This is a truly amazing property and staying there was an unforgettable experience. It is right on the beach with outstanding ocean views from multiple rooms - kitchen, upstairs living room, downstairs living room, and master bedroom. Even on weekends with heavy activity at the beach, the home remains quiet and peaceful. You don't hear any outdoor noise at all. As far as the location, you couldn't ask for any better as it's right at the vehicle entrance to the Oceano dunes!

This place is amazing. Steps from the beach. A walk to various restaurants. Endless hours of beach entertainment. The house is pristine clean! The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed to have a family homemade meal. There are kids amenities like toys, a high chair, pool noodles. I am so happy with this place! Thank you Mauri!

This is our second time staying at Mauri's place and we LOVE it! It is beautiful and has lots of "extras" like boogie boards, a high chair, kids toys, and a place to have a bonfire on the beach! I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to stay in Oceano!
