Charming, two-story house in the heart of downtown, walking distance to beaches, pier, harbor, restaurants, shopping, bars, etc. The house was built in 1925, recently renovated with mid-century decor. Features 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with kids loft and enclosed backyard. The house is great for families.
This recently renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage is a part of Oceanside's history. Built in 1925, the house has a retro feel with mid-century decor and unique charm. There is not another house like it!
Enjoy all the comforts of home, including a stocked kitchen and open backyard with a patio, barbeque, fire pit, and private, enclosed space to bring the family pet! The backyard provides a great space for entertaining and hanging out. This property is ideal for small groups or families looking to enjoy local sights and activities with a comfortable home to relax in after long days in the sun.
The property is located in the heart of downtown. The location is ideal for those traveling without a car. We are walking distance to shopping, movies, restaurants, bike trails, parks, beaches, pier, harbor, library, cafes, bars, clubs, etc, all within blocks. Oceanside is a small, lively city with great local events like the weekly Sunset Market, farmer's markets, concerts, monthly Art Walk, parades, and triathlons. It is also centrally located for quick access to Legoland, Disneyland, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, etc.
The house has a keypad code entry so we don't have to worry about exchanging keys. Once the rental agreement is received and the house is reserved, we will send the door code. Upon accessing the property, you'll have the house/yard to yourself! We live close by, so if there are any questions or concerns, we are right around the corner.
There is so much going on in Oceanside! We LOVE the weekly Sunset Markets (Thursday evenings) and Farmer's Markets (Thursday morning). Oceanside is eclectic and diverse with a lot of history, and the many activities going on around Oceanside represent that diversity. From plays at local theaters, parades, outdoor concerts, movie theaters, variety of local craft breweries, and excellent dining, there is something for everyone here. And of course, you can't beat being able to walk to the beach! Want good people watching? Throw on your tennis shoes and walk the pier at dusk, grab a milkshake at Ruby's diner, and check out the scene.
We are located just a few blocks from the Oceanside transit center, with train service to the north/south/east (Old Town, Gaslamp/downtown, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Los Angeles, etc). We are also right off the I-5 and I-76, so theme parks like Legoland, Disneyland, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, etc, are a quick drive away.
The master bedroom is on the bottom floor with attached full bath. Two bedrooms are located on the second story, one with a full bed, vanity, and dresser. The other bedroom is ideal for kids, with two twin trundle beds, so it sleeps up to four people (trundle can be raised to make a full size bed, if desired). The third bedroom also includes dresser, vanity, and small balcony with view of the ocean. The second full bathroom is located on the second story. It was added to the home a few years ago, so it includes new floors, fixtures, and plumbing. Living room couch pulls out easily into a full bed. Kids loft includes two fold out futon cushions to sleep extra people. Great for kids.

We enjoyed our stay. The host was very easy to get in touch with, house was great for catching with friends: cooking/grilling, hanging out by the firepit. Quirky and clean. Great location, easy to walk everywhere. Would stay there again!

We loved this place and will definitely be back! Pete was quick to answer a question we had. Lots of comfortable beds and plenty of space to spread out with our group of six adults. The back yard was fabulous, and the location was perfect for us.

We had so much fun at this vacation house. A 15 minute walk to the beach. About 15 minutes to the train too. We did not even have a car. If we needed a car (rarely) we took a lyft. There is a Neighborhood Walmart within 15 min walking distance, and we did most of our grocery shopping there. It is in the midst of town, so there are tons of shops very close. Great ice cream. We had tweens staying with us and they took over the loft. I heard them talking to their dad about what a great room it was for kids. There are three beach cruisers, one with flat tires, but the other two we took out every day. There is a beautiful flat bike ride along the beach, which I did many times. The kitchen is well stocked, easy to use, and very fun with the garage door that opens out to the patio. We enjoyed fires in the fire pit. We cooked out on the grill. We even enjoyed the "atmospheric river" as it was exciting to see the rough ocean from the pier. The library is beautiful and a block away. We caught the weekly farmers market in front of the library. The property manager is very friendly and responsive. I recommend this place.

The house was fantastic!! It was very clean and spacious. The “garage window” that opens in the kitchen is one of the coolest features we have ever seen in a rental unit. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were a great size. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling with friends and family as it gives you lots of space, it is close to lots of great businesses (bars and restaurants), and it is a pretty short walk to the beach (less than 15 minutes).

This fab house is perfectly located to enjoy the beach, shopping, fun dining and walking to the movies. Wonderful surfing, walking, thrift stores and a used book store are all close by. AND, best of all, I walked to the train station to take a train to Los Angels to visit art museums. There is also and wonderful Oceanside Art Museum. The kitchen was the best part of the house. It is big enough for all to help with food prep and the AMAZINGLY fun roll up window brought the outdoors in making food prep a spectator sport for those not on KP duty! Two thumbs up with a big smile! : )
