"I rented the studio for my birthday weekend. I was greeted with wonderful friendly staff but Nicole the front office manager really stuck out and I see why she’s the manager. She made my stay more than comfortable accommodating and she was just overall amazing . The location was perfect nothing better honestly. I will continue to stay here moving forward for Oceanside. I will say bathrooms need a little updating but it’s not in the control of the staff obviously owners. "
