I'm staying in a two bedroom that's very spacious. We have a family of four and it's perfect. Two bedroom and two baths. This is a boutique feel, the staff is incredible. They have beach towels, toys, chairs and umbrellas to make your beach day perfection. The rooms are completely remodeled with a modern, beachy feel. The beds are comfortable with fluffy pillows and white comforters. I'm here in the peak season and it's around $7k for a week. I personally think it's worth paying more to be right on the beach. It's absolutely heaven to wake up to the sounds of the ocean and see the sunset on the water every night. Also, it's dog friendly!

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.

Check-in was effortless and so quick. I really appreciate the clear communication and easy instructions. I personally loved staying in Unit #4, you have the best of both worlds, proximity to the upper street during the day and the stunning ocean view on the upper level. The unit is small but honestly the perfect size for a couple. It's an older building but that adds to the charm. You truly feel like you are living like a local. It comes equipped with everything you need. Plenty of linens and toiletries. Even beach chairs and lanterns. The high deck chairs on the patio are perfect for sitting and watching the sunset or looking for dolphins off the coast. I felt super safe the whole time. The property is within walking distance to coffee shops, the pier, dining and more. Highly recommend a stay. Can't wait to go back.

Garage or street depends on if you've been assigned one by room number. I reached out prior to see but no one got back to me. They do provide street parking pass, late-night arrival with a baby adds an extra layer of chaos. Street spots are usually fine. Second and third floors, no elevator, so pack light. Trash is your responsibility, and cleaning is noticeably present with the sound of vacuums. Monday mornings felt like a construction site at 7am and 10am, not ideal for naps. (There was street construction) Room quirks: small fridge, weird bathroom layout (toilet opposite sink, lefties beware). Food options within walking distance are limited. Community chairs, sand toys, boards are included Despite the hustle, Marbella has charm. It's clean, comfortable, and relax no fluff, no pretension. Come prepared, and you'll enjoy it.

We rented Beachfront Only property P1643-0 at 1643 S Pacific Street in Oceanside. Unfortunately, we…read moreleft shortly after checking in because of conditions that raised serious health and safety concerns. The property had a strong odor, dark staining or growth-like discoloration in multiple locations, substantial dirt and debris on a large HVAC return grille, and damaged or missing material behind another HVAC register. Three members of our party experienced reactions while inside the property, and the odor affected my wife's allergies. I cannot confirm from photographs that the visible material was mold. However, the suspected dampness, possible air-quality issues, and condition of the HVAC components made us uncomfortable remaining in the home. I have posted photographs so prospective renters can evaluate the visible conditions themselves. We immediately notified Beachfront Only, provided photographs, requested relocation, and agreed to allow housekeeping to respond while management investigated another property. The company acknowledged that our relocation and cancellation request had been forwarded to management. No suitable alternative was provided before we had to leave and secure other accommodations. This was not a change of plans or a complaint made after completing the stay. We reported the conditions immediately, gave the company an opportunity to provide a safe alternative, and left only after one was not provided. I am also concerned about how reviews are presented on Beachfront Only's website. The site displays numerous reviews and gives this property a 4.9 rating, but I could not find a way to submit a review directly on the current property page or through a general public review form. If reviews are accepted only through selectively distributed post-stay surveys, prospective renters may not be seeing a complete range of guest experiences. In my opinion, displaying reviews without giving guests a clear way to submit honest feedback is misleading. We reported the health and safety concerns to the City of Oceanside and requested an inspection. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this property or management company.

Overall, we had a nice stay, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement…read more The positives first: check-in was quick and easy, the room was spacious, and I really appreciated that there was no carpet. We appreciated the complementary breakfast. The towels and bedding were clean, and the hotel staff kept providing fresh, clean towels throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The beach attendants were friendly, the hotel provides sand toys for kids, and we really enjoyed the live music in the evenings. The location is excellent and made it easy to enjoy the beach. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room upon arrival was disappointing. The toilet seat had what appeared to be blood or feces on it, there was urine around the base of the toilet, which made it seem like the bathroom floor hadn't even been mopped, and there were crumbs and bits of food, along with a few dead bugs, around the beds. Thankfully, I had hand sanitizer with me and cleaned the bathroom before my children used it. A few other things to note: the balcony door was difficult to open, there was no screen door, and the complimentary beach chairs are quite small and may not be comfortable for larger adults. The sheets also seemed too small for the mattresses and kept coming off the corners during the night, which made sleeping less comfortable, no mattress covers. The beach itself is beautiful but fairly small, so it becomes crowded quickly. One suggestion for future guests: please rinse the sand off before you are getting into the pool, I witnessed people rinsing off im the pool after beach then after 2-3 minutes they came out and went upstairs. The pool is not a shower and the sand on the bottom of the pool hurt. Also, once you're finished using the beach loungers, remove your towels instead of leaving them behind. It was difficult to tell which chairs were actually occupied and which were available because many loungers had towels left on them. Overall, this hotel has a fantastic location and several nice amenities, but better attention to room cleanliness and a few small improvements would make a big difference. * also bring water shoes, the rocks at the beach are very painful*
