Quaint & Comfortable Cottage-short walk to Beach & Restaurants. Back patio & AC!

Charming Beach Cottage. You can hear the surf at night, outdoor shower for washing off after a day at the beach. Very short walk (even for kids) to the pier, local restaurants, movie theater and the train station. Great location to access all that San Diego and Orange County have to offer.

Why the Owner Chose Oceanside:
* We love Oceanside. It's a great location to travel both north and south to enjoy all that Southern California has to offer. Oceanside is a great beach community with so much to do on the beach, at the harbor and in town. Oceanside is a laid back beach community with great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and local shops. We love shopping the local farmer's market on Thursday mornings and Sunset market Thursday nights. We love riding the bikes along the strand and taking in the sunset at the harbor or the pier. We also enjoy taking the train down to San Diego for the day and enjoying the culture and entertainment.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
*Beach, Pier, and restaurants are all a very short walk away - even for kids! Private patio in back yard with outdoor seating, large gas grill, and ambiance lighting for a wonderful outdoor family dinner. A true beach house. Great for a family getaway!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Best Family Vacation!
The beach cottage was PERFECT for our spring break vacation for our family and dog! The walking proximity to downtown for the food and shops, the sand beach, and transit station to San Diego made this more than an ideal location! We only drove our car once the whole stay because we were able to use the bikes or walk everywhere. We never worried about our 17 and 13 year old "being bored".The cottage was fully stocked with plenty toiletries and the kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner in when the weather was too rainy for the beach. The linens were clean and two bathrooms were perfect for us. A pleasant surprise was a credenza full of board games and the sunning lawn chairs in the back with outside dining!We had a fantastic family vacation at a beach side location where we could all create core family memories! We would certainly stay here again!

Darling house, fantastic location
This property has been beautifully maintained. Lots of seating in living room and dining. Each bedroom had its own private bathroom and we loved that. Supplies were generous. This is a great property if you need to bring your dogs. A double fenced yard. House is tile throughout. We walked most every where. Five stars.

We had a wonderful week + at the cottage. As described, it was an easy walk to the beach, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I planned on cooking more - grill worked well - but we ended up eating a lot of amazing tacos at places that were within walking distance. The hosts were super responsive. All in all, we had a terrific time. Highly recommend.

Fabulous Experience
My wife and I couldn't have asked for more in a vacation home. The locations was perfect. The beach is just around the corner and most everything is within walking distance. In the two weeks we were there we only used our car three times. We either walked or rode the bikes that were provided. The fenced front and back yards provided safety for our two dogs. The furnishings inside were more than anticipated. Everything you need for cooking except for the food. The bathrooms were stocked with all necessities including shampoo, conditioner, soap and an abundance of towels. The air conditioner worked superbly as did the rest of the appliances. The back yard had a large covered table as well as several chairs and loungers. We hated leaving and hope to go back again next year. You can't go wrong with this reasonably priced rental.

Very cute and clean beach cottage
We loved staying here and will definitely be back! It was very clean and cozy. It was so nice have two bedrooms and two bathrooms - definitely a must with 4 adults. The location was great! It was a short walk to the beach as well as places to eat. We had a dog with us and it was so nice to have a fenced yard. It had everything we needed for the beach - boogie boards, chairs, towels, an umbrella and a wagon to cart everything in. There were 5 bikes for us to ride as well. Loved staying her and had a great time!

Spacious special small cottage
Lovely little seaside cottage, a block from the ocean. Fully renovated to modern standards while retaining the original charm. The open plan design and flow into the nice yard made for a great place to have a small gathering as well. And excellent communication with the owners, so all-in-all, a great experience

Nice Beach House
Great house in good location to restaurants, shopping, beach and pier. Park your car and walk to everything! Beds are comfortable, all furniture is nice and can comfortably accommodate 6 people. I liked that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Making it nice for 2 couples to have some privacy. Back yard is very private with large patio table and bbq. Neighborhood was quiet. It is located right by the train station but the trains do not blow their horns coming and going to the station. Located on a one way street made it nice to not have a lot of traffic going by. Kitchen well stocked and had everything we needed. Enjoyed everything about this house.
