Wow! The pictures are spot on for this adorable cottage right on the water. It was VERY clean, the bed super comfy. Both of those are very important. Some other reviews complained about the noise. We did not find it overly noisy at all and if you are coming to Oceanside, you should know that this is a very happening place with lots of locals and tourists. We spent the mornings and evenings on the large deck either by the fire or up front with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The people watching, surfing, cars, waves,,,,, it was absolutely incredible. We walked everywhere to shops, coffee, restaurants, the pier and the harbor. All within about a mile and very doable. We will be back!!
