About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Room with a view and right on the sand!

This beautiful home is just seconds away from the sand and offers seaside elegance, convenience, and safety. As a mom of four and an interior designer, the owner made every effort to bring serenity and functionality into the decor. She also created a desirable kitchen for the nights you wish to stay in and grill, which is located on the private balcony. If cooking isn't what you envision for a vacation, there are plenty of fun restaurants, bars, and breweries within walking distance. Kids getting antsy for some beach time? There are plenty of beach toys, towels and boogie boards. Parents can keep a watchful eye on them from the balcony. It is the perfect vacation - From the front door, your feet will get sandy in 30 seconds!

Perfect Getaway
We had a lovely stay. Mindy was great to work with and she was quick to respond to our questions. The condo was located right across from the beach (small one way road to cross). It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked, making us feel like we were in our own home. It was perfect for our stay. We will definitely stay again. Thanks Mindy, we had a fun time!

Oceanside Dream
Amazing location. Spacious and clean. Very welcoming and responsive to questions. We loved staying right across the street from the sand and the waves. One of our highlights was visiting the Thursday sunset market, which happens every week and is within walking distance from the property.

Fabulous Family Getaway!
Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect for our family! With all the conveniences of home, we were able to enjoy our time together! This vacation destination has it all: location, views, sunsets, a pier and harbor and delicious restaurants all within walking distance! We look forward to creating more memories in the future!

Great Condo
We loved our time at the condo. The place is very well taken care of and you can not beat the location. Wish there was a shower in the 3rd bathroom, but we knew about it before we went. We have stayed at many places in Oceanside and this was by far the best stocked for the vacationer. The only con I can come up with is needing a door on the masterbath. Otherwise, a super place and super people to work with.

This is a great property with an excellent location between the harbor and the pier as well as being close to many restaurants. It was very well appointed with an amazing kitchen that was well stocked. It was very private and very quiet. Mindy was an excellent host and very easy to communicate with.

Beautiful spot on the beach
This was our second year in a row staying at Mindys. We love the location and close proximity to the beach and pier. The house is beautiful and comfortable, perfect for our yearly week at the beach. We were able to walk to local restaurants and coffee shops, and check out the murals and architecture in the growing town of Oceanside! We hope to make it a yearly tradition and continue to enjoy the amazing views from the house.

We love our summer time in Oceanside!! Wish we didn’t have to head home. New attraction this time was the Oceanside Rock Garden at the traffic circle on Surfrider and The Strand. We spent time making a contribution and loved it! Mindy and Bob’s place has the best views and we love it!!!

This is the second time that my wife and I stayed at the property and being across the street from the ocean is fantastic. Every night we had dinner on the balcony looking out at ocean and beautiful sunsets. In fact, we have already booked it for next year. The host Mindy is wonderful to work with.

Enjoy the Best of So Cal's Beaches in Style
My husband and I had a wonderful two weeks in this condo. The location couldn't be better--just across the street from a beautiful beach, a short walk to the pier and close to the marina. The condo is spacious, beautifully decorated and has a lovely deck that lets you enjoy the spectacular view. The owners were gracious, helpful and even got us a reservation at a very good restaurant on Valentine's evening!

Very clean and unique property. Very homey. Comfortable beds. Any concerns we had were attended to immediately. Right on the beach. Great views from patio. Very centrally located to food access, beach activities and golf courses. Would definitely stay here again. The property owner was delightful to work with.

Wonderful home and excellent location
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home. The furnishings are top notch and very comfortable and the covered, gated parking was very convenient. The beach is perfect for walking and I was amazed to see all the sparkling gold in the sand. We were very pleased to be so close to the sand and ocean. At the end of the day, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching surfers and breathtaking sunsets. Thank you so much for letting us share your home and making us feel welcomed!

