About this property

Quaint Beach Cottage

7 min walk, 1/2 mile to Oceanside Beach. The perfect base for exploring all that Southern California has to offer. Full kitchen and bedroom with new king size bed. This back/guest house is completely private and is fully fenced. Very bright and airy yet private and cozy! Two private patio/outdoor spaces with comfortable seating. Great area for walking, exploring or just relaxing and reading a book. Spend your days visiting the beach or nearby theme parks and your nights sampling the offerings of Oceanside's many microbreweries, gastro-pubs and trendy restaurants.

Pets are not allowed to be left unattended outside in the yard.

Beach getaway

The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. You have to realize that it is a cottage, abit rustic and vintage. The tv system is difficult, the bed is firm, the towels are nice, the garage is very handy considering the parking issues in the area. The fence was nice for our dog.

Cute Cottage in a Great Location

Perfect location in Oceanside that was close enough to walk to the beach but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Everything you need is provided and the bed is comfortable. Would highly recommend for a couple or small family.

Oceanside Charm

The small bungalow was in a nice walking neighborhood. Not far from beach. You will need a car for groceries as the small one in walking distance shut down. The host is very responsive to any questions. Book it you won’t be disappointed

Enjoyable accommodations

Nice 1 bedroom home with full kitchen and everything needed for our week in Oceanside. It's close to town and within walking distance to the pier area. Oceanside is lovely and there's lots to do in the surrounding area. Michael, the landlord, was easy to reach when needed. But everything was in working order. I also love that it was pet friendly.

Perfect Location

Coming from the AZ heat being able to open the french doors off the bedroom to get a cool breeze was a joy for us. The cottage being with walking distance to the beach, close to bike paths and local restaurants plus farmers markets was also a plus for us. Had a wonderful time and would stay here again.

close walking distance for beach lovers

We enjoyed our time in Oceanside and visited some restaurants. Pier is a short distance from our rental and a nice walk. Bed was comfortable in our rental. The weather was quite cool when we visited so it cool in the rental. The kitchen had everything we needed and was clean. Our host was very good and responsive to any questions we had.

Perfect for two

The house was clean and comfortable. Parking on the street was required because our low rental car could not make it up the steep driveway into the garage. This was problematic for us and it would be the only reason we wouldn't stay there again

Great stay - dog friendly & close to beach

We had a great stay! Michael was very responsive. We had everything we needed for an 8 night stay - cooking almost every night. The yard is fully inclosed which was great for the dog and also has nice table and sitting area outside. The shared fence neighbors were very friendly as well. Walkable distance to the beach.

Great little cottage for a vacation with the dog

I stayed at this beach cottage for two weeks with my dog and we had a very relaxing time. It had everything we needed, totally fenced patios, garage, laundry machines, even some cleaning items. The neighborhood has shaded trees and greenery, and is fairly quiet but still close to everything in Oceanside. It’s wonderful for long-term stays. The host was very communicative and clear about both check-in and check-out. The only reason it lost a star was because in the bathroom and on all the windows there were mold speckles that looked like they’d had some time to grow. Otherwise, our stay was perfect!

Stayed for a month!

We stayed in Michaels cottage for a month while our house was in escrow. This is the cutest little beach house with a secure fence for our dogs. Pretty patios and landscaping. Lots of fans & AC to battle the heat wave. Hands down - most stocked kitchen of all my stays. This location is central to everything. We will recommend to friends who come to visit.

Oceanside cottage

Perfect cottage for what we needed! Clean and comfortable and my dogs enjoyed it too! The neighbors in the front house both weeks were super nice as well! Just minutes from my daughter and her family on base at Camp Pendleton. The garage was a life saver as evening parking is nearly non-existent in the neighborhood! Parking is not an issue in the daytime. Michael was proactive and responsive. Will definitely save for future trips!!

Perfect for two, simple, clean

Great place for two people or a single person looking for a simple place that is clean and close to the beach. The fenced in yard goes all around the house and is well maintained. Nice kitchen supplied with everything you need. Living area, good size bedroom and separate bathroom. Attached garage where you can park a small to mid-sized car, but we had a large, full-sized truck that did not fit. Due to that we had to park on the street which at times was challenging. The beach, restaurants and stores were within walking distance. Michael was very attentive and helpful. We would definitely recommend this property.
