Pacific Overlook - Unit B

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.

The rental and the location were perfect for our family vacation. The porch view was fabulous, and it was a short walk to the beach/pier, restaurants, and shopping. The kitchen was very well stocked, and all the beds were comfortable. It was an added bonus to have 2 designated parking spaces available. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved the location and unit. Fun vacation

Pros:Beautiful oceanfront viewWe appreciated the property manager texting us to let us know we could check in early.Beautiful kitchen and had what we needed.The unit was very clean.Cons:Most of the door knobs and towel racks are broken throughout the house. Bathroom doors don't lock. Overall, could just use some basic maintenance updates and care.I wished there was a deadbolt lock on the main door to the unit. The house smelled like weed when we arrived but improved the following days. We expressed this to the property manager on arrival but he didnt respond. We didnt want to get charged a fee if the previous renters smoked in the unit.The main sliding patio doors are very heavy to open. They could use some maintenance as they do not close and seal all the way. Concern is letting pests inside.If you're looking for a place with easy, direct beach access, this is not it. There are no steps going to the beach from the property itself. Only rocks and not easy to climb down for adults. You'll need to walk down the street to get to the sand. However, if you're looking for just a beautiful oceanview and dont care about accessing the beach, then you'll enjoy this property.
