The house was very clean and well equipped with everything you need. Tracie was extremely responsive. The backyard was an amazing retreat and having the ocean breeze so close was great. Exactly as described. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The home was very clean and the hosts are incredibly responsive and accommodating. There were a few things I wish I had paid closer attention to when booking- specifically, the pool is not heated and the water is rather cold. Unfortunately, our kids didn't use the magnificent water slide outside just because we were there on a 70-degree week, so the water never warmed up enough. The other point to note is that the house does not have A/C. Again, we were there on a cooler week, so it didn't matter as much to us- but it's just something to note. Regardless of those two items, I would highly recommend this property to any larger families. The backyard landscape and set-up is unlike any other you will find in the San Diego area. The rooms are clean, well kept, and spacious. There is plenty of supplies to host perfect gatherings of all sizes. The beaches (and LegoLand) are very close by (drivable for sandy beaches) so it made it for a really nice stay for us.

Our host was wonderful. Super responsive and timely in getting back to us. All the children loved the pool, obviously, but it was easy stroll or van ride to the beach north of the pier. Only small thing that I would like to see if we returned was updated kitchen ware and appliances. Not a show stopper though. We made it work!

The pictures do not do this place justice! It is beautiful and cozy and CLEAN!!!! Everything in the home was welcoming from the moment we walked in. Host had a chalkboard welcome sign with our last name by the patio door and a couple of treats for the kids along with a welcome note. More than enough room for everyone in our party and not feel like we were climbing all over each other. 2 adults, 2 persnickety teens and 2 8year old boys were ALL oooohing and ahhhhhing over the house and the backyard. Having a PRIVATE pool with a water slide made for a refreshing arrival. While the adults got the grocery items* squared away, the kids jumped in right away which was perfect after a 6 hour car ride in the summer heat. No expense was spared with items in the home. Couch was comfortable, as were the beds. Tons of towels for bathing and separate ones for the pool. Pretty much any item you'd need for the beach is there: wagons, chairs, umbrella, sandcastle toys, cooler. The only things we needed to bring were clothes, swimsuits, and food. Property is close enough to multiple beaches without having a ton of foot traffic walking by and peering in your place like we've experienced when staying closer to the sand. We all felt right at home and didn't want to leave after our 5 nights. Tracie was the absolute best host and her property manager was also readily available at a moments notice to answer any questions we had like turning on/off the pool slide and jacuzzi settings. Can't wait to book for next summer!!! *if traveling from out of town, I highly recommend downloading Ralph's grocery store app and doing grocery pickup. I placed my order the morning we left our state and picked everything up at 5pm the evening of our arrival. Shaved off so much time wandering around a store I wasn't familiar with and I was able to get back right away and enjoy vacation.

The property was very clean and well taken care of. Everything you would need and more was provided by the property owner. Location was close enough to the beach but far enough away to not have the beach crowds impacting your vacation. The back yard was amazing.

This place is perfect for families and gathering. Everything is well appointed; there is nothing lacking for any cooking/grilling need. The beach is close by, but it's easy to get drawn into the pool and hot tub and forget the ocean is even nearby. We were there over Easter holiday and the owner went out of her way to decorate the house in a festive manner; even leaving an Easter beach bucket with trinkets for each of my children. Not sure how anyone could have a problem with the train -- I am a light sleeper and it was no issue at all! I would definitely rent here again if we go back to Oceanside!

Everything was awesome about this property from having everything we needed, to the attention to small details by the property owner. Pool & hot tub were great along with expansive back patio. We walked the short walk to the ocean every morning & evening. We would definitely stay here again!

Best stocked vacation rental I have ever been to. Everything for the beach: boogie boards, umbrellas, chairs, even bikes. Pool toys, very well stocked kitchen. We felt instantly at home. It was an easy walk to a great locals beach. Close to the freeway and downtown Carlsbad. Plenty of space. Great bonus room that me tween/teen loved. The backyard really felt like being at a resort. Owner is super responsive. There was an SDG&E power cut and she even offered to bring over more flashlights.

Easy and professional. Would definitely rent again.

This house is wonderful. It's very clean and well maintained but not at all fussy, a comfortable and welcoming place for our family vacation. The kitchen is very well equipped. Lot's of towels and "extras" for kids/families. The pool is great.We kinda liked hearing the train.The host is truly a pleasure to work with and I hope our family will be able to go back again.

