Wave Crest Resort
3.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (116)
"Loved waking up with an ocean view. Back patio area to sit and enjoy the view and next to a park, so not looking into another building or window. Poll was heated, so able to swim in the morning, sit in the jacuzzi before checking out. The only surprise was the train track goes right by the beach front, so you could hear the crossing horns every couple hours throughout the night. I think you'd get used to that if staying longer."

Oceanfront home with private hot tub, stunning views, fireplace, patio & grill
7.8 out of 10, Good, (18)
"Everything was amazing. It is not quite what the pictures show but still great. Know that the back bedroom upstairs is accessed through the bathroom with the shower and closet. Have close people in the other room with you. The beds were wonderful, soft, and clean. There was a rug thrown in the closet that I believe went under the table. Some sand in the corners, and the floor is a little sandy, But to be expected. I would stay there again."

"Our nephew was getting married at the Ethereal Gardens in Escondido. So, we needed a location that could fit our family of 10-14 and be close to the venue. It was so nice to come back to the house to relax after events. The backyard was absolutely stunning with plenty of activities for all (ping pong, foosball, basketball ball court, min golf, bbq, pizza oven, fire pits + more!). They were available to help with anything we needed (they live on property) and were hospitable and friendly. As...

You Can't Get Any Closer to the Beach! Gorgeous 2BR 2BA OCEANFRONT!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (47)
"Loved the large balcony. Gorgeous views. Great location. We walked to the pier a lot. Was pleasantly surprised by the layout and size. The photos make it look smaller. The couches and the beds were very comfortable. We boogie boarded and played games on the beach when the tide was low. The layout of the master bedroom shower was unique. When it was high tide, the sound of the ocean was somewhat loud with the water rushing over the small rocks each time the water receded out…but we got used to...

"A few comments on the property to help others in the future: 1) the property is a bit dated - not all of the window cranks work, furniture has covers over it, upstairs carpet is stained in a few spots, sliding door screens fall off the track and don't slide well, 2) there are a number of family pictures and photos that some may find a bit weird, 3) the upstairs master bed is NOT a King but a Queen and needs to be replaced - it squeaks and is not comfortable, 4) the pool is shaded for more than...
