We loved that this place had the washer/dryer. Lots of towels. Pull out bed. Our own parking stall. It was close to the beach, stores, and restaurants and equipped with what we needed in the kitchen, bathroom etc. ##### Laramie W.

Stayed here with my wife and son for the Ironman 70.3 Oceanside. The unit is in a neighborhood of nice single family homes, and comes with parking. Inside it is clean, roomy, and very thoughtfully decorated, and the kitchen has all the amenities you could need. Washer and dryer were handy too. If you want to spend time outside, there are a couple of seating areas to use, and a very friendly cat to play with. Would stay again if I ever return to the area. ##### Matthew M.

It was fully stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable for a month. We loved the fire pit in the backyard and taking walks around the neighborhood. We also enjoyed taking the bikes out on the ra trail. ##### Andrea H. Stayed 28 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeff r. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### summer beach trip Our stay at the surf shack was awesome.They have this shack in the back of their residence. It's on a quiet street that is close to everything in Northern San Diego County. The Shack is really a beautiful one bedroom apt. Fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room with smart t.v. with a Bose speaker, a nice size bathroom, and large king size bedroom. Outside has a sitting area in a quiet area with a gas fire pit. Private parking off the street. Kaleigh and her husband AJ are wonderful host. We will be back as our beach vacation retreat. ##### jeff r. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert K. Aug 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### California Dreaming Property is dated. Found up to four light bulbs that were burned out, one bulb missing. Kitchen chairs looked nice but have nuts and bolts missing or falling out of the chair section. Nuts loosening up on chair legs, this could be dangerous. Sparsely supplied, spoons both tea and table. Bed was comfortable, dishwasher and washer dryer were a real plus. No wash cloths, only two kitchen towels, no shower soap. Rusted colander, badly rusted would not use and should be disposed of. Could not find a sink stopper for the kitchen, to hand wash dishes. ##### Robert K. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert K. Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surf Shack works well for us. First of all the cupboards were very well stocked. There also was a nice supply of essentials such as TP, paper towels, foil, saran wrap, coffee filters, dish soap, laundry soap, many spices. ##### Robert K.

Such a cute place with great decor and beach vibe. It's everything I wanted in a beach vaca rental. My only complaint is the coffee pot was stored in the back of a cabinet so we didn't find it until the last day. The place was super clean and had a lot of great things available for use. I would highly recommend the Surf Shack and absolutely stay here again! ##### Amber S.

Our last month long stay was in Oceanside. Our hosts were super welcoming, the place was clean, nicely decorated, homey, and set up well for us to explore the area. Definitely worth a short or long term visit! ##### Matthew C. Stayed 41 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah S.

In fact we even stayed longer than initially planned since we enjoyed it so much. Everything was super clean and tidy. I really liked the decor and style of this place. Bed is very comfortable and has a brand new mattress. The outdoor area is great. Overall it was much larger than I had expected it. Communication was easy. We had one issue during our stay which the host took care of right away and fixed it. It’s a very convenient location close to beaches, supermarkets etc. in a very cute and safe neighborhood. I would highly recommend this place. Hopefully I can stay in again in the future. ##### Hannah S. Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen B.
