180°OceanViews, Private BeachHouse on Strand! LGDeck,F-pit,BBQ, AC, ... Sleeps8.

Location. So close to beach.

Mary is amazing and very helpful. We had a greater time. Propery had everything we needed and spacious. We will definitely be back.

There's something truly special about this Oceanside beach cottage-it manages to be both delightfully funky and absolutely perfect for a family getaway. From the moment we arrived, it felt less like a rental and more like a home that had been thoughtful prepared for making memories.Every detail was covered. The upper deck with incredible ocean views was amazing. The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation-bikes, beach gear and an incredible assortment of toys, games and even speakers to keep everyone entertained. As Oceanside is known for its collections of painted rocks, there was art supplies for rock painting, and we were able to add ours to the collection. So fun!Despite its eclectic charm, comfort was never sacrificed. The beds were cozy, the living spaces inviting, and there was a relaxed, easygoing vibe throughout that made it effortless to unwind.If you are looking for a place that's a little unique, incredibly well equipped, and perfectly suited for family time, this cottage is a gem. We will definitely come back!

This beach house was perfect! We had some adults coming together for a weekend away and a race. The house was in the PERFECT location. It is right on the beach so you can walk to the pier or to the harbor in about 10-15 minutes. We were all so happy how central it was to anything we needed. The house itself was clean and neat. It had EVERYTHING we needed. Toaster oven to reheat pizza, Saran wrap to cover left overs, blankets (for those who run cold) for the couch etc. We watched each sunset on the rooftop balcony space where 6 adults fit with room for more. We used the bikes available from the house to cruise the beach areas. We used a boogie board to play in the surf... This place had everything!! Parking was not an issue and fit the cars nicely. The neighbors were quiet and you can just listen to the waves crashing all day and night. We will absolutely be coming back to this property next year! the house was also very centrally located to all sorts of food. We went to the grocery store on foot, rooftop bars, restaurants... All within about a 15 minute walk. It's just absolutely perfect if your looking for a relaxing place, on the water with all the necessary amenities.The host was also very helpful and sweet. She was quick to respond and helpful with some great local restaurant ideas. It was an amazing weekend and the beach house was the place to be.

Amazing property! We had our 3 kids and our dog and it was perfect!

This place was perfect! The location is outstanding! Two bedrooms plus loft area to sleep extra guests. Rooftop patio has amazing views of the water. Hostess is very communicative and friendly. Place was immaculately clean. Don’t have enough superlatives to say about this place. Will stay here again!!!

It was a wonderful experience, very nice place , I very pleased with the place and location, will rent again

Absolutely the BEST! Excellent location and the home was exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you for being an amazing host!!

Beautiful view of the ocean. Great balcony for hosting and relaxing. We made great fires up there!! The proximity to everything was great! So much to see and do in Oceanside!!

Fantastic location. Comfortable house setup. Close walking distances to coffee, small market, dining. I'm coming back!

Mary's Beach House is ideally located one block from the sand. It was very easy to walk everywhere - the pier, the harbor, and downtown for the Night Market. Mary timely responded to our questions and in fact sent new beach chairs and a case of water for our use. She informed us of dog-friendly restaurants as well. The rooftop deck is great - for coffee in the morning and happy hour in the evening. The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved our first stay in Oceanside - it's an awesome little beach community. We hope to come back one day.

Great location! wonderful rooftop patio area for great views, family meals/barbeque, relaxation. Parking on site for 3 vehicles which is so hard to find in this great location. Plenty of room for all, plenty of supplies including all you need for the beach. Communication with owner is fast and pleasant. We are a repeat renter and this is by far one of our favorites. Pet friendly, close to beach access while having privacy, security, safety.

Beach for 3 days2 minutes to beachOff the main drag so no traffic or noisePlenty of beach equipment Family friendly

The absolute BEST vacation rental. Plenty of beach, parking, everything you could ask for...Boys went to the beach at 8 am, set up awnings and chairs, girls brought coolers down in wagon. Looooong days on the beach.Mary May was fantastic. Responded quickly and always friendly and helpful. We could not have had a better trip O'side rocks!

