Summary: You'll love staying in our pet-friendly condo on the world famous Oceanside beach. Hear waves crash and take in the lovely Pacific Ocean breeze while sipping margaritas on your private balcony. If you need a break from the beach, you can walk to world class restaurants, craft breweries, and more. Our full renovation was recently completed and is ready to host you for a trip of a lifetime!
The Space: Our condo is air conditioned! Don't believe anyone who says you don't need A/C in the summer - the condos along the beach are extremely hot on summer days. This unit is part of a seven unit complex. In order to access the unit, you will need to walk up one flight of stairs.
Guest Access: Door PIN will be sent just prior to your arrival. Please note it doesn't activate until your scheduled check-in time.
Other Things to Note: Please be sure to read the "Things to Know" section at the bottom of the listing to ensure our property is a good fit for your stay. Please also note you are welcome to bring one (1) dog. The fee is $35/night/pet. Unauthorized pets will be a $500 fine. Also, keep in mind that the parking area is pretty tight. A large truck won’t fit, so if you do have a large truck, you’ll need to park on the street above (Pacific St). A minivan (since it can make tighter turns) should fit as well sedans and smaller trucks.

The place was perfect and the host was fantastic with his communication before and during the trip. Easy access to the beach and businesses near the peer too.

It’s the perfect little apartment. Right on the beach & within walking distance to anything you’d need. The kitchen is very well stocked. As well as any toiletries you’d need. Linens are high quality too! It’s a very well thought out place with lots of attention to detail. The host was very easy to communicate with as well. Highly recommend!

Such a cool place to stay! Super cute, modern, clean inside and nice touches with the beach chairs, umbrellas and towels! Cozy and comfy and perfect for our family of four! Even closer to the beach than I thought- I could throw a stone in the ocean from the balcony! Pier, restaurants and shopping all walking distance!! Would stay here again!!

It's wonderful to know the little touches made your stay even more comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back whenever your travels bring you to the area again.
Clean well maintained vacation home. Hop right across the road into the beach. Enjoyed the coffee maker for morning coffee on the balcony looking at the beach. Appreciated the beach chairs for using on the beach. Walk to shops, the pier, restaurants and bars within 15 minutes. Nice to be right on the strip for watching cars cruise by. Easy check in/out. Great communication with the property manager and it was nice he just checked in periodically to make sure things were great.

The place could not be any closer to the beach and you have reserved parking available where you can see your car from the property, which is pretty cool. The host replied to all our texts immediately. We really enjoyed the stay, thank you!

Our little family had a wonderful time at this condo over the long weekend! The location was perfect—close to everything, and just steps from the beach. The unit was clean and well-appointed, with everything we could possibly need. It was updated, charming, and we will definitely be back!
Great place right next to the beach. Perfect for just myself and my short trip. Walking distance to the Pier and shops. Very clean and owners were really nice. Thanks again, would definitely stay here again.
Place was perfect for what I was looking for. Right on the beach, and it was a nice beach, Google street view had me worried but the images undersell it. Walkable distance (even for my school-age child) to the pier with lots of restaurants and snack options. Convenient hose to wash feet before going into the place. So nice to have an on-site parking spot.
This is our second time staying here at Harbor House. The condo is nice and has everything that you would need. The view is awesome, just open the patio door and listen to the ocean. It’s right on The Strand which is always bustling with activity and the beach is right there. It has private parking and pet friendly. Nick, the host was always quick to respond to any questions you might have. It’s a great choice for an Oceanside vacation.
Had an amazing stay! The place was very clean and comfortable, truly felt like home. The location was perfect — we were able to walk everywhere. Parking was a bit tight, but it wasn’t an issue since we walked most places. The view of the beach was beautiful, and the area was wonderfully quiet. Highly recommend!

A great condo and a great location! Steps to the beach, open the sliding door and listen to the waves. We had a very relaxing stay. If you’re there on a Thursday be sure to check out the market in downtown, lots of great food! Oceanside has it all and this condo is close to everything.
This is a hidden gem of a rental. It was clean, it was in a great location, and the property manager was very professional and responsive. One thing to take note is that the parking here is very tight. I would suggest not bringing a large vehicle. The best way to park is to drive backwards through a narrow driveway and then to make a sharp right turn into a parking space. If you struggle with parking in tight places, the parking here may be a challenge.
Our stay at Harbor House was great from start to finish. Booking easy, communication with Nick and Amy was amazing. They were informative and answered any question I had promptly. The place is very cute with everything we needed. The view was awesome and location can’t be beat. Right across from the ocean and in the heart of activity. We loved every minute we were there and would definitely go back!
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely ocean front home. Everything was clean and organized. The bed was extra comfortable! Great location with the beach out front and shops, restaurants in easy walking distance. Can’t wait to return in the future!
Comfortable accommodations in a great local.
Taste and smell the ocean from the balcony. Nice surf break for recreation.
Waking distance to good food and drinks- Active Boardwalk.
Way better than a hotel. Plenty of room inside to relax with the ocean breeze coming in, but also has a covered balcony outside. The boardwalk and beach are right by you. Pier and bike rentals within walking distance. Awesome find!
Well located, clean, ocean view place with parking. Didn’t need to use our car all weekend as we were walking distance from beach, restaurants, movie theater, surf museum, marina and live music. Host was very responsive and check in process was seamless. Thank you!