This was a perfect place to relax in the ocean breeze. If you are looking for somewhere to have a home away from home during quarantine this is ideal

This property was an awesome place for an easy getaway! We were two families that traveled to California for a quick break before school started. The rental process and communication with the property owner were super easy; she's incredibly kind and gave wonderful recommendations. She even left bubbles for our kiddos! The house itself is in a perfect location: you are a quick 10 minute drive to Legoland, a few blocks from a smaller beach (where I enjoyed taking morning walks with my early-rising toddler), and a <5 minute drive to the big, open public beaches near the Oceanside pier. Plus, you can take very easy day trips to the San Diego Zoo, Disneyland, etc. For food, a grocery store and shopping area with tons of easy restaurants (think noodles & co, chipotle, etc) is just one exit over, which was super convenient with little ones. And there was an awesome family pizza & brews spot just a couple blocks away. The house was also well stocked with everything we might need: cook wear, coffee maker, towels, boogie boards even! And we all loved the pool and slide -- which was so nice to come home to after a long day of fun but when the kids still needed to burn off some energy. The patio furniture is looking a little worse for the wear but definitely worked and offered great outdoor areas to relax in. The only downside I would mention about this place is that it is not the quietest. There are busy train tracks one street over with trains running at all hours -- but that will be the case if you stay anywhere near the beach in this area (the train tracks run along the coast for most of Southern California). After the first night we bought some earplugs for the whole family and Advil PM for the adults and we all slept soundly. Also, I think the neighbors are going through a rough patch in their relationship because we heard them loudly bickering quite a bit. Again, not a big deal and didn't effect us much, we just closed the windows in the back bedroom. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental if you are a family looking to take an easy Southern California vacation. We made really wonderful memories and would rent again!!

This is a great house with plenty of clean, nicely decorated rooms. The kids loved their own room with a bunk beds and the slide and pool. Check in was easy and we had wine, popcorn and cinnamon rolls left for us which was a very nice treat. The kitchen was well supplied and towels, sunscreen and beach accessories supplied. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home, great location, super awesome host!! Awesome experience

Upsides: Backyard was fantastic! Owner was very helpful, kind, responsive. Even left super thoughtful gifts for our two sons. Tons of great toys to entertain the boys. Loved having laundry access and big kitchen. Downsides: The passing train was extremely loud and blasted it’s horn at all hours. Our two young kids did not sleep well and therefore nor did we. We walked to the small beach one day but with the kids and the wagon it was quite the hike. For as close as it is to the beach, access isn’t the easiest. We opted to drive to Oceanside two days the week we stayed and had a great time there. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a lovely vacation despite the lack of sleep.

We have been vacationing with VRBO for years and this was one of the best places we found. Tracie keeps the home and yard immaculate (my dogs loved the cushy grass and we loved the pool). The kitchen is stocked to perfection and for someone who loves to cook, that's a big plus. Even the neighbors were very nice on both sides. Thanks Tracie for your attention to detail and your ultra quick response to every silly question I asked.

This place was awesome! We loved the location, the house, and the yard! Perfect place for a fun family vacation!

The home was close to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. It had everything we needed and plenty of toys, games and movies to keep the kids entertained when they were not in the pool. We spent most of our time in the back yard when we were at the house. Tracie was in contact with us prior to and during our stay. The location is great. Thanks Tracie for providing us a wonderful place to stay.

Fantastic location, great house, very well equipped and clean. Pool and yard are incredible....if you are looking for a great family vacation spot, check this out. The combination of the amazing outdoor living yard set up and being walking distance from beach, hard to beat. Owners were excellent from start to finish. Proximity to the train tracks (noise) is the only caution, but that's a reality of any location close to the beach in Oceanside. 2 thumbs up!

Tracie is a WONDERFUL host and she made sure we had everything we needed! Her home is perfect for entertaining and vacationing. There was enough room for everyone and we enjoyed the pool and nights by the fire! House is very clean and well-maintained. Terrific kitchen and living area and many outdoor spaces to enjoy! Convenient to many places - Oceanside beaches/pier, La Jolla, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Crystal Creek State Park all within a one hour drive! Thanks Tracie!

