2 bed 2 bath 3 blocks from water! Sleeps 6 - Dog Run!

I recently booked this property for a family trip to Oceanside but, unfortunately, we did not end up staying. While the photos of the property look nice and it may be a suitable option for some, I would caution families with small children who are expecting close and easy beach access.The listing stated that the property was located three blocks from the beach, which was the primary reason we chose it. We arrived in Oceanside a few hours before check-in and decided to drive by the property and head to the beach with our children in the meantime. Upon arrival, we were surprised to find that the rental was actually located in the backyard of a larger main property and have to go through two gates to get to it—something that was not clearly communicated in the listing.Still willing to give it a try, we drove the three blocks down Cassidy Street, only to find that there was no actual beach—just steep, rocky cliffs and no accessible sand or shoreline. This was incredibly disappointing, especially for the kids, as our main reason for booking was to have easy walking access to a family-friendly beach.We attempted to cancel the booking through VRBO, but there was no option available. We contacted customer service, who placed us on a call with the owners. Unfortunately, they refused to issue a refund. One of the owners even remarked, “I can’t make sand appear,” which felt dismissive of our concern.In the end, we chose not to stay and lost over 1,200. I would have appreciated at l

Loved it! Everything exceeded our expectations. We had a great time and will come again. Great location and very relaxing. Clean and comfortable.

Family vacation This was our first experience using a Verbo property. We were expecting a larger space with a larger kitchen and more storage. We lived a week out of our suitcases. The rental had plenty of backyard or beach supplies and sporting equipments, unfortunately many of them were broken. The yard area is a nice place for barbecuing and sitting around a fire pit. Also it was a secure place for dogs. The owners stayed out of our way as they live in the front house, but weren't home during most of our stay. There are plenty of good food in the neighborhood surrounding the property. We did have an overall positive experience.

Excellent stay! Awesome experience! Great location! Highly recommend!

Great location and comfortable accommodations.

Always well cared for This is the second time we’ve stayed with Emily at her Oceanside bungalow. The place is well appointed and comfortable. Emily is so responsive and easy to work with. Its always a joy to be in SoCal so close to the beach and our family.

A great time This was a great place to stay! It was super centralized to everything we did. Emily was awesome and very friendly. There are beach chairs and an umbrella along with a wagon and so much more that is available to use. My daughter had a great first time at the beach!

2024 beach trip Nice spot. Private backyard is a cool hang. Emily is a great host. You'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Great location and house Our family of 4 stayed here and it was perfect for our trip. Home was clean and had everything we needed. We really liked the look and feel of the place. Will definitely look at staying here again when we are in the area.
