    I have used this company before and have always referred friends and family. Until now, I recently booked a home through them and due to it being more of a last minute thing I had to physically visit the office to check in m, which I had no issue with. I arrived at the office and the lady in the front was having issue with my credit card I used because I didn't have the physical card. Even though I provided a screenshot with the full card number, CVV, and expiration date, she wouldn't accept it so she went to get the manager from her office. Then both ladies were explaining that they can't accept the payment even with me logging in and showing them it's in my name and my card, so I understood and offered a different card, which I then explained I wanted a late check out and she specifically asked me if I wanted 12pm or 1? I opted for the 1pm and she then asked me if I wanted to know the fee first which i replied no, I don't mind the fee and just to charge it. At this point I felt discriminated against because they were both questioning me about my reservation as if I couldn't afford it. So I drive to my reservation and check in get settled even with the elevator not working. Then the next day one of the managers show up to the site and apologize for the elevator and offered me a late check out for the inconvenience and I explained that I had already requested a late 1pm checkout so he offered a 3 pm and I thought the was kind of them to understand and be accountable. Then I get a call from a rep to confirm my 3 pm checkout. However now Sunday morning day of my late checkout, they text me and start questioning me about the "conversation" with both ladies in the office about my late checkout. And all of a sudden they state I never requested it and my account isn't notated for a late checkout. They then text me to tell me I have to be out by 1pm, this is by far the most unprofessional behavior I've encountered through this company and I'm highly disappointed. My family and I have used it for years and have spent significant amount of money to use them. To be treated this way and questioned consistently throughout my stay is unacceptable, especially to text me instead of calling me to tell me you are now changing my checkout for an error on your employees behalf. Mind you I still have both my cards charged for the one reservation. I highly suggest you be careful with who you speak to and how you make arrangements, make sure you document all communication because apparently they won't hold their employees accountable for their mistakes and they will definitely judge you and question you. Think twice before you have to go through the same thing I experienced.

    So far, really awesome. We have been using Beachfront Only for 20 years. After an issue on our latest reservation, they upgraded us to an amazing unit. Lovely.

    Easy rental, even better than I hoped for. First time using the beach front only and it was effortless. Everything you could want was readily available in the house. The views are priceless. The check in check out process was simple and efficient. I will definitely be using this business again. Don't miss out it's worth the $$$.

    We stayed for about a week in April. Very unimpressed with the amenities, customer service, and security. Amenities: they do have anything you would need in the kitchen the spices were very gross filled with dust and many bonding together inside the jar. Two beds were great, one was made for a child and you can tell they keep fixing it with screws instead of replacing it. The hot tub was nice the 10 minutes that it worked, it does not stay hot so if you're looking for a kiddie pool here ya go. We were unaware of the parking situation inside the garage. They expect you to park on a lift that moves your car up or down to access very hard to unload/load your car especially with pets or small children. There is no space between your car door and the caged lift you're required to use. Customer service: We called every other day about our hot tub not working and this was the main reason we choose this property. They would come and drain the hot tub and refill it but as soon as you get in the water temperature declines without the lid on. Extremely frustrating and they never even gave us a discount or refund for the issue. We had nonstop issues with having to message the property management. The other problem was the gas tanks for the fire pit and grill. They were low or missing and we had to keep calling meanwhile we couldn't cook and they don't respond until the next day! Security: They told us the homeless come onto the patios and steal the gas tanks. We also had a skateboard missing. Don't let the photo of the patio door fool you because they are all broke and anyone can access them from outside. They had a woman screaming on the beach and the cops came and arrested her one night we were staying there. You have no privacy from your neighbors. Me and my sister were in the hot tub and there was a creepy dude staring at us from the next house over on the second floor. This is no place for family, maybe a college party hang out. Avoid this property!

    Beachfront vacation rentals in Oceanside is a joke. They should be ashamed and embarrassed renting out this property. The pictures and description of this home are all lies. This property is run down beyond repair and filthy. These are just a few of the pictures we took. The ONLY think good about this place was the location. Gates don't lock, torn curtains, no screens on some windows, mildew and filth, oven does not work, refrigerator is a joke, furniture so dirty we covered before sitting on. Total false advertising! Extremely unhappy. Will NEVER use Beachfront again.