We had a great time at Tracie's house! It was a perfect location for a week long family vacation! We have four children ages 2, 5, 8 and 10. Our children loved the pool and beach toys. Tracie was very accommodating to our request of a pack & play and life jackets. The property was very close to the beach as you can see on map quest, but we chose to drive to the beach as we brought all the fun beach toys Tracie provides (chairs, wagon, sand toys, boogie boards, umbrella, beach towels, etc). Our youngest daughter still naps so having the pool was wonderful for the older children to play in while she napped. The house is close to San Diego and all it has to offer but it was wonderful to be away from traffic and noise of the city. The backyard provides a quiet relaxing atmosphere to have a glass of wine with the wood fire place and gas fire place. We wondered how the train would be as you can see the property is close to train tracks. Our children loved watching the train go by and even got out of the pool when they heard it coming so they could watch it go by! We were very happy with our choice to stay at this property and would love to return for another stay! Thank you Tracie!

Great place for family to stay! Close to a nice beach and play area for small children. Close to Pacific Coast Hwy and lots of breweries and food places to explore. There are 4 coaster bikes at the home available that will get you to these areas if you don't want to walk or drive. The house is very comfortable and roomy with 2 full baths and a great kitchen. The backyard, however is the crown jewel of the property. The pool is so refreshing and it has a slider hat granny as well as kids can enjoy. There are 4 sitting areas around the pool making it impossible for you NOT to relax! There is a trampoline for kids to enjoy as well as all sorts of pool toys, beach toys, a wagon to haul chairs and necessities to the beach. If your entire family can't have a relaxing, fun vacation here, they can't anywhere! Note: the Coaster train is right in front of the house and runs all night with loud horns. Everyone got use to that quickly, but may be difficult for small children under 3 years of age when they sleep.

We booked this rental for a family birthday celebration. There were 4 adults and 3 children for our stay (7 years, 2 years, 10 months). We had high expectations based on all of the positive reviews, and we're happy to report that we agree with all of the previous reviewers! The owner sent us a text that we could go in early the first day of our rental, so that was nice. We found everything to be very clean and well appointed - it's nicely decorated and comfortable. There were 3 good sized bedrooms plus a large bonus bedroom with full bathroom perfect for someone desiring separate space away from the other 3 bedrooms. We loved the open floorplan kitchen/living room/dining room area. The kitchen was well stocked - we were able to cook full meals and enjoy them outside on the patio. There were plenty of towels for the bathroom, pool, and beach. There were great toys indoors (board games, video games/system, movies) for our 7 year old boy and outdoor toys for the pool/beach for all ages. We used the bikes for one ride to the store. The backyard is FANTASTIC - awesome gas firepit we used most nights, 2 dining tables (one with umbrella/shade), large trampoline, outdoor fireplace and seating area, and of course the amazing pool with waterslide. We loved the fruit trees in the yard and appreciated the owner leaving a note to enjoy picking what we wanted from them! She also left a nice welcome note and gifts for the kids along with a comprehensive information packet. The labels throughout the property were subtle and helpful. In terms of location, it was a easy walk to the beach and playground or to main road with restaurants/shops. We would highly recommend this property for family vacations!

This was our 3rd summer and family vacation with Tracie and her amazing beach house. This home is very family friendly and our children and grandchildren absolutely love it. We love that it is close enough to a beautiful beach spot to ride bikes or walk. The home has a beautiful open floor plan and comfy beds. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We bring in the groceries and honestly rarely move the car out of the driveway. Restaurants and shopping within a short walk or bike ride. The backyard has been meticulously designed for family fun and relaxation. Great place and super responsive owner. Highly recommend. Can't wait for next summer!

We needed a place in close proximity to our family's house in Oceanside and we hit the jackpot with this house. We have a 4 and 7 year old and there was always something to do at the house. They absolutely loved the pool -- it was such a nice way to wind down after a day at the beach. Their cousins came over for the day and all the kids had such a blast playing with the toys, jumping on the trampoline, watching movies....while the adults could sit around the fire pit or fireplace. The house is more stocked than your average rental...it has everything you need and more. Tracie was in contact during our stay to see if there was anything we needed, but we were well taken care of from the moment we arrived. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

I stayed here with a family of 9 and everyone loved it. The age range was 2-60. The walk to the beach was quick and we enjoyed the near by restaurants. The walk to Carlsbad was a little long, but very easy with the bikes that were on the property to use. We found Carlsbad had more to offer. It is where more of the shopping, multiple restaurants and another beach area is located (about 2 miles from the house). The only thing we wished was that we went later in the year so the pool was warmer. The outdoor fire places were awesome!! Our favorite breakfast place was just 2 blocks at Beach Break Cafe. Our experience with booking, and contact with Tracey was also wonderful. If back in the area we would rent from her again.
