"This condo was perfect for our vacation stay. It had all the amenities like pool, hot tub, gym, rec room. The beach was only a 5 min walk. The condo provided all the extras like beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels. The room was a little dated and the carpets were a bit stained but for the price it was great. It had a full kitchen with all the appliances to make meals there while staying and we didn’t feel like we had to go out for every meal. The only downside we had which was our fault...

"This is an old accommodation and has been in its location while I was still active duty on Camp Pendleton MCB. I required one nite stay to visit old friends in north county SD. Yes, the lodgings are aged but maintained well. I appreciated the late night service as I came into LAX past midnite due to airline delays. Drove south an hour and was able to obtain room key at approximately 0315, hallelujah! Slept for three hours and departed at 0800 to complete tasks in SD prior noon to drive up to Ventura county. For a brief and somewhat inexpensive stay, I recommend this Harbor Inn, Oceanside. Thank you."
