Barbara McLain Properties

Very helpful in the process of securing the rental and signing the lease. We were able to get everything done while overseas on vacation. Very willing to work with us and super friendly.

Had a wonderful experience with Khira! She's the best and so is Jessica! Very nice, respectful, and great follow up. Our tenants are great thank you!

My husband and I have worked with Lisa Fore for eight years and she has gone beyond the call of duty to help us! We were needing assistance managing my husband's father's rental properties and she did a fantastic job helping us. Once we flew down and called her last minute on a Friday to look at some property on Saturday. She rearranged her schedule to show us some properties.

We ended up purchasing two properties she showed us. She has a wealth of knowledge about real estate in San Diego County. We have been so impressed with her work ethic and she is so fun to work with. I highly recommend McLain Properties for any real estate needs you may have!

Every experience I've had with McLain Properties (which has been many) has been positive! I highly recommend them as they are professional, responsive, easy to work with and just overall a pleasure to work with! I am a 100% satisfied customer and will continue to use McLain Properties for any property management/rental needs I have in the future!

I have the most excellent experience with Mclain properties and with Dorothy Pinney in particular. they were very professional, helpful. kind and help me rent my property as they promise. always with a smile. i felt they were really knowledgeable and caring. i felt we were in a real partnership. i recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever.

Patricia Camille has been consistently helpful and communicative with us. When we signed our initial lease, submitted a request, and wanted to renewed our lease for another year, Patricia was always quick to respond and thorough. We know that we can trust her with any of our needs. Thank you!

My contact at &McLain Properties was Dorothy and she is great. Always gets back to me when I have a question. She performed her magic on designing and decorating my unit. She arranged the furnishings to completely take advantage of the gorgeous ocean views! The vacancy rate went down quickly after she did her magic. Thanks Dorothy!

Jessica was super helpful throughout the whole rental process. We've had a couple maintenance issues with the home but they have always been addressed immediately. in both cases the same day.

Jessica at McLain Properties was so amazing during our whole experience renting with McLain Properties. From the application all the way to our lease end, everything was great. Any time I needed help with submitting rent payments, asking for maintenance or just any general question, Jessica was very quick and efficient and just overall very helpful. I wish all rental places had people like Jessica.

Do not do business with McLain Properties! We booked a rental unit with them for a location on the beach at 1205B S. Pacific St, Oceanside. They did not tell us in advance that there would be major construction directly in front of our house. For one week, every day, there were huge construction machines which restricted access to our yard and made tons of noise.

After our stay, we asked for a partial refund or discount, and we were offered only 1 future night's worth of credit (for 7 days of disruption). When we asked for a cash refund instead, they refused. This is not a fair way to do business and I can't recommend booking with them.

Rented one of the properties that they manage in Carlsbad for several years. Had issues with kitchen facet twice in two years which caused very small amount of water damage under kitchen sink. The first time this happened through no fault of mine it was repaired at no charge to me. The second time this happened, same issue with less water damage under sink.

The had a remediation company come out to do 5300.00 in repairs and conveniently kept my security deposit plus 2100.00 additional charges as it was the last month of my lease. Same issue but different result and a general statement that I failed to uphold terms of lease.

They have been managing my property for over 6 years after my previous agency failed me which cost me over $20,000 in rental income and repair costs. It was truly terrible. Since having them, I have been experiencing only regular ownership worries but they are so quick to address them and help me find solutions. Although I'm the owner, there were times that they advised me of solutions that ended up costing me but in return, we were able to keep our tenants happy.

I tell Jessica and the rest of the team that my priority is to make tenants feel the way I would want to feel if I were renting, and since then, things have gone so wonderfully. Again, this team answers my questions, even ones that I feel could be silly, with respect and efficiency. I could not be more happier with a property management company. I expect to have them manage my other property when it's ready to go in the market.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Many issues with our rental property including no heat for over a month with no action by McLain. I like our unit but working with them is extremely difficult/not possible because of their inaction.

I am a vendor with McLain and have turned into a Tenant for the last two years, so I get to see multiple sides of the company and work with multiple staff members. They are always responsive and assist with both my business coordination for maintenance and any needed maintenance on the home. Would recommend to all Owners, Vendors and Tenants!

We have a long term rental with McLain and they're great to work with. The application process is extensive, thorough, and at first seemed a little overwhelming, but now I see it was 100% worth it. Their attention to detail extends from the application process, to their maintenance requests, and their communication with us as tenants. We've had a few small maintenance requests and they've been handled quickly and easily.

We've been working with Isamar and Jess, both have been responsive, have followed up after an issue has been fixed to make sure we're satisfied, and are just nice people. I would definitely recommend McLain.

We have been renting one of their beach houses a week out of the year for the last 10 years. Always a great experience. They even work with us on early check in and we super appreciate that! Always clean, and they are fair with charges after vacating.

What a wonderful experience! McClain properties found me a beautiful apartment overlooking the shoreline. The unit was very clean and comfortable. The location was in the heart of the town with easy walking distances to shops and restaurants. The sunsets were magnificent and the gentle ocean breeze a delight I stayed a month and found that the staff and managers at McClain properties are especially wonderful professional and helpful. Looking forward to a return

I'm thrilled to give this place an awesome review.and than I hesitate as it'll get booked all the time. This beach bungalow is amazing. Literally right on the strand - west of the pier, so the beach is sand (no rocks). Sure it's not updated to the most recent trending decor, but who cares? This place is all about location and the awesome beautiful picture window.

What is so cool about the window is it's like a two-way mirror(like in a questioning room). No one can see in. We sat in those comfy recliners and people would walk by, look into the window (adjust their clothes or fix their hair in the reflection) and never see us. At night, all they saw (per my husband going out and looking in) was the Apple from our MacBooks, floating in the air.

The kitchen is the best stocked of any of the 7 VRBOs I've ever rented. From a poached egg gadget for cooking to two coffee makers (pot and Keurig) to lots of plates, glasses, and knives. Pretty amazing. The bdrm and bathroom are clean and very functional. This place is all about enjoying the view, multiple walks on the beach, and location! The best!

There is gated parking in the back (could get three cars in, definitely two easily). Check-in was a synch - codes for the padlocked gate and combination door entry. We never saw a soul from the management company. And, there really are lot of beach "toys": umbrellas, lounge chairs, boogie boards, and fishing poles. There is also a grill, beach towels, and extra blankets and pillows.

The living room futons are huge and comfy. And, the wi-fi was like clockwork. We never moved our car for five days. We walked to the Thursday morning Farmer's Market (.6 miles) and then the Thursday evening Street Market (.6 miles). A local market is just.3 miles away. I can't recommend this place highly enough if a beach bungalow comfy right on the beach place is where you want to stay. We'll be back, for sure. Oh, and the management company/Dorothy made us feel important, checked in on us by text, and made sure more than all our needs were met.
