  a guest from Mars, PA recommends this vacation rental

  Our overall experience at North Coast village was very good. We really enjoyed the beach being so close and it's location was convenient to local attractions. The outdoor grounds/pool/hot tub were beautiful! The condo was equiped with everything we needed for our stay - we loved not having to bring our own beach necessities(towels/toys/chairs). Sandy and her staff were awesome! We had to change our initial plans and they were extremely accomodating!! My only negative comment would be that the condo was a little "outdated" and the sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable (but my son didn't mind - Had our guests been adults I do not think that would have worked out too well).Thank you Sandy for making our vacation a trip to remember!

  VALERIE A from SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA recommends this vacation rental

  GREAT PRICE AND EASY BOOKING AND CHECK IN PROCESS FOR A NICE WEEK IN OCEANSIDE. LARGE UNIT GAVE OUR 5 ADULTS ROOM TO BREATH YET BE TOGETHER. BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS, VERY SHORT WALK TO BEACH, SAFE GARAGE PARKING WITH PAY LAUNDRY ON GARAGE LEVEL MADE STAY VERY CONVENIENT. LIKE THAT THERE ARE RECYCLE RECEPTACLES ON EACH FLOOR AND A TRASH CHUTE, ALTHOUGH WE ONLY HAD 2 TRASH BAGS IN UNIT AND RULES SAY TO BAG YOUR TRASH. I FELT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR THE WHOLE STAY. PLENTY OF LINENS AND FLUFFY TOWELS FOR BATH AND POOL. UNIT SLEPT 8, BUT ONLY 5 PLACEMATS AND CHAIRS AT TABLE FOR ONLY 6? WOULD LIKE TO RETURN WITH GRANDKIDS DURING SUMMER. THANKS SANDY.

  Sandy Vacations was very professional and on the ball. This property had a great location and a great view. The grounds were beautiful. The unit itself was beat up and needed maintenance, had not been cleaned well at all. Need some work in those areas.......otherwise a great stay for us.

  • Manager Responded on 2/17/2012

    We're disappointed to hear about the cleanliness from this guest. We had a new housekeeper handle the cleaning for this arrival and apparently we will need to work more closely with them to bring the level up to our standards for our future guests enjoyment.

  MARILYN P from Gold Canyon, AZ recommends this vacation rental

  We couldn't have chosen a better place to spend our 60th anniversery - it had everything we had hoped for and then some. Icing on the cake was the upgrade to a penthouse unit.Our only problem was checking in - the guard shack was hidden by foliage and
  there wasn't any sign telling us to "follow the painted yellow steps". Our unit was spotless and and equipped with everything, Can't wait to go again.

  We certainly did enjoy our stay. If I had any issues it would be with the floors not being flat. The uper bed roon and the area around the kitchen is in need of repair. If it was my home I would repair the falling floor and slant in the room.

  a guest from Lehi, Ut. recommends this vacation rental

  The sofa sleeper was broken and didn't have a top sheet. The salt shaker was empty in about two shakes. The train and traffic were really noisy when the doors and windows were open. The walls were dirty around the doors and cupboards around the knobs.
  We washed the cupboards. The parking for a second car was hard. It would have helped to be able to buy a week's pass for the outside parking lot. Other than that, it was clean and nice. It had good beach equipment. The beds were comfortable. Great view of
  the ocean upstairs. We had a fabulous time.

  a guest from Cottonwood Heights, UT recommends this vacation rental

  The swimming pool and grounds were wonderful. They were well-maintained. We loved the view from the penthouse deck. A few drawbacks were: little ants in the kitchen, the sofa bed was uncomfortable, and we couldn't turn on the fireplace. But the location
  was ideal, people were friendly and we loved the close proximity to the beach. We would like to have had an additional parking place for our second car. Thank you.

  Just missed Air Conditioning and the nightly train noises was a little loud

  • Manager Responded on 7/15/2011

    Yes this is true in Southern California, none of the homes along the coast were built with air conditioning since the weather conditions and ocean breezes keep the climate comfortable most of the year. All properties are equipped with fans for the rare week that the temperatures may rise. The coaster runs along the entire coastline and provides a convenient transportation option! These are the pleasures of a beach vacation!

  Bill F from Laramie, WY recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed for 6 days in March and had a great time. The two levels were great for two families. The ocean was clearly visible from the condo and a very close walk away. Kitchen was pretty small but it didn't pose a problem. Over all it was a great stay and the value was fantastic.

  Sherri W from Chandler, AZ recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed at NCV to get a feel for the property so before we checked in we went with a realator. She was certain that we did not have a view in the B building. She was SURPRISED to see the view and oh what a nice view. What a great surprise and a little parental retreat on the second floor. The stay was too short and can't wait to do it again....even in the off season.

  We had a great time at this vacation property. The property amenities were nice and the location was ideal. The only down side with the Condo was a bit dirty and we had to do some cleaning when we arrived. With this in mind we are already looking at our schedule for next summer.

    Thank you for this feedback. We've resolved these issues with housekeeping.

  Ali G from San Diego, Ca recommends this vacation rental

  I used to live in that area. Most of my friends do still. I had several doctors appts that week and it was my birthday week so I decided to cheer myself up and get a vacation rental in the area and sort of pretend I lived there again...invite friends over...cook...beach walks...I scoured craigslist for days and was about to give up on the idea when Sandy responded warmly to my request. She walked my scattered brain through it all and got me an incredible deal on a 2 bedroom who's balcony from the master bedroom had the perfect ocean view as well as a grill and bar seats for us to enjoy. As we were all sitting out there before sunset one friend (who mind you actually lives in a lovely condo across from the beach) turned to me and said 'I feel like we're on vacation.' That was exactly what I was aiming for. As with any rental there are a couple NOT forget your door code. put it in your phone(s) and memorize it. I misplaced the paper before doing so and was locked out for a good 2 hours. Even that wasn't too bad since the grounds are huge and gorgeous I just strolled around by the carp pond and strangely couldn't find the gate that opens out to the beach. I think that was just me though. I could've asked for directions at the office in the center of it all but, I kind of liked getting lost in the tropical maze. The place stays this serene because they have rules so do yourself a favor and watch the video(link is in the checkin procedure email you'll get)and you'll be all set. Don't forget the harbor is right there. Walk out past the security hut and go left. There's a great little coffee spot there you can sit and watch the boats go by...If you're the kind that wants a concierge at your beck and call this isn't for you. If you're the kind that wants a home away from home and to chill uninterupted, look no further. This is the place and Sandy is just plain awesome.

  Daniel R from Las Vegas, NV recommends this vacation rental

  The last minute rates sold us into it. We had a great time. Excellent location. Very nice property with pools/spa and entertainment. We loved the stay. We wish the resort was more accomodating to wheelchairs, but we did not ask in advance, our fault for that. Overall a nice, quiet, well located unit. We would go back if we found the same great deal in the future. Recommend it.