    NEVER AGAIN. We arrived for a 4 day stay the day after Christmas (Dec 26, 2021) looking forward to a relaxing visit. Imagine how we felt when we walked up to the unit for the first time and saw 6 large holes (see pic) in the screen of the window next to the door. The place itself was very drafty on the cold rainy days of our stay, not quite clean with peeling paint in places, a gapping hole next to a dirty wall a/c unit (see pic), the second bedroom had a very uncomfortable futon instead of a real bed and there was a lovely large black rat trap box right outside the window of the futon room (another view spoiled). The shower had no water pressure whatsoever and was almost comical. None of the windows had proper locks/latches on them and the secondary lock on the door which they advise you to use at night for safety was missing the part that actually bolts it shut (they came out the second day and added a hook lock to the door when I notified them). The unit is isolated right on the beach and we were 2 women who didn't feel quite safe with these filmsy locks. I notified them of the issues via a detailed email when we got home (we actually left a day early because we wanted to get home to a real shower and not spend another night being cold and feeling we were in a dirty environment). One high point of our stay was there is a nice tv! I received a voicemail from a "Peter" at a blocked number on NY eve telling me he "understood we were not quite happy" and he would "try" to call me back the next day...New Year's day... and at that point I had enough. No...I could not call him back at a time that was convenient for me because he blocked his number. Wait a minute..I paid THEM $3,600 for a 4day stay (after all the extra fees they charge were added)... and they put us up in a dump and I was going to have to chase him down to tell this Peter what I already clearly outlined in an email? Bottom line is THEY DON'T CARE. End of story. I will never rent from them again. The ocean was beautiful but when we got home I told my daughter I felt like we had just been on a camping trip...a 4 day $3,600 camping trip. There are much better places to stay where you can get what you pay for that are clean and well kept.

    Enjoy your harrowing walk down to the beach.

    Ride the fine print with this company...because you can rent a $1,800 a night beach front house with sand access only to stay in a place with no beach or sand access...and then when you take them to small claims to get a refund on the 2 days you refused to stay in a place that was blatantly advertised as "beach front" you lose because legally...it is disclosed on their website, you might not get a beach. Check out the ad and the reality. They were willing to credit us a day or two if we used them again. Screw me once, that's on them....screw me twice? No thanks.

    Missing striker plate

    I would give them a zero star if I could. Rental 807-1, or 807 A, "they have it labeled differently ". Upon check-in this place was a nightmare. We waited until we could check-in at our designated time and once inside found the unit to be dirty and not ready for our arrival. Imagine a family of 12, traveling from all over the nation waiting outside after our check-in time to get in, while my wife is trying to contact the office to alert them of the basic expectations not being meet. She got nothing but the run around on the phone and almost felt inclined to have to go down to the office and have the discussion there since no progress was being done. Not knowing if they were going to relocate us to another unit or have someone come down and clean the unit. This company has the " hiding behind the phone, or Allison is not in, or she will call you back but never does, down pat." Even a week after our checkout they refuse to contact us. Allison, are you there? We are still waiting for your call... even though we have called once a day for 5 business days The deliberate snub on any basic communication is the most frustrating part of our experience. After an hour of waiting outside they finally tell us they will not relocate us and to enter the property and they would send someone over to clean. The pictures were misleading and several issues came up during the stay. This was a 50th birthday/family reunion. Plumbing in one of the rooms, a door handle for another room, thermostats in multiple rooms are a few of the stated issues reported to them. They changed the door code on us the day before we checked out. Our party standing in the rain waiting for them to respond to our calls to gain access again. On separate occasions they sent people to fix plumbing, which didn't get fixed and and to figure out us being locked out. They guy that showed up for the lock issue was a gem. Had a total attitude and of course opened the door on his first try and was trying to make us feel dumb. The reason it worked for him is he had the correct door code. They changed our door code in the middle of our stay without informing us. Have you ever had a hotel change your room key in the middle of your stay? How does this even happen? Take a look at the picture attached. This is the door to our unit. Missing a striker plate. Anyone can jimmy this door open with a screwdriver or a credit card. Lol, Does it look like it's secure to you? Would you feel comfortable with 12 people's belongings inside while out and about beautiful San Diego? One of our couples couldn't leave the unit waiting for 45 minutes for the plumbing to show up only to tell us they couldn't fix the issue. Would you feel comfortable having strangers inside, unmonitored with everyone's possessions inside? The tenants in the unit above us were loud, selfish and rude. It was the "me-show" for them. It was only about them in a shared environment. The garage and driveway. They parked a 4th car on the property essentially blocking our 3 vehicles in, on two separate occasions. Even in the contract it states in several different places that additional parking is less than a half mile away or a quarter block up the hill on the street. The second time being blocked in at 5:45am when one of our families is trying to get to the airport to catch a flight. Picture attached. How this place has only one trash can for two units hosting up to 28 people is of concern as well. Trash and recycling overflowing both bins by the end of the first night. With 4 cars parked in the garage and filled trash bags and recycling strewn all over the garage floor was a safety concern having to manage around or over the built up pile. You have been forewarned about planning any event with this business. We feel we paid way to much for the experience, service we received.

