About this property
Renovated bungalow, Private backyard, near beach/restaurants, AC, Bikes
Private house that was completely renovated in 2020. We are following all recommended cleaning processes.
Book with confidence, based on over 200 five-star reviews on my 4-VRBO properties. Other properties are: #182242, #821584, #4054307. If you need a large rental, ask about also renting the units located on the back of the property.
This recently renovated one-level house with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths is located in a quiet part of coastal South Oceanside. It is just blocks from a local beach and many restaurants/shops. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from highway 5, it is the perfect location whether you want to enjoy the beach area, or visit major attractions including the Zoo, Seaworld, Legoland, or even Disneyland.
As you enter the house, you will see an open floor design, with the main sitting area, kitchen, and dinning area all together . The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, glassware, utensils, coffee maker, blender, and let's not forget about the wine-opener! The family room has a comfortable sitting area with a 60 inch smart (Roku) TV, with all standard cable/ local channels with DVR capability. Free hi-speed Wi-Fi is also provided .
You can take advantage of the great year-round weather the area is known for on your private patio which includes a gas grill, outside furniture and two lounge chairs. Two bedrooms have queen beds, while a third smaller bedroom has a full sized bed. Two full sized bathrooms, both with newly tiled stall showers, are available from all rooms (soap, shampoo provided). Sorry, no bathtubs. Fresh linens and towels are provided as well as a hair dryer. In case you need to do any wash, the house has a large washer and dryer and detergent is also provided.
To make sure you are comfortable, the renovations included central A/C. Although the beach areas are known for their moderate temps, hot weather can occur anytime of the year. Even during the winter!
Large vehicals over 17 feet long will not fit into garage, and free street parking would have to be used. Typically spots can be found within a 1.5 blocks. Standard size SUVs will fit.
Since mostly locals live on the block, there typcially is a close parking spot on the street close to the house. There is also a dedicated parking spot in a garage on the back of the property which is shared with another rental.
No vacation is complete without taking a short walk to the popular Buccaneer Beach to see the sunset or perhaps to take advantage of the park which has a great playground for children. If you go before noon (2pm on weekends) you have to visit “The Buccaneer Cafe” located just across the street from Buccaneer beach (PS - try the Loco Moco or award winning cheese burgers).
If you just want to relax on the beach, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, a beach cart, and kids sand toys are provided.
Two beach bike are provided, and upon request additional bikes including a child's bike, may be available (we do not provide helmets and it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to ride without a helmet so please bring one if needed).
On Thursdays, you should plan on visiting the Oceanside Farmers Market.
If there is a need for more than the small local shops, you can take a short 10 min drive to the “Carlsbad Outlet Mall”, or “The Forum Shops” located in nearby Encinitas. FYI, a small local market called “Primos” (very famous with the locals), is located just a few blocks away. You will be shocked to find they happen to have a great fresh meat counter in the back part of the store! For those with babies, I can provide a pack 'n play and booster seat if requested.
Beaware that the train runs close to the beach in Oceanside and you will hear the train whistle. It has not been a problem as you can see from the reviews.
Policies: - With payment you will be agreeing to abide to Oceanside's "Good Nieghbor Policy" (GNP) which can be seen in full on the rental contract. The GNP does not allow load load noises after 10pm, limits daytime guests to 10 people up till 10pm, and requires you to inform all occupents of these rules. - No smoking inside the house or on the patio - One well behaved dog is allowed if requested at time of reservation (ask if more than one dog) - No drugs allowed at the property - Must be at least 25 years old to book

This beach house rental exceeded our expectations! The location is great, just a couple blocks from the beach, food and shops. The house is clean and equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making our stay enjoyable and hassle-free. Highly recommend for a relaxing beach getaway!
We were very happy with our stay, the house was beautiful inside, and out. The neighborhood was quiet and also beautiful. Warren was very friendly, and easy to reach. We would definitely love to stay at this property again.
House was great. Location was in walking distance to everything we needed. Maid got sick so we had to finish cleaning or we would have given it all 5 stars.
The location is great for walking to restaurants of all sorts and for a short walk to the beach. We especially loved the convenience of a covered garage and fenced yard. Warren was quick to respond when we had a small glitch with the TV reception. Overall, this is a very nice place to stay.
Wonderful property. This place has it all. 3 bd 2 bath, nice kitchen, super comfy couch w/great outdoor spaces for pup! Very clean, well appointed house. Easy TV set up, tons of channels. Close to restaurants and a beach close by! Warren, the host is very responsive and helpful. We look forward to staying here again!
The place was comfortable and as expected. Warren was communicative when needed. There were a couple hiccups with bikes & boogie boards but, overall everything worked out. We enjoyed our stay!
Comfy super clean home in Oceanside with wonderful hosts
Warren and Meryl's place in Oceanside was a delightful stay. It is a beautiful and comfy home, very clean and spacious. The updated kitchen was well equipped and thoughtfully supplied with spices and condiments. The information provided about the property and the local area was very thorough and helpful. The hosts were very responsive. We highly recommend this home and would definitely stay again.
Worked out perfectly for my husband and myself and two grown sons. We were visiting our daughter who lives in Carlsbad. Access to eating places is excellent and we even went bowling which is in walking distance-
We stayed at this property (family of 4) for two weeks. Even though we didn't need anything, the manager reached out to make sure we were comfortable. Everything in the house worked well and was tidy when we arrived. Had a great time driving to some of the beaches nearby!
Everything was perfect except we had to pick up trucks and neither one would fit in the garage so we was always searching for parking. It was Memorial Day weekend and everybody had company we believe. The neighbor got really upset and cussed us out for parking partially on his property a couple times. We would definitely pick this place again the only difference being we would rent a car instead of a truck :-) the owners were extremely helpful and kind and went out of their way to make sure everything was good.
Very roomy with 2 bathrooms. Walking distance to ocean. Very quick response to any question. Cute and quiet back yard. 3 bedrooms was perfect for our little group. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels and amenities. I left a necklace behind and it was located and shipped to me!!!!
We appreciated that the host was very thorough and prompt with responses and background information. We enjoyed a wonderful stay in a clean spacious home with great attention to detail. The location allows a quick walk to the beach, Primo Market for groceries and Mexican food, a variety of restaurants and coffee shops, and even easy access to downtown Carlsbad and Oceanside. We especially enjoyed some of the new restaurants in the nearbyFreeman Collective-Little Fox Collective, Tanners Prime Collective and Heritage Brewing and Barbecue. Wish we’d had time to try the bakery as their pastries looked tasty too! Coffee and acai bowls at Buccaneer Beach Cafe were a morning favorite with views of the beach across the street. Hope to return some day!
This bungalow was perfect for our holiday weekend getaway. The location was great and convenient to anything and everything. The neighborhood was in a nice area and quiet.
There was plenty of room for all of us in the bungalow. Everything was clean and in great shape. The appliances in the kitchen were nice and it was well stocked for us to make breakfast before we headed out for the day. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of closet and drawer space. The internet was strong.
Communication was informative before arrival and during. Everything we needed to know was in emails and in the pamphlet in the house. Warren has everything set up for you perfectly so you don't have to request anything. But if you do need anything, he's readily available. Overall, no issues and a good value for our group. We would love to stay here on our next visit so we can go to the beach.
Spacious, well equipped bungalow in the perfect location. Walking distance to beach, shopping, and great restaurants/coffeeshops. Quiet neighborhood. Will be back!
Great property with comfortable beds and all the room we needed. Perfect location. Walking to the beach and restaurants was easy. Would definitely stay here again!
