Renting Our Condo Can Be Rather Complicated

Renting our condo by ourselves is not as simple as it seems.  Often-times it requires several emails back and forth, special arrangements with Koni, who cleans the condo for us, FedEx-ing rental agreements and keys overnight, buying cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, fixing things that break down and replacing things that have a way of "disappearing". 

We want everyone to enjoy their stay in Oceanside!  We want them to enjoy it so much that they tell their friends so we really do try to accommodate everyone.  With that thought in mind, I thought maybe I could answer a few questions here on the blog.

1. "Why do we have to be out by noon?"The reason we ask you to check out by noon is so Koni can have time to wash all the towels and linens, remake all the beds and clean the condo from top to bottom before the next guests arrive at 3:00 PM.  And that answers the next question which is, "Why can't we arrive before 3:00 PM. 

2.  "Why can't be BBQ on the patio?"  It is the association policy that there be no BBQing on the patio.  Grills are provided throughout the complex so make good use of them.  Leave them looking nice for the next guests. 

3.  "Do you have beach toys, boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs, etc?"  We do but we do not have them available for guest use.  As I mentioned earlier, things have a way of "disappearing".  We wish we could let you use them, we really do. 

4. " How do we know you are not a scammer, this sounds like too good of a deal?"  I get asked this all the time and I really do not know how to answer it.  I understand your concern, I really do so, if a walk through with a family member or friend who lives in the area would help, we are happy to have Koni come do that for you, as we actually live in another state.  But, Koni has a family and a life so please understand that it will cost $15 to arrange to have her do that.  Also, it would help to have those of you who have stayed with us before, post your comments in the comments section.  If you are willing to be a 'reference' we could probably work out a small discount for your next stay. 

If you are thinking about staying in Oceanside this summer send us an email quick as many dates are already gone and others are being reserved everyday!
