Our home away from home

We love staying here we try to come back every couple of months. We were just here during the holidays. David & Alma always make us feel like we are part of the family and ALWAYS so accommodating to any of our needs.I promise you won’t regret picking this beautiful cozy spot.

We will definitely be back in a few months. Check it out you won’t be disappointed at all

great getaway

This was a great place for a getaway and VERY pet friendly. Our dog loved running around in the back yard. The bed was VERY comfy. If you like a lot of pillows, this is the place for you! The outdoor area was great with fire pit, grill, and pool.

A great relaxing place beautiful, clean comfortable and close to everything. We enjoyed our anniversary time at this place. We will be returning in the summer to enjoy the pool, and the nights were quite. Alma was pleasant, and she answered all my questions.

Great weather but -

The property was not as described - the yard was mostly dirt - there were dogs in the main house who barked at us and our dogs - constantly. We left halfway through our stay -

Loved it!

The pictures do it no justice! It’s located on a very quiet street. The backyard with the pool is serenity. It literally had EVERYTHING that you need. I walked in and the first thing I noticed was how lovely it smelled. They have scented candles, and the jet tub was perfect was a very relaxing night. I genuinely loved staying here.

Incredible Getaway

Property is beautiful and better than in the pictures. Nice quiet neighborhood close to shops and downtown Oceanside. This property has everything you can ask for and then some. Our 2 little dogs loved being able to roam the yard and lay by the pool. Owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Will definitely be coming back.

Perfect sanctuary

This was the perfect place for us to relax from all the family obligations and decisions. Our dogs were so relaxed and that was a blessing. Pool was perfect temp. Everything we needed to enjoy our time. Close to everything but felt remote. Comfy bed! Great natural light and desk area for work from home. We will be back as we have family in the area that we need to see frequently. First time we have gone home rested! Thank you!!

Great overall

Great stay overall, very comfortable room with everything you could ever need. Note that it is connected to another house, even though they give you the back yard the whole time. Didn't bother me, just something to note. Only having a kitchen sink outside was the only drawback, fine in the summer, but might be difficult in the winter.

BBQ, Swim, Sit by the fire pit & Sleep Well

We wanted to let you know that we sincerely enjoyed the time we spent at your home. We chose your home so our 8 month old golden retriever puppy would have space to play and swim and our son who lives in the dorms could visit with us. We all loved the pool, the many lounge chairs to lay back and look at the night sky and talk while seated around the fire pit. We enjoyed the beautiful views as we took the dog for walks and strolled down to Starbucks for coffee each morning. The studio was exceptionally well-equipped, the decor was stunning and you had everything one could need. It is well laid out, lovingly maintained, and perfect in every way. Most importantly, the house is not only as good as advertised, but even better than you expect when you arrive. We had a lot of fun and we appreciate your efforts in making it such a memorable trip. Thank you so very much.

Absolutely Amazing Private Escape

What a lovely experience celebrating our 17th year anniversary. The location was exceptional and close to everything we needed and desired. The private backyard was spacious with flowering succulents and tailored to promote enjoyment and relaxation for us and our 2 dogs. The pool was a perfect temperature, clean and delightful. The living space had absolutely everything we needed and set up perfectly. The decor was exceptional and the details of the space had a great deal of thought behind it to promote comfort for the guests (AC on, stocked bathroom/coffee area, dishes, pool towels, beach bag, yoga mat, phone usb charging stations, comfortable bed, sensor lights to guide you from parking area, parking space in driveway etc.). Alma and David were very thoughtful leaving us a personalized card and generous gifts for our anniversary and were available 24/7, responsive and provided great directions. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for being so kind and welcoming, you were truly outstanding hosts.

False Listing and Horrible Experience

This rental was falsely advertised in every way. This was not located in an upscale neighborhood. This was never stated that the rental was attached to a house where there is a person living. It was listed as a luxury beach bungalow. It is no where close to a beach and there was nothing luxury about it. We took multiple pictures showing that the entry door was completely warped and water damaged along with areas in the bathroom with the same damage. There was barely look warm water in the shower. The apartment was obviously a master bedroom addition to the house that had a door to the existing house with a towel blocking the sound from the house tenant. There were spider webs throughout and when we turned on the ceiling fan, clumps of dust fell onto the bed. There was sign in posted with a wifi password that was not correct. The check in instructions called out the correct wifi password located on the bottom of the router located on a non existent desk and was actually located on the floor behind the dining table. Although the backyard was private to our rental, the outdoor lights were only accessible in the main house. So with the exception of our porch light, the backyard was completely dark at night. The outdoor bbq and coutertop areas were not even complete. The side of the existing house was full of crap and building material. The front of the house was the same. We did not receive check in or out instructions along with nothing printed out at the rental. I have photos

Relaxing stay

My wife and I had a very relaxing stay. Read books by the pool, and ate out at the local restaurants. Having no kitchen was perfect for this stay. Alma is a great host and very communicative.

Amazing home and Backyard!

I feel so lucky to have found this property to stay at! The home, backyard and pool were fantastic. My daughter and I staid here while my friend and their family stayed in a condo facility that was packed with people, loud and no AC. We got to stay here and really relax and it is just a short drive to the beach. My friends wanted to come see where we were staying and were blown away and jealous when they visited! The owners were at all times accessible and very nice! This is a must stay!

Quiet & relaxing place with a private pool

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is located in a quiet neighbor and you have access to your own private pool and a large beautiful backyard, which was also perfect for our small dog to run around in. The place was full of amenities, including a very large screen tv! We had everything we needed for a very relaxing stay! David and Alma were super friendly and even though we didn't need it, they made themselves available 24/7. Highly recommend!!!

Summer bliss in Oceanside!

We stayed June 3-10th, 2022 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The accommodations are matched what is pictured. Very clean, comfortable and luxurious. We enjoyed the pool and the wonderful fully fenced backyard; perfect for our three lab-mix dogs - they felt right at home. The neighborhood is lovely and perfect for walking our pups. The location is very convenient to everything you might need or want to do. We easily found our way down to San Diego for whale watching off of Shelter Island, to the beaches of La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas, Cardiff, Carlsbad and of course Oceanside. Never had much traffic to contend with and there are several alternative routes to avoid any slowdowns. We also had a fun day wine tasting in Temecula which is only an hour away. There are several grocery chains close by and a market called Frazier Farms about 2 miles from the home which is similar to a Whole Foods - wish I'd found it sooner! Don't hesitate to book your stay, you'll love it! David and Ira are very wonderful, kind and responsive. But you likely won't see them.
