Fantastic place to stay! Very convenient location in South Oceanside, close to restaurants, shops, and Carlsbad Village. While parking is street parking, we never had an issue finding a spot right in front of the property, and on the evening of our arrival, the hosts moved one of their personal vehicles to make it easier for us to unload. This was far better than some of the places we’ve rented in San Diego, where street parking can be aspirational.
The intent of our trip was to spend Christmas on the beach with our dogs (FYSA, Oceanside does not allow dogs on the beach, which we knew in advance, but we made the easy drive to Cardiff State Beach every day, which allows leashed dogs, and is fantastic. There are off-leash dog beaches nearby, as well). The property is very dog-friendly (please be aware that you will need to be prepared to keep your pups off the furniture), and there is an enclosed yard for you to relax with your canine companions. The hosts also had a small decorated Christmas tree plugged in and waiting for us when we arrived, which was very sweet of them and much appreciated.
This rental is a separate dwelling behind the property owner’s main house, but you are able to maintain your privacy. It’s a great place (with great hosts) that is fully provisioned, clean, and very cute. We look forward to return trips in the near future!