STOP! This is exactly what you are looking for!
While pictures may paint thousand words, pictures and thousands of words here are not enough to capture the perfection of this home, its location, or the care and communication of the owner. With so much to do and much of it within walking g distance, my family and I encourage you to explore the shops, take in the tastes of the local restaurants (The Flying Pig, The Local Tap House, Johnny Manana’s, Angelo’s, and Swami’s some of my favorites), enjoy walks along the beach at all hours, take in the pier and some fishing off it (no license required $8 an hour pole rental), the marina is a short distance away (boat, wave runner, and kayak rentals) with more dinning options, and be sure not to mush Thursday’s farmers market. I could go on and on, but hey, just book a week and check it out for yourself.

Great Place on the Beach
This house is amazing, two levels with great views from the deck and you walk out the gated community across the Strand (road that runs along the beach) and you are on the sand. We have little kids (3.5 year old and 6 month twins) and this was great didn't need to pack a bunch of stuff because you could walk back to the house anytime very easily. The house itself had everything you needed great kitchen, plenty of bedrooms, beach toys, body boards, etc. The house is great, but what I think sets this apart is the owners they were amazing. Very quick to respond to all requests, amazing to deal with and just made the trip very easy. They say customer service is a lost art but not at this place, I can't say enough good things about the owners (Mindy and Bob). I am very apprehensive about some of these properties when looking online but this experience was better than I could have imagined my family is ready to go back.

Wonderful beach condo!
We spent a wonderful week in this charming condo in a small gated community right on the beach. 2 bedrooms with king-sized beds and adjoining bathrooms are downstairs, the kitchen-living area and small additional room with a queen sleeper sofa are upstairs. This was plenty of room for our family of 2 adults with four young adult children. There is a large sliding glass door that opens from the living room onto a balcony overlooking the beach. We regularly ate breakfast and lunch under the large umbrella on the balcony and enjoyed the ocean air by leaving the sliding glass door open when we were inside. The owners were wonderful to deal with with! They were very welcoming and responsive to a quick phone call with questions. They provided plenty of beach gear including 4 boogie boards, a shade structure and beach chairs. In the evenings we enjoyed watching a variety of movies from the DVD collection in the condo. We really enjoyed our beach week and can't wait to return!

Great First Time Experience with VRBO
Our family of 6 (four kids between 16 and 7) could not have been happier with our week in Oceanside. The weather was perfect for beach time. You are literally steps away from a great day at the beach, and if you forgot something or need another cold one for the cooler simply turn around and 30 seconds later you are home. As others have said the location of this condo is on a less crowded stretch of beach about halfway between the pier and harbor, but a short walk to either location for restaurants, shops, etc. The owner provided various beach toys, beach chairs, and a shade umbrella along with a couple of skateboards and a scooter which the kids all enjoyed. The actual condo has a well equipped kitchen, nice entertainment equipment, comfy beds, updated bathrooms and was very clean when we arrived. Our favorite part was spending time on the patio enjoying great views of the Pacific Ocean anytime we wanted! Mindy is a great owner who always responded to emails quickly, checked in with us during our stay, and provided us with a very nice welcome basket upon arrival. First class all the way. In summary awesome location, comfortable condo with wonderful ocean front views, and a very professional owner.

Don't let this one slip away! It's perfect!
This was our first experience with VRBO and would do it again in a heartbeat if all the places are like this one. The homeowners were very helpful and whenever I emailed before the trip they were quick to respond and gave us a lot of suggestions on where to eat and sites to visit while we were there. My husband and our three teenagers rented this beautiful home right on the beach the last week in May. It was perfect. The pictures are exactly what it looked like when we entered the place on the first day. With three grown teenagers it was really nice to have three bedrooms and three bathrooms so everyone was able to have their own space. The location was perfect for us. We rented a car so were able to take in the usual tourist spots such as the zoo and seaworld but there were days where we just walked out the front door and we were at the beach. We visited other beaches along the coast but really liked this one and it definitely has the nicest pier. Ruby's is right at the end of the pier and have great milk shakes!! Tin Fish is right by the pier and according to one of our sons had the best fish in San Diego. If we are lucky enough to visit San Diego again we are hoping to be able to rent this place again. Oh and don't forget the breathtaking sunsets that you can view right from the balcony. Loved it!