    False review posted in my name with follow up comments.

    I stayed in a beach front unit which I booked with VRBO. Had it not been for the dishonesty of this agency, I would have given them a much higher rating. I had a 5 star experience in a 3 star room with a company who posted a false customer review under my name adding positive comments to my stay. That is dishonest & while I did consider renting from them again, I now would NOT trust them with any of my personal information or credit card info. And that is why I am giving them a 1 star review. Our beach front cottage was a great location. Parking sucks but we were right on the water. I didn't mind that things were old. The amenities made up for it. The unit was well equipped for a short stay. I did mind that the window seals are so broken down that you can't see the ocean without opening the sliding glass door. (Kinda the main point of a beach front stay). You can't open one bedroom window & the other bedroom is next to a common area that is loud. Lots of foot traffic late into the night. Even in the flaws I would have done it again because I enjoyed myself a lot. But after I left I was notified that "my review" was posted to VRBO. Strange because I didn't write a review. I was actually going to. I was going to give my real stay 4 stars despite the flaws. To my surprise a review had been posted in my name with 5 stars as well as comments. Not only did they add two comments to my review but also responded to "my 5 star review". I flagged the activity with VRBO, but this was an extremely shady business practice & it would make me think twice to give them my personal info directly. The rentals are desirable & lovely. There was no reason to be this blatantly dishonest. So sad to see something good feel spoiled.

    Just open the doors...

    My beau and I just returned from Oceanside, staying in 835 S Pacific unit 9. It was simply AMAZING! The place was all about LOCATION!!!!! It was really darling, clean and had everything we could have needed! Extra large windows for viewing. But the oceanfront patio?!!!!!! Spectacular!!!! We spent almost all of our time there!!! The king sized bed was VERY comfortable and the bedding was great quality down. I can't complain about one thing...well, except it went by too fast!!! The staff were friendly and helpful. The tiniest little 'fix' was handled immediately and well (it didn't effect us, we just actually reported it to be good renters... but they were ON IT!). All in all, this rental gave us everything wet needed!!! We will DEFINITELY be back!!! We weekend travel a lot and rent from the typical air bnb etc. Thank you so much Beachfront Only, for giving us another great choice of beach front rentals and ultimately better experience!!!!!

Have been a customer for 17 years as have many family members and friends. Checked in, paid my balance by check and they cashed within an hour. Arrived in room to 2 dead cockroaches and a toilet which wouldn't flush. A live roach runs into bathroom and under sink. Told mgr Lily she called maintenance man who should arrive in hour or two. In the mean time, chased 2-3 other cockroaches killed one. Wife flushed other toilet to see if it worked and it overflowed on to floor and shower backed up spewing sewage. The smell was unbearable. Put down towels called manager she said she'd call plumber now. Went to get a glass in the cupboard and found a glass full of syringes. Obviously this place has not been cleaned. BROKEN TOILETS, LIVE AND DEAD COCKROACHES, RAW SEWAGE,SYRINGES were the issues within the first two hours of our family vacation. Plumber arrived and fixed plumbing. Still nobody cleaned bathroom floor or shower. And it reeked of sewage. We asked if anyone was going to clean up the roaches and the manager finally did. Manager tried to get us to stay with discounts and other rooms but they had nothing comparable and we were disgusted and really couldn't see ourselves staying anywhere in this place. We chased a roach and moved a chest of drawers and found RODENT AND COCKROACH FECES (see photo)Final straw was my son finding roaches climbing up from the drain in the shower into the pan. That's it. We never unpacked so we put everything in the truck and drove 2 hours home. Vacation week ruined. Family reunion ruined. I called the next morning and spoke to Lily and said I was driving down to pick up my refund. She confirmed that I would be getting 100% refund and that the owner was there and valued us as a customer and wanted a second chance. All I wanted was my money back I said. Drove 2 1/2 hours to be greeted by a check for half my total. So they kept $2400. Unbelievable. I will never give uLIARS on top of it Enjoy the photos. I have more and video to be posted. UPDATE. Owner called 9/12 and said he would be sending the balance of the refund. STILL NOTHING. After a month, I received a full refund. Not pleased with what I had to do, and was prepared to do in order to effectuate the full refund. They could have tried to make it right but failed. Sorry to say we won't be customers again.
