"Great location for an adult getaway—just know what to expect! ​If you’re looking for a low-fuss, no-frills stay in the heart of Oceanside, this is your spot. Don’t expect a traditional hotel lobby or a long list of amenities—it’s essentially a Bed & Breakfast style room with an attached bath. But what it lacks in standard features, it makes up for in location and vibe. ​You get prime access to incredible food, drinks, beer, a great fire pit, and relaxing garden spaces. It’s perfect for adults...
