Last minute rental was top notch experience!

We grandparents planned well ahead for our springtime Legoland visit with our adult children and grandchildren. We found and paid for decent accommodations months in advance and all were anticipating our fun time to come. It was so disappointing when literally three days in advance of our trip we receive notification of cancellation of the property due to plumbing issues in the house. What!!! All we could do is start over in our hunt for nice accommodations for the eight of us…at the busiest time of the year and at the last minute! Obviously, very little was available on VRBO in our desired price range but also just generally. Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect it and This “French Chateau” home rental experience was a perfect example of such! The home was beautiful throughout, exquisite in its luxurious offerings and the provided little extra’s. The surrounding neighborhood community was so charming it felt like we were residing in a Disneyland movie set. It was within easy proximity to other local features. Best of all though was the homes owner Michelle who was so wonderfully accommodating through the entire rental process and by personalized text during our stay, just to make sure we were pleased. If ever we decide to to return to Oceanside we would absolutely rent this home again!

St. Malo's the best

This property is excellent for families.We were an older group (65-75). So it would have been nice if their were grab bars in the bathrooms. But we managed to have a great time being together!

Gorgeous home in a story book setting

This home is beautiful and comfortable in every way. A treasure of a place to vacation! The neighborhood even felt like a story book. We loved our walks to the private beach and enjoyed playing pickleball right across the street. We played card games in the evenings at the large dining table. It was all so memorable and magical. Our host Nick was fantastic too, and we felt very well taken care of …Thank you!! We loved our stay and plan to go back someday.

Luxury Coastal Vacation

From booking to checkout, the hosts were amazing. The property is nestled in a French-village style gated community right on the beach. The property was even more beautiful and accommodating than the listing and it exceeded our expectations in every way. We were able to house ages 9 through 75 with ease. Everyone could have their own space and could easily walk to the beach, play volleyball, play tennis or walk through the neighborhoods. There were also many walkable shops and restaurants within a mile of our place. We would definitely rent again from this host and stay at this property again. Thank you!

Beautiful St. Malo Beach House

This house is simply gorgeous!!! We stayed for three nights with our two son’s, celebrating our youngest 30th birthday who came in from Australia with his girlfriend. The St. Malo private gated community is like something out of a fairytale. The house is walking distance from the beach and at the end of a cul-de-sac, very private. The house had everything that we never had to leave. I was able to make all our meals even a BBQ for Father’s Day. We were able to play tennis and pickle ball the house has lots of sports equipment along with lots of beach chairs and umbrellas. The washer/dryer came in handy to wash our clothes before going home. The master bedroom is so charming with a fireplace and large bathroom and walking closet. The bottom part of the home has A/C that kept the house very cool. The bedrooms upstairs all have ceiling fans and all the french doors have screens so you can sleep with the doors open and let the ocean breeze in. Check-in and check-out were easy. There’s a beautiful coffee table book about St. Malo that I read from beginning to end, on the history of this enchanted place. We fell in love with St. Malo that we are scheduling a trip in 2024 to St. Malo in France. We will definitely be returning here.
