Like most properties on the ocean in Oceanside, this one is not new. The bathrooms and Kitchen we’re remodeled since the house was built and function well. The place had the feel of a short-term rental that hasn’t been visited by the owner in a while. For example, several lights are out (kitchen is the most impactful), kitchen utensils need to be refreshed, several windows don’t open (salt air hates metal), master shower has poor water flow. Another thing that needs attention is the patio, there’s so much furniture out there, it’s difficult to walk around – lose the outdoor dinning furniture, we had to put several chairs in the house so we could use it.
The downstairs part is gross, old and degrading, really needs a refresh. The ocean view, access and neighborhood are terrific of course. Walkability to the Strand and downtown / restaurants is 1 mile either way. We were there in Sept. notorious for being humid, the AC was terrific for this at night and sleeping. The furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced, could be worse because of the humidity, but time to refresh it regardless.
We had three issues (initial key code didn’t work, running toilet, and the toaster was dead) and Vacasa was excellent – super quick and fixed them all– nice work folks!
Before renting this again, I’d like to see the owner fix these and post it on the listing. If they reinvested a portion of their profits back into the property, this would be a 5/5.
