A Month On The Strand.

The property was everything the listing said it was. Waking up to the sound of waves was wonderful. We saw daily surfers and occasional pods of dolphins from the balcony. There was nothing missing in the kitchen which was well appointed with everything from baking pans to electric hand mixers.

Great property on the beach.

The property was good. I did not enjoy the staircase from the parking garage to the ground floor and took a bad fall. I was injured and had to spend the entire stay in the condo. It would have been nice to have been able to use the elevator to get to our unit.

Excellent property

We had a relaxing and enjoyable time. The property is very well kept, spacious, and inviting. Very quiet at night. Quick and friendly response from property managers. We were not fond of the vehicle traffic on the strand but I suppose that comes with the location and Oceanside culture. The beach was lovely and well kept.

VERY NICE LARGE UPDATED CONDO!

The unit was big and roomy and stocked with everything you need for your stay! Very very clean! Very safe and secure w underground parking! Couple minor issues with water pressure, loose faucet handle and torn slider screens but nothing to ruin your stay. The only issue was the area is non-stop noisy loud and a ton of people.

Great family vacation spot!

Great people watching and sounds of the waves! Water pressure in the master bedroom was not the greatest but it did its job :) The other showers were just fine. They had everything you needed to enjoy the beach! Umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, wagon (which you really don’t need since the beach is only a hop, skip away). Everything was in walking distance! I would definitely be coming back again! Our family enjoyed the home and location very much and was able to create memories.

Best Senior trip for our son!

We loved this place so much! Took my son for his high school graduation trip & had 5 of us with plenty of space. It was so clean, comfortable & so much attention to detail with all the amenities. I loved the location on the strand & the outside patio was so comfortable to watch the people & the waves. Would highly recommend for a great beach vacation! Thank you so much!
