Instant Beach Access -- Just Steps Away!

Absolutely beautiful getaway! Unfortunately, did not get to enjoy the perfect experience. Our moving of home of 45 yrs kept us from enjoying the special calm/quiet. No Manager/only dealt with owner, perfect. Wish we could come back in future and enjoy fully, with only peace and calm and relaxation! Very gracious owners....

This was our 4th year staying at this magical place! Each year I rave about how perfect this condo is. I’ve said this before, but outside of stocking the fridge with food, everything you need is there! It’s like staying at your favorite aunt and uncle’s beach house! The location is perfect… Literally on the beach! The other condo owners are also friendly and welcoming! Oceanside is amazing! Restaurants, coffee, shops, sweet treats, activities, the amazing farmers market, and the even more amazing sunset market! It’s been such a blessing watching my kids grow up spending their summer at Barb and Jim’s condo! If I could give it more than five stars I would! You won’t regret staying here!

This is the best rental on the CA coast. The condo has a perfect view of the surf from a secluded patio and you are literally steps from the beach. The kitchen has been remodeled and the bedrooms are roomy and comfy. Truly a condo for the total beach experience.

We stayed at this perfect townhouse 2 years ago for the month of July and I said to myself, “ how am I ever gonna beat this?” in regard to vacationing with my family. Last year we decided to spend the time in Europe and immediately knew we had made a mistake. We squeezed in a quick two week trip to Oceanside last year after returning from Europe and just knew we needed to be there again. Thankfully Barb and Jim’s condo was available this July! It did not disappoint! The location literally steps to the sand is enough to set the tone but what makes this place more special is the company of all of the other owners who have become friends now. Whether it’s coffee and conversation as the sun rises, wine and amazing views as the sun sets, all of the kids playing “night games“, trips for ice cream or to the movies, We’re just reaching out for that odd item you need on a moments notice… Everyone who resides in the complex bends over backwards to make you feel like you are home. I’ve lost count of the number of times my daughters have asked me “Daddy, can we buy this?” But that right there tells you that the whole family feels the same way about Barb and Jim’s condo. It feels like a home away from home. Definitely five stars and we will DEFINITELY be back again and again!!

Spacious condo with fabulous beach and sunset views Everyting you might need and more in an updated and well laid out 2 floor condo. Walking the Strand is a pleasure and coffee shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Excellent!

Stayed month of February. Would definitely stay again. Wonderful town with a great walkable strand. Would definitely return and recommend!

Great place to stay. Easy easy easy. Waves all day.

Wonderfully kept up and modern and clean. Super well-stocked with cookware, pantry, bathroom supplies, beach gear, well-stocked everything! The owners apparently use this home too, so you know it is nice. Owner and property maintenance person were *very* easy to reach and very responsive. Great location to walk to the pier and pier stands, downtown restaurants and shops, and to the harbor. Great for biking along the beach strand. You will hardly ever use your car. (But the unit comes with two good indoor parking spots.) We would highly recommend. Only on caveat: there are LOTS of stairs. Two flights from the beach up to the unit, and then one more flight inside the unit up to the bedrooms. It was super challenging hauling a stroller and/or playpen and/or beach gear. There are no bike racks on the property, so we locked the bikes up next to the cars, which wasn't super convenient.

Excellent property. Very well appointed and stocked. Fantastic direct ocean views.Easy access to everything in Oceanside Property owners are very accommodating and very pleasant. We stayed 4 months and were very pleased Barry and Pete

Let me start by saying that as my kids (10 and 8) get older we try to take them on better and better vacations. I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to top a month’s stay in this amazing property! First of all, this feels like “HOME” and not your typical cramped vacation rental. It is so spacious and so well appointed. Forgot soy sauce? It’s there! Forgot garlic salt? It’s there too! Forgot beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs, olive oil, popcorn, beach chairs or umbrella, coffee, Sriracha, aloe? It’s all there! It feels like you’re visiting your parents or favorite aunt and uncle’s house……just so welcoming and “familiar”. Speaking of your favorite relatives….all of the other condo owners and long term renters welcomed us with open arms. Dick and Carol, Jim Doreen and Andi, Brian and Lisa Gabriela and Garrett, Stephanie and Tyler…. just to name a few. EVERYONE treated us like family. We shared dinners (and breakfasts) together, had drinks as the sun set and into the night, we hung out at the beach and went for ice cream together, we even hosted a kids movie night and sleep over. It was SO AMAZING! We made friends for life and were told we are now REQUIRED to rent every July! Now the location. Just WOW! Have you ever gotten to the beach only to find out that you left your towel or sunscreen or hat or drinks or snacks or your child’s favorite toy or goggles at your hotel/rental only to have to resign yourself to go without the rest of the day because you aren’t going all the way back to get it? NOT HERE! Literally walk back across the beach, of the steps and into the condo. Retrieve the forgotten item and head back to the beach… Total travel time: one minute twelve seconds. LOL! You are LITERALLY on the beach. not only are you on the beach but you are within a short and enjoyable walk or bike ride of all of the amazing restaurants, bars, convenience stores, ice cream, coffee shops, yoga studios and shopping that Oceanside offers! In the entire month we literally drove the car to target twice and to Disney….we walked, biked, scootered EVERYWHERE else. Add to all this the fact that you have the most incredible beach views from either of the two decks….. coffee watching the waves roll onto the beach in the morning and a cold drink or glass of wine watching the AMAZING sunsets at night ……It just couldn’t be more perfect. Thank you Barbara and Jim for letting our family share in the absolute magic of your home!