We had a fantastic stay at this beachfront home! The location is unbeatable—just steps from the sand—and it delivers a peaceful, toes-in-the-sand beach experience. The upper deck was a highlight, where you can watch waves break and feel the ocean breeze. Whether it was coffee, drinks, or games by the fire pit, it was a great spot to relax and see the view.The home is clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. From kitchen essentials to beach gear, bikes, and games, all we needed was there. We spent most of our time upstairs, set for gathering. It has a BBQ, full bathroom, mini fridge, and space to relax, eat, and enjoy the view.We loved the location off The Strand. While The Strand is lively with foot, bike, and vehicle traffic, this home is tucked 50 feet back in a quiet alley, offering privacy and a buffer from activity—ideal for us.The beach proximity is perfect—you can grab the cart, umbrellas, and chairs and be set up in under two minutes. We picked our spot daily, set up, and could come and go. We chose a spot in view of the deck to watch it from the house.The downstairs space worked great for sleeping, getting ready, and prepping meals. The layout supports a beach-centered vacation—quiet downstairs, fun and views upstairs.Check-in was easy, and the owner was great with communication. It’s clear they made the home welcoming and guest-ready.We’re eager to return and recommend this property for a laid-back, beachfront getaway with home comforts.

Easy to access. Very clean for the most part, although we had to deal with annoying drain flies in the kitchen and common area, and there was a roach in the bathtub. Although a bit cluttered, we enjoyed all of the beach gear, Games, and extra amenities. Ample parking (rare for beach homes). Plenty of linens and towels, and free washer and dryer on sight so you can pack light!s

We have stayed at many properties, both in and outside of the United States, and this was the best experience with the owner going out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed and more. Regrettably the weather did not cooperate or it would have been the perfect trip. But that even demonstrated the forethought in having the umbrellas, chairs -- just everything we needed to be able to enjoy the soccer games despite some rain and cold weather. The house is nicely decorated, with a well stocked kitchen, just a few minutes walk from the water. The highlight for us was the roof patio, with a great fire pit and superb views. The roof patio and sitting room on the second floor was a great place for our granddaughter and her teammates to talk and play games.

It started with communication with Mary May. She is very responsive to concerns and questions. I felt that she wanted our stay to be the best possible, ever. If felt great to have that kind of attention, and then the house was in perfect position to use the beach. The upper deck was perfect for the afternoons when it warmed up. Beds were extremely comfortable.I would definitely go back to this place in the future.

Mary and the property are amazing. Everything is a described. Rooftop makes this place beyond 5 star! We so appreciated Mary and her immediate communication. We have already booked to return.

My husband and I stayed at Mary's in March to celebrate his birthday. Being from SoCal originally, we wanted a place where we could entertain our relatives and friends but also be near all the action of Oceanside. The area is very walkable and you can easily do a lot without a vehicle. The beach is steps away but the great thing about Mary's place is, you are not right on the Strand but just a street over. I would definitely stay again.

Great house and great communication with the owner. We had such a great time!

The location is amazing but I was equally impressed by the communication from the host and the attention to detail that made the house feel like home. Perfect distance between LA and San Diego to enjoy both areas.Thank you Mary!

Property was amazing and looked exactly like the photos. It felt like a home away from home. Mary the owner was amazing and very accommodating. The rooftop was my favorite place with the fire pit and sunset. Will definitely be back!

The beach house was absolutely lovely. Had beautiful views of the beach from the large deck on 2nd level. So relaxing and peaceful at night, just gathering around the fire pit talking. Everyone had a great time ! The owner was very accommodating and nice....good communication. i would definitely rent again.

…and hope to have more!!

The property manager couldn't have been more accommodating, helpful and easy to work with. The upstairs deck is the star of this property, many evenings outside with a nice fire, dinner prepared on the grill and the sounds of the ocean. For those sensitive to scented products, I advise you let the manager know in advance/request various candles/plug in fresheners be removed. ( I booked very last minute and so the manager had no opportunity to do so) Overall, it is lovely space, easy access to the beach (though limited views from the deck), and I will definitely be returning.

Good

This is an amazing house with a view that will take your breath away. The host is also very great and went out of her way to make us comfortable and welcomed.

Beach house was extremely dirty. Some real serious issues, house needs a deep cleaning. Location was perfect but we will not be returning.
