About this property

PRIVATE HOME ON THE BEACH - 3 BR./2.5 BA. - 5 STAR REVIEWS

Over the years, our guests have posted reviews of their stays, for which we are grateful. We think those reviews speak for themselves. The home has almost everything your family will need to enjoy your vacation on the beach. The patio, family room, master bedroom and deck share panoramic views of the ocean south to La Jolla and north to Camp Pendleton. The property is unique in that it has an open lot to the south, opening it up to the beach on two sides and bathing the interior with sunlight all day long.

The kitchen is fully equipped with an assortment of cooking tools. We have an array of spices provided along with coffee, soaps, and cleaning materials. There is a large cable/internet TV in the kitchen/family room, the master bedroom and second bedroom. We have two high speed WI-FI access points accessible throughout the house and on the deck.

The garage can accommodate 2 cars, it houses the ping pong table along with bikes, boogie boards, foam surfboards, and miscellaneous sand and beach toys

With the open lot to the south, the fully equipped kitchen and large family room enjoy panoramic views of the water while you are cooking, dining and relaxing. From the large deck, you can people watch or enjoy the waves and surfers, or the frequent visits from jumping (and sometimes surfing) dolphins. The beach is known for its good surf and you can use the surfboards or boogie boards provided. A small private sand area on the patio is perfect for small children who can play with the collection of sand toys provided. Next to the house is an area for horseshoe pits that also doubles as a bocce ball court or bean bag toss.

Access to the beach is just off the south side of the house, walk out the sliding doors down the slope to the vacant lot and you are on the beach. The patio has an extra large remote controlled awning for shade, and plenty of chaise lounges for sunning.

The Oceanside pier is just a mile's stroll up the beach. The revitalized downtown provides a large variety of craft beer venues, restaurants and a movie theater. The Oceanside harbor is a short distance past the pier and features more restaurants, water sports activity and sailing/fishing charters. Enjoy a ride to the pier and back on our beach cruisers, or take a stroll and enjoy the views.

Less than a block to the south is Buccaneer Park. It includes a tasty little food hut for lunch, snacks, and sometimes dinner. All of our guests are surprised at the menu and the food, it is quite good. The park also has a basketball court, swings, and slides for young children.

The San Diego Zoo, Wild Safari Animal Park, Lego Land, Gaslamp District of Downtown San Diego and Balboa Park with all its wonderful museums are just a 30 minute drive down the freeway. Horse racing at Del Mar racetrack is just 20 minutes south (the race season runs from mid-July to the first week of September). A little over an hour away you will find Disneyland, California Adventures, and Knott's Berry Farm. Bicycle trails for road and mountain bikes abound, and you will see riders passing in groups daily up and down the street.

A fantastic family vacation rental

This is an amazing property right on a beautiful beach! It truly had everything we needed for a wonderful family vacation. There was even a crib and high chair for our baby as well as fun sand toys and a private sand box for our 4 year old! Everything was clean and comfortable. The check in and check out process was very easy. The hosts were gracious enough to leave snacks and drinks for us during our stay and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could ask for. I can’t say enough great things about this property! Thank you Tony and Kim!

One of the best beach trips!

Our stay was awesome! One of the best beach trips we've had! Tony was upfront from the start with the expectations for his beachfront home. The location was perfect. We had beach all day long, just no sand which we all liked for a change. We set up down in front of the rocks each morning. We had a blast. We will definitely stay again Thank you Tony, we made wonderful memories on our trip

Great beach house

We enjoyed our stay at the beachfront house. The host was great at communicating with us. They welcomed us with snacks, water and drinks. The house was fully stocked and close proximity to downtown and the pier. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to vacation at the beach.

Amazing Family fun

Property is amazing! It's in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the ocean. The master bedroom could not be more peaceful! Comfortable bed; falling asleep and waking the the crashing waves below. We saw dolphins pods right from the bedroom. The property is as described. Tony was helpful and very quick to respond and accommodate. The home is a quick drive to Carlsbad where the restaurants are fantastic. Our family enjoyed eating, walking, shopping and taking photos there. If you want to relax this is the place to be.

We had a relaxing stay. The views were fantastic.

No surprises with the property. Exactly as described and pictured, except for the sandy beach. There was only river rock, so we couldn't walk the beach or squish our feet in the sand. We stayed about two blocks away last year, and it was the same thing. Tony was very welcoming. Even had out an assortment of candy,snacks,etc. on our arrival.

We didn’t want to leave!

This home was life-giving for our family. From the moment we sent the request to reserve it to coming home and going through photos, we were captured by how much Tony cares about his guest’s experience and how to support their joy. This—on top of how incredible this space is! Tony made sure we had everything at our fingertips—restaurant recommendations, tips about the house and thoughtful snacks and FRESH!-picked fruit and drinks. We were in awe! And while the view was one we never wanted to leave, the location was perfect that we were able to make day trips to San Diego, Disneyland and LA for a Dodgers game over the week we spent there. We could truly soak it all up. The kitchen was stocked perfectly—cooking was a joy. Falling asleep to waves in the primary bedroom was a dream. The double washer/dryer made prepping to come home a breeze—important when you don’t want to leave! We felt so grateful for this time and are thrilled to have spent the time here. Next time, we need to have the kids take surf lessons, as the access right outside the front porch is too good! If you’re looking for a true escape with your family or friends, we cannot recommend Tony and Kim’s place enough.

Stunning Views

Location and space were great. Property had plenty of water sport equipment to use, sandbox toys and bikes. Property was a little on the worn side, but nice. Upstairs lighting needed some attention. Shower handle was loose and came off. Kitchen had a mice issues. However, we would rent the property again.

Tony & Kim’s Beautiful Home

My wife, daughter, son in law and our four grandsons (3-13) had the privilege of staying a week in this beautiful home. The home was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. We come to So CA every year to pass our love of surfing to our family. Beautiful location and were still able to get other surf breaks very easily. One of our best weeks ever. Thanks Tony and family.

Great Place for the Family to Gather

Right at ocean’s edge. And within lots to see and do. Tony made us feel at home and was an incredibly responsible host. High winds caused the chimney cap to come loose and create a disturbing noise. I called the host who wasted no time coming over going to the roof and doing a proper repair. Glad to have had the opportunity to meet him.

Fantastic SoCal Getaway

My husband and I were looking to escape the winter cold and this place was perfect! The view and sunsets were indescribable and we were able to fall asleep to crashing waves every night. Tony was so helpful and responsive to any of our questions. The house was completely furnished with everything we needed and more (including the most wonderful oranges :)) While we didn’t take advantage of the surf, there was plenty of beach toys to keep a full family entertained. The location was close to everything yet private and we were able to be drinking wine on the deck within 45 minutes of leaving the San Diego airport. We can’t wait to bring back the entire family!

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed this beach house as our second home for over 20 years. With the kids now grown, we have decided to share the experience of an exceptional place to stay with others, so they can enjoy a relaxing get away in a very private and nicely maintained setting.

Why they chose this property

One of the only properties on the beach with an open lot beside it, the home provides an open air and uncrowded feeling with bright open morning and afternoon sun. It also has an easy sand path providing access directly to the beach, all the toys you could want, and a fully stocked kitchen. Great surf spot with all sorts of restaurants and shopping just a short distance away. There is a family park a block away for the kids that also houses a wonderfully quirky food hut that offers take-out breakfast (breakfast burritos are amazing) or sit down meals with an outdoor experience that will surprise you and have you coming back day after day.
