Owner was very helpful and transparent.

Queit retreat minutes from the beach! My wife and I came out for a relaxing weekend away before our first was born and we couldn't have asked for better! The host was very welcoming and the room and patio are quiet and private.

What a little gem. The outdoor private space was a game changer. Lovely place to recharge throughout our stay. Thanks Chris! :-)

We were only down for a few days and Kaza kokos was a perfect spot. The host is very communicative and goes out of their way to ensure everything is perfect. Gorgeous Patio area and very clean indoors and out.

Loooooved my stay at Kaza Kokos! I came down for about a week for a work/surf trip, which worked out really well. The pace is beautiful, really amazing artistic detail - Chris has great taste! Clean, cozy, really great communication on all fronts, and just an all around fabulous stay. I highly recommend this space and will definitely stay here if I'm back in the area. Thank you, Chris!

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything we could possibly have needed was there including bikes for us to explore the city (way less expensive than renting bikes from a company). The patio was brilliant and exactly what we were looking for. IF we come back to Oceanside, we will absolutely be staying here again.

Chris is an AMAZING host. The property is quaint and unique. The home is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood located within minutes from where you want to go. If you need time away from reality in a quaint tropical getaway, this is for you.

Just what we needed for our stay. Very clean, relaxing, easy to find, close to everything, and a fantastic host. Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed the stay & appreciated the ease of renting the extra bedroom.

Owner Chris Kokotos offers a relaxed and serene experience at his Kaza Kokos rental property in Oceanside, CA. Chris is the consummate host. A day before arrival, I received a text from Chris welcoming our family to his home and asking when we were planning to arrive so that he could make sure to greet us to show us around. Chris made himself available throughout our stay and even though the rental property is the back-side of his home with a shared walkway from the driveway to the rental rooms, Chris never violated our privacy on us or made us feel anything but welcomed. A note on the property itself - the rental space is almost equal size bedrooms and outdoor space. The outdoor space is warm and welcoming and display Chris' personal East Asian sensibility and tastes. Great shade covering and comfortable seating adorn the spacious back area designated for our use. The sleeping rooms and bathroom are well furnished, the beds comfortable with amenities and lots of outlets to plug and charge devices. The kitchenette off the bathroom is small but functional. If you come expecting to cook a large meal however, the kitchenette probably won't be sufficient, but the sink, fridge and microwave (along with a variety of spices!) were more than adequate for our family's needs. The property itself sits up on the hillside overlooking the ocean and the town. One drawback is that access to the main town center of Oceanside is a short drive (or bike ride) away rather than a walk. Nonetheless, the house is in a very nice neighborhood and we enjoyed the feeling of being part of a community while we stayed here. San Diego is a 25-30 minute drive down I-5 - far enough that you will want to plan your visits into San Diego accordingly. We enjoyed having the distance while retaining the option to visit San Diego's many fine restaurants, breweries, beaches and the Zoo. Overall, a great experience.

First time in California we had a great experience, couldn’t use the upstairs deck for some reason while other guest were allowed to. The best part about this location was the outside patio. Host was available when needed.

Chris was an AMAZING host. He was there when I arrived and even took me to the local store (which was like a family-owned Whole Foods) to get some food after a long flight. The room itself was clean and cozy. The pictures don't do it justice. The patio is super detail oriented, HUGE and relaxing! There's so much greenery and sunlight and cozy places to sit and relax. It's especially great for morning coffee in the sun with the birds. At one point, my grocery bags were delivered by the fence and it started raining, so Chris moved them under cover for me. The location itself is 1 mile from the beach and an adorable beachfront cafe. I loved walking there every morning and taking in the sights, knowing at the end of my walk, the cafe and ocean would be right there waiting for me! There are plenty of sidewalks so the walk is safe. You will NOT find a more hospitable place to stay, and you can't beat the price. I will be back! Thanks, Chris!

Such a great overall experience. I came to CA for intensive work training and this was the perfect place to relax and regenerate each night. Quiet neighborhood and calming atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better host. Highly recommended!

We liked the property, comfortable and clean, host very attentive.

Such tremendous attention to detail and craftsmanship has been dedicated to making this peaceful, Zen retreat. Perfect for a getaway, or staycation, Chris is an unrivaled host. Friendly, attentive and helpful, he is second to none. Extremely clean rooms, with a patio area to read, relax and enjoy: Kaza Kokos has it all!

Our host was so accommodating and friendly! He thought of almost everything and whatever we asked for, he provided. The 2 bedrooms are spacious and very clean. Kitchenette is in the bathroom, which is kind of weird, but the property is charming and comfortable. We started a trend! If you stay here, sign the bottom of a plate or bowl along with the date and where you're from! Thanks Chris!

This was my second stay here and once again it was a great experience! The property is clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated to give you a relaxing, island vibe. It is easily accessed, has a parking space included, and is close to all of the popular spots in San Diego County. Chris is a great host and goes out of his way to make sure your stay is the best it can be. I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning a visit to the San Diego area!

I stayed 4 nights. The place is clean, updated, and quiet. If the weather had been better I would have taken advantage of the awesome patio area. Communication was awesome. I would definitely recommend this place.

Chris is a wonderful host! Friendly, responsive, and helpful His place was also great! Super clean, nice design and decor and just a nice cozy place to be :) we loved it!
