. Master bathroom was incredible. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and the 4 hole putting green. The house is walking distance to the ocean and places to eat. Would love to come back.

As Promised in Listing

We had a great stay and found everything to be as promised in the listing. We had everything we needed to cook and enjoyed the outdoor spaces including the hot tub. The desk/work area is a little small but workable. The living room are is also a little small for everyone to sit but also workable. The master bath is now finished and amazing. Will stay again!

Amenities & Location

Likely one of the best well stocked STRs I have ever stayed in. Towels, linens, robes, so many dishes, appliances, washer dryer, full size steamer, laptop, fire pit. Waking distance to The Cup for coffee and the beach. Lovely backyard with a hot tub. Putting green in the front. And don't even get me started on the master bath. If you are looking for a place in Oside this should be on the top of your list. My only issue was that the listing states it sleeps 6. I think there was a futon when I made my reservation but that turned into an air mattress which did not make my 6 foot tall 25 year old son very happy. I don't know that an air mattress should count as "sleeps 6" however the other amenities made up for that and we had a great time.

Family Getaway

This house is in a wonderful dog friendly neighborhood with beautiful landscaping in the front . It is a very easy walk to a few neighborhood coffee shops, breweries ,restaurant’s and the beach. The House has potential to be great but with the master bathroom still under construction and some areas of the yard under construction it’s not ideal. We did enjoy our stay but feel it would make more sense to finish the remodel before renting out the house . There was plenty of linens and the beds we’re comfortable. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with anything needed to cook or grill.

Beware of Construction Projects

Overview: - Booked 6 months in advance for combo of celebrating Thanksgiving and my dad’s 88th birthday. - 3 days before flying in, the owner informs me that there’s a bathroom addition underway. - My extended family who came in from out of town had booked hotel nearby hotel accommodation. - VRBO dropped the ball and didn’t have anywhere else to move me to nearby and they used avoidance tactics when I tried to call — put me on hold and never came back, transferred to nowhere. I spent 4 hours the first couple days of my vacation and after my vacation same thing — probably 15 hours all in all. Never got any kind of compensation in any form from either VRBO or the owner. The house would have been great if it had indeed been tranquil and construction free. So renter beware. Please note that the owner refused to admit it was under construction even though there was a bathroom foundation poured. And 2x4 frame — right next to fire pit and jacuzzi. So much for tranquility. Very dissatisfied. Feel like I was mistreated. And with only 3 days notice — I was trapped into this reservation.

Perfect set up and wonderful hosts

This property was perfect for our needs. Able to walk down to the Strand with the pup easily. Felt safe. Lots of dog walkers in the community. Inside Alexandra has all the amenities to make yourself at home. We did a lot of cooking and weren't lacking in any tools/utensils. Laundry set up was wonderful. Comfortable beds/pillows. Good heat/air circulation. (Yes, it was a bit cool during our time in San Diego). I had to do a few Zoom calls, and the computer station setup was perfect for a nice, clean background and window-lit space. Strong/fast internet. Really inviting outdoor spaces for sitting/soaking up the sun, sitting around the firepit, relaxing in the hottub, playing fetch with the dog. Off the street parking for one vehicle. The absolute best was the communication and support Alexandra gave as it was for less than pleasant reasons we were in town. We will be back to really take advantage of all the relaxation to be had. Highly recommend.

Best Home We Have Rented

Cant say enough about this home. Felt like our own. We rent every year at Oceanside and this has been the best experience. Owners were amazing and responsive. House is fully stock, there was nothing I couldnt find. Beds were the most comfortable. We used everything, from firepit, BBQ, hot tub and mini golf. Was able to work in mornings with thier fast wifi. Neighborhood is clean, safe to take walks. AC worked great which was a must for us. TV and music. Appliances worked great. Loved everything.

Super clean, nicely furnished, great value

Everything was as described. We had an excellent stay. The location is a few blocks off the beach (about a half mile). A great diner and a great brewpub are within walking distance, about three blocks away. It's adjacent to an elementary school, and the neighborhood is peaceful, friendly, and safe with lots of dog-walkers, joggers, and gardeners. It's super quiet, yet with easy access to major thoroughfares, perfect if you have a car. The owner has put a lot of care and thoughtfulness into design. There is a superabundance of extra linens, and they are nice ones. There are even deluxe place mats for the table, if you want to use them. Quality cleaning supplies and other items are stored in the garage. These details reflect the owner's high standards. Because the sidewalk cannot be blocked, a long car (bumper to bumper) cannot be parked in the driveway for very long (or else you will be cited by the city). My Honda Accord fit with just inches to spare. If your car is too long, you can safely park in the street. There are two televisions (living room and one bedroom) with extended cable; there's a little laptop for your use; and the WiFi internet is superfast. There is also AC, which we did not need to use. But the majority of properties at the coast lack AC, so this is an important detail in the months when it might get hot.

What makes this property unique

The best of all worlds, a private home, with a private fenced yard for a quiet stay or a quick walk to the beach, movies, or restaurants and bars. You get the best of both worlds in this clean, hip little house.

*I have lots of people making inquiry if the beach by the house is an off the leash dog beach. It is not. Oceanside does not allow it. Ocean Beach is South of Oceanside about 35 miles. :0)
