Blue Whale Retreat ~ D303 at North Coast Village

Wake up to the breathtaking sights and sounds of the ocean! Enjoy the stunning whitewater ocean view, pool, and garden views from both balconies of this beautifully remodeled two-bedroom condo. Located just a stone’s throw away from the ocean, you can relax and soak in the amazing views while your kids splash and play in the lagoon-style heated pool. Plus, the sandy beach is just a few steps away!

The living room of Blue Whale Retreat is cozy and inviting. It features a comfortable sectional sofa with a queen-size pull-out bed and a Samsung Smart TV. The living room opens up to a private ocean-view balcony, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze.

The kitchen is modern and stylish, with custom cabinets, granite counters, a tumbled stone backsplash, tile floors, and recessed lighting. It’s fully equipped with all the essentials, including a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, dishes, pots, pans, flatware, cooking utensils, coffee maker, toaster, and blender. The dining area comfortably seats four people.

The second level is the romantic primary bedroom retreat, complete with a large ocean-view balcony. The downstairs bedroom has two full-size beds. The lower level bath is a tub/shower combination, while the second-level bathroom is a walk-in shower.

To make your stay even more enjoyable, we’ve provided three televisions. The Living Room TV is perfect for entertainment, and it also comes with free wireless Internet. Make My Vacation takes care of all the linens and towels, beach chairs, and beach towels, so you can relax and enjoy your vacation without any worries.

And the best part? This property comes with two assigned parking spaces in the underground, gated garage, so you can park your car safely and conveniently.

As you walk through the staffed secure gate to North Coast Village, you're transported to a tropical oasis reminiscent of the Costa Rican Rain Forest. Running streams, waterfalls, lush foliage, and Koi meander through the spacious grounds of this resort-like beachfront condominium complex located in Oceanside, California, between the Harbor and the Pier.

You will notice the crystal clear heated pool and spa, gleaming barbecues, convenient picnic tables, and sand rinsing stations to remove the lingering beach. If you need a break from sun and surf, you might enjoy a game of pool, a jog on a treadmill in the exercise room, a little ping pong, or a sauna. Feeding our giant Koi is a simple pleasure not to be missed during your Oceanside visit. There is also a putting green and foosball.

When you venture all the way through the back gates, you find yourself on one of North San Diego County’s finest beaches: broad and flat, with fire rings, volleyball, and great surf breaks - right out back! Be sure to stake out a fire ring to the south for a unique evening beach fire at least one night while you are in Oceanside.

To the north, you can walk or bike to Oceanside’s busy little harbor for a bite to eat or some boating, and to the south you can venture down the strand to southern California’s longest pier for some fishing (no license needed) or casual dining at Ruby's. North Coast Village is close enough to walk to everything near the beach, so your car can stay in its secure underground parking spot - especially useful when beach parking becomes a premium in the summer.

The Mainstreet Oceanside Farmer's Market is a delightful experience near the Pier which takes place every Thursday from 9-1, and and the Sunset Market Thursday evenings from 5-9.

Within a short drive, visit Disneyland & California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Magic Mountain, Balboa Island, La Jolla, Mission San Juan Capistrano, Mission Luis Rey, Queen Mary, San Diego State Parks, San Diego Wild Animal Park, Legoland, Sea World, The Flower Fields of Carlsbad, Temecula Wine Country, San Diego Zoo, Del Mar Racetrack, Coronado Island, Oceanside Harbor, Birch Aquarium at Scripp's Institute of Oceanography, and Palomar Observatory.

Family (no itinerary) getaway

We had a fantastic time during our stay. We rotated between time at the beach and the pool. The condo was perfectly sized for our family of four. The balconies had amazing views out to the ocean where we shipped out coffee and watched the surfers each morning. We're already ready to book another stay.

Great Family stay!!!

This is a very nicely decorated condo. Would definitely rent it again. Although when we arrived, there was a fry pan in the shelf filled with grease, and a dirty bowl in the shelf. I called management and they sent cleaning who merely emptied a dish washer that hadn’t been run. Management was VERY apologetic. We’re it not for that I would give it 5 star. Freaked me out because of Covid and a compromised immune system in our group.

Family Vacation

Absolutely loved staying here! Very clean and convenient location. Beds were very comfortable and we were supplied with plenty of bedding. The unit required you to go to the third floor to enter and we found the elevator to be temperamental-some days it worked, some days it didn't. That was annoying sometimes. We were also only given two towels per guest, for an entire week-which maybe seems like a lot to some, but coming to and from the beach and the pool as often as we did, it wasn't enough. There is however a washer/dryer on the property, so we were able to wash them as we needed (must provide your own soap). The host also does not supply any shampoo/conditioner (just a heads up to any guests who are used to having that), but there is a grocery/convince store close by to pick that up. The host does provide four Beach chairs and two youth sized body boards. (There was an adult size one as well, but it was broken so we left it behind) which made beach days now fun. Anyway, I hope this review helps you to understand exactly what to expect, but I would for sure recommend staying here! It was a blast!

Perfect Place for Families!

Everything was great. The pool and hot tub was a huge hit with my wife and the kids and the proximity to the beach and places to eat was perfect. The only thing I'd probably recommend is bringing a couple extra beach towels. We were there for a week and they did have 4 beach towels there but with kids I wish we would have had a couple extra. Overall did not take away from the experience one bit and we would absolutely stay again!

Beach time in October

We go to Oceanside every October with our kids for Fall break and this condo was a great fit for our family! We had 6 people total. We loved having a separate space for the adults upstairs with our own balcony, plus plenty of room with 2 full size beds for our teen boys and a sofa bed for our younger kids. The place was clean with everything we needed.The owners were quick to respond tonight questions and the check in/check out couldn’t have been simpler. This is a great condo for a larger family!

Relaxing with nice ammenities

We enjoyed our stay. The views were beautiful and the complex was relaxing and quiet even being above the pool and near the ocean. The grounds were very beautiful. The complex is older but they keep it looking nice. The only downfall was that I didn't know there was no air conditioning and the upstairs room was very hot in July. Would most likely be pleasant in the fall and winter.
