About this property

Quaint & Comfortable Cottage-short walk to Beach & Restaurants. Back patio & AC!

Charming Beach Cottage. You can hear the surf at night, outdoor shower for washing off after a day at the beach. Very short walk (even for kids) to the pier, local restaurants, movie theater and the train station. Great location to access all that San Diego and Orange County have to offer.

Why the Owner Chose Oceanside:
* We love Oceanside. It's a great location to travel both north and south to enjoy all that Southern California has to offer. Oceanside is a great beach community with so much to do on the beach, at the harbor and in town. Oceanside is a laid back beach community with great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and local shops. We love shopping the local farmer's market on Thursday mornings and Sunset market Thursday nights. We love riding the bikes along the strand and taking in the sunset at the harbor or the pier. We also enjoy taking the train down to San Diego for the day and enjoying the culture and entertainment.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
*Beach, Pier, and restaurants are all a very short walk away - even for kids! Private patio in back yard with outdoor seating, large gas grill, and ambiance lighting for a wonderful outdoor family dinner. A true beach house. Great for a family getaway!

Description matches!

Great place in close proximity to everything oceanside has to offer. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, the beach! To note though, as another reviewer mentioned, it is across from the nearby train station and a parking lot. Noise from both was generally minimal aside from the occasional train horn/freight train passing, but the lot seemed to be a local hang out place for a homeless person or two while we were staying there.

Best Family Vacation!

The beach cottage was PERFECT for our spring break vacation for our family and dog! The walking proximity to downtown for the food and shops, the sand beach, and transit station to San Diego made this more than an ideal location! We only drove our car once the whole stay because we were able to use the bikes or walk everywhere. We never worried about our 17 and 13 year old "being bored".The cottage was fully stocked with plenty toiletries and the kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner in when the weather was too rainy for the beach. The linens were clean and two bathrooms were perfect for us. A pleasant surprise was a credenza full of board games and the sunning lawn chairs in the back with outside dining!We had a fantastic family vacation at a beach side location where we could all create core family memories! We would certainly stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Adrienne Petersen

Host profile image
We love the beach, the weather and the laid-back attitude of the beach community. Oceanside is our "home away from home." Our kids have grown up swimming, biking, learning to surf and playing in the sand and waves of Oceanside beach.

Why they chose this property

This house is a quaint beach cottage. It's open and comfortable for our family. It's the perfect size and location for a family get-away. Close enough to walk to the beach, the down town, and restaurants. We love to take the train to San Diego. It has been fun to watch Oceanside evolve into the perfect beach community with plenty of great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Beach, Pier, restaurants all a very short walk away... even for kids. private patio in back for outdoor seating. The gated yard makes this house ideal for pets and privacy. A true beach house. Great for family or a quiet retreat.
