Best family vacation ever!

Words cannot do justice to the splendor of this house and the family fun we had here! We stayed for a week and bonded like never before! The kids loved the warm pool and the grassy yard was fun for games. The inside has lots of areas so everyone has a place to gather.The bedrooms are also so ample that everyone had their own private space and we are a big family! The location is fabulous and Laurie the host was just incredible! We can’t wait to return!

Family reunion

This was the perfect house for our family reunion. There was plenty of space and lots to do for our three generations. We loved the pool and hot tub—and what a nice touch that the host made pool toys, board games, and bicycles available to us. The house is gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Incredible house, something for everyone!

A wonderful 4 days with family. Room for everyone, swimming, hot tub, croquet, outside grilling, sonos music through out. Wonderful master bedroom where the sound of the ocean puts you to sleep at night. Close to the beach and Oceanside eateries. Laurie is an incredible host. Accommodating in every way. This is our 4th year visiting and it won’t be our last.

Great home for large family

From the moment you walk in you know your going to enjoy your stay. The house is not only beautiful, but much larger than the pictures show. There are many areas to relax in, visit with others and just get "away".The pool area equipped with bar was a great hang out for our family of 8 adults and three children. Bedrooms are large and beds are super comfy in all rooms. Laurie is great to work with and it is obvious she takes great pride in assuring each guest is comfortable. Would definately stay here again

This beautiful house fits our growing family perfectly. We have younger children, teens & adults and the set up couldn’t be better. It’s stocked with anything you need from spices to sunscreen. We enjoyed sea world, went to the beach every day and enjoyed the incredible pool and hot tub right outside our door. This is our third visit and it won’t be our last!

It's a vacation in a house!

This place is specifically curated for comfort and fun. We were there to celebrate our grandmother who once lived in Oceanside and this place let us enjoy the area and each other perfectly. Lots of games, activities, space, hangout areas (inside and out). Awesome views from the many decks and patios. And the hostess was extremely receptive and helpful. You can't help but love this place!

Absolutely perfect

The house was beautiful. There were 12 of us and accommodations were perfect. Plenty of linens, kitchen was fully equipped, outside space was amazing for relaxing, playing games and watching sunsets. Laurie met us at the property and provided information about the house. A/C worked great! Perfect family vacation.

Great stay

We had a great time at this property. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and the house had everything we needed. The only thing I would change is the bunk beds for kiddos are in a separate house (they ended up sleeping in the larger beds with us). We weren't comfortable with them being that far away from us, but if you had teens it would be fine.

Beautiful estate with room floor everyone

I can’t say enough good things about this property and Laurie. We had a group of 12, from 2 to 75 years old. There was enough space for everyone to be together and be apart - which was really important. House had everything you could possibly need. Plan to stay here next year!

Thanksgiving Break

This has been by far the most smoothest VRBO we have been in. Also this property is perfect in every way. The house was clean and very functional. The kids had an amazing time in the heated pool. Laurie the host met us there, showed us the ropes and was very pleasant. We will definitely be reaching out to continue our Thanksgiving Vacation with Mermaid By The Sea.

Oceanside paradise

We came to Oceanside to spend the long weekend in quarantine with our son who is stationed at Camp Pendleton. This house was awesome! So comfortable for 8 people with plenty more room for guests. The location is perfect and the pool and hot tub was fantastic. We grilled around the pool and played game in front of the outdoor fireplace. Perfect

Christmas Fun!

As always, communication is spot on with property managers going above and beyond expectations whenever problems arrive! Laurie is always kind, friendly, and efficient! House is large enough for big family gatherings to fit easily and comfortably, kitchen is extremely well-appointed, and decorations, especially for the holiday, are perfect. We love this place!!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie

Host profile image
We have lived in Oceanside for over 25 years, we have two children and very much enjoy our life here in southern California. We invite you to our beach home where you to can begin to create new memories and enjoy your beach-life get-Away!

Why they chose this property

This property is totally unique to the beach area because it has a 3 separate units, courtyard, a BBQ, gated yard, and a mosaic tile Mermaid pool and hot tub. It truly is a beautiful and spacious home. The views are spectacular and the beach is just a short walk away.

What makes this property unique

Many families travel as a group and find themselves having to lodge separately, eat out every night and being cooped-up in a small room together for activities. Not here. We can accommodate families of most sizes. This spacious property and layout allows you and your family to enjoy your vacation and time away from home while offering you all the comforts of home.
