About this property

Mile to Ocean! Fully Fenced Private SoCal Cottage

Classic Southern California 1939 beach bungalo offering comfort and access to all the best coastal Oceanside and Soutern California attractions. Oceanside has great weather, amazing eateries, and is very walkable. Soak in some sun at the beach, see the west coast's longest wooden peir, or the sea lions at the Oceanside Harbor, or relax at home with the barbeque, a cold drink and the ocean breeze. This home offers the perfect retreat for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Southern California.

Cruise less than 1 mile down Mission Avenue or Civic Center Drive to Downtown Oceanside and the Beach. Easy walking and freeway access to all of Southern California's greatest attractions.

Oceanside Transportation Center (train, bus, light rail) within one mile, or by car. Coaster and Amtrak (rail service) to all the west coast attractions.

*Please note*
After confirming your booking, we ask all guests to provide a $500 deposit, complete a point of contact form, and renter agreement. The hold is released after 7 days if no incidents occurred during the reservation.

All kinds of bugs and roaches are common in the coastal region of Southern California and I do my best to keep them under control with traps and preventative pest treatments, and sometimes they still find a way to make it on to my property and inside the house!

If you encounter an issue, please let me know and I will be happy to help! :)

Comfortable & Convenient Bungalow

The place was perfectly located near beach and restaurants and short distance to Legoland and other destinations like Carlsbad and San Diego Zoo. The place had everything we needed to make meals and enjoy coffee or drinks on outside patio. Great place to stay for a family vacation.

Cozy

Furniture and beds were comfy. The house offered everything we possibly could’ve needed for our stay including some toys for our three-year-old. Relatively quiet if you’re inside, but close to the freeway so there is noise. We didn’t walk to anything in the neighborhood, but drove a couple miles toward the ocean where there were many wonderful coffee shops, icee cream, restaurants and things to see and do. Overall, a nice home to spend the night.

Beautifully Accommodated Home

This was a cozy beautiful accommodating home. It had everything me and family needed. It was closed to the beach and to everything. The property manager Paul was easy to communicate. He responded right away to my messages. I will highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay with dogs in the Carlsbad area. The fully fenced backyard was a game changer for my dogs. Karina

We traveled with our two dogs. Hard to find a great place for them like this. Really appreciated the beautiful back, front and side yards. Even had a doggie door. Could park in the enclosed yard. Property is cute and well maintained. Lots of nice little welcoming touches. And great support from Paul, the host:
