Being just a few feet from the ocean was a wonderful experience for us. The lovely owner provides all the beach things you could need, such as boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, etc. The location is perfect. We walked to get coffee and breakfast sandwiches each morning, and explored around town. For dinner: You can use a application called Ride circuit and it will take you to the bars and bring you back and it's inexpensive Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is so soothing was the best part I have decided this is our annual birthday trip/vacation spot and I am already counting down the days to next year!

My stay at Marbella in Oceanside was nothing short of perfect! From the moment I arrived, I was…read moreblown away by how clean, comfortable, and well-appointed the space was. The decor is modern and coastal--totally Instagram-worthy--but also incredibly cozy and inviting. The location is unbeatable. Just steps from the beach and a short walk to great restaurants, coffee shops, and local boutiques, I truly felt like I had the best of Oceanside at my fingertips. I especially loved enjoying sunsets from the sun deck and waking up to the sound of the waves. Trevor was responsive, and made everything effortless from check-in to check-out. They clearly take pride in making guests feel welcome and at home. If you're looking for a peaceful, stylish beach retreat in a prime spot, this is it. I'm already planning my next trip back to Marbella--highly recommend!

We sat out front in the blue chairs in the evenings watching cars, and people pass on by. They have all you need there. I highly recommend it!!! Trust me, make it your getaway spot!

Beats paying for a hotel room. We will be returning soon for sure!!

Booked through Airbnb to host our family group while we laid out Navy Veteran to rest at sea…read more Pricing: -You will be charged additional fees for EVERYTHING +Before and during the stay there were options made available to add nights prior and after check out. That was nice. -Overall for the quality and the services rendered, it would have been cheaper to stay in an actual hotel with consistent amenities and breakfast options. Amenities: +Walking distance to the beach. +It was nice that almost every room had an adjoining bathroom. +The room rental had a killer view of the ocean. +Theres a lot to do in the area +There was a hot tub on the third story that was neat. +There were several balconies within the unit, some facing the ocean and some facing the city. It was nice to have different spaces like this. Host Communications: -This is not an independent home or individual running location, it's a corporate operation that's using Airbnb to host their properties. We had a contact person but everything was through "Beachfront Only Vacation Rentals." -Maintenance had to come three different times during the course of a weekend stay. At this point a hotel would have knocked fees off, upgraded you, moved you rooms, no efforts were made to make this right for us. When you have guests that experience as many issues with a rental as we did; you have a responsibility to make that right on your end. This wasn't a summer beach vacation. This was a Navy Veteran funeral service. Services were at several places nearby and at sea, but all of us stayed in the rental. The last thing any of us had the head space for, was extra issues during an already difficult time. The night before the funeral we were going to make pizza for our group. No oven. By the time the handyman showed up there wasn't time to do this and we had to scramble to feed a large group at the last minute, with no compensation for the evening they ruined. Issues: -Not handicap accessible (the shore is accessible over rocky terrain and not during high tide at all). There are stairs all over the house and an elevator you have to pay additional service fees for. -Older appliances. Despite the listings offering a newly renovated atmosphere, you can tell corners were cut and several of the appliances didn't work; like the fire pit, TVs, oven. (I'm wondering if they disable the oven due to all the reviews I've read about similar issues). -Tell tale signs of rust and wear. Throughout the house in several places, things are rusting. I know the salt content in the air makes this happen, but I shouldn't have to worry about tetanus when I flush a toilet. -Cleanliness was not up to par. The floors turned everyone's feet black. There are hardwood floors throughout the rental, so you constantly feel like there is dirt and things stuck to your feet. Bathrooms didn't seem clean & one of the showers had mystery spots in it??? -Not adequate supplies for larger groups. Our group was well below the maximum occupancy and we ran out of towels the first night. Soaps and toilet paper in some bathrooms ran out as well. -Everything electronic (lights & A/C units) is run on timers and will not stay on longer than 30 minutes. We had one of our family members slip and fall during our stay because lights in the shower turned off. -The rentals are built so close to each other that having windows open or being on balconies doesn't offer as much privacy as I would have liked. -Everything is wet and humid. I'm aware that ocean front humidity is uncontrollable. For some reason every other location I've ever stayed with didn't have this issue. Swim clothes didn't dry, even after being hung out for days at a time. Books and papers warped, everything felt damp. The rental gave us an opportunity to come together and take care of the main reason we were there. The host issues and state of the Airbnb though made all of it a lot harder than it had to be. In a city where you are spoiled for choice when it comes to accommodations, more care and consideration should have been given. Good luck guys.

I am pleased with my stay at a Beachfront Only rental. I shared a house with another family on the…read moresouth strand in Oceanside. Although we didn't have beach access since we were on the rocky side, which was all clearly in the description, we all still had a great time. For two families with three kids altogether, I felt safe in the home. The kids' room was all the way at the far end from the front door, which is what I prefer for their safety. The kids didn't even use the room, as the little nook was far more appealing. Garage parking was available, but it's very tight and you'll have to move cars around with the other units you'll share the garage with. Best to park on the street. There was a generous supply of beach towels, bedding, and pillows. Not having to clean up is always a bonus (although I usually like to clean up and make it easier for the cleaning crew), which lessens the stress when checking out. There were also plenty of outlets throughout the house for all to plug in their devices. The process of checking in and out was fairly easy. I did stub my toe and was pleasantly surprised that a first aid kit was available. Check under the kitchen sink. An addition of a hose on the patio or shower station to wash off sand, would be great. A tub of water is provided, but it could only rinse off so much when getting into the hot tub. The WiFi connection wasn't the best, but it wasn't a big deal. This little getaway was meant for offline activities anyway. We will definitely rent again and I already have my eye out for one particular house.

The only disappointment was not being able to have a drink with Mike and Debbie on the beach one day while we were there, they seem like fun people. Just kidding with them. We look forward to renting from them again.

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.

We were greeted by a lady who seemed to ask us too many questions about who we were & if we are "owners" & that we "needed" to move our vehicle. We found out how to ck in without the office open and moved in to our parking space related to our "condo" stay. It was an upstairs unit that was a cute little place for the location and view of the beach. The unit was equipped with all the needs for our stay. The studio had a murphy bed that needed some mattress improvement. Saturday morning we found a note put on our H2 vehicle about the measurement requirements / parking space (which we were within requirements), and if we did not comply our first offense would be $50 and second offense would be a tow away! We liked the place but felt like the people who owned their units were being too watchful and unwelcoming to us. We continued our stay for 2 days and then decided to leave. I would come back to stay because it is a delightful beach location to stay but maybe come in a different vehicle & be prepared to ignore the other tenants if they repeat their unwelcoming watchful eye.
