All homes in Oceanside sit behind a rock barrier protecting the homes from storm surges. The amount of sand beyond the rock barrier varies with storms and tides and may have more or less sand than what is shown in the photos… however you always have your own private sand area in front of the house regardless of the tide.

Thank you for your review Michael! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay!
Our family had an incredible stay at this beachfront home in Oceanside! The location was unbeatable—and every evening ended with the most breathtaking sunsets right outside the window. We even got to see a pod of dolphins, and the binoculars from the host came in quite handy for that! The weather was perfect throughout our stay, making it easy to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze.Whether we were lounging on the deck or taking a morning stroll along the beach, everything about this place felt like a true getaway. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic escape by the water. Can’t wait to come back!
The house and host were fantastic! We loved the location, it was the perfect beach house! Thank you!

Views Beyond The Sea
The house was everything we imaged. Incredible views, privacy, beach front access, fire pit, did I mention the VIEWS! The sunsets were fantastic! We would definitely come back!
This was a perfect house for my wife and I along with our two adult daughters and three grandkids. The little mini beach was perfect for the little ones to play. It really is a great beach house!
Great house and a fantastic location, with everything you need for a great vacation. We made smores every night in the private outdoor firepit with the waves crashing just a few feet away and stunning sunsets. The host was quick to answer questions during check-in.
We had a wonderful time at this Oceanside home. There are several different stairs to access the entire house. The views are spectacular! We were fortunate enough to see several dolphins every day. We had a lovely time.
We loved our stay at Sean’s place - well stocked with everything you might need, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable - did I mention the amazing view and experience of being beachfront??? Sean is a perfect host, quickly responsive to all questions. Loved it! Thank you, Sean!
What a beautiful property. Every room was clean with great views. The private beach was breathtaking. We watched dolphins everyday. The house offered everything you could think of besides food. I would rent this again in a heartbeat. Family vacation 2022 weather was perfect we even swam in the ocean.
Start to finish, this stay was 5-star - our favorite Oceanside trip of all! The house was beautiful, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay - from boogie boards and a fire pit to washer/dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. The house is huge, but so cozy and inviting - it was the perfect space to relax and unwind.We loved the beautiful weather and scenery on our daily walk for coffee and breakfast sandwiches - but meals on the patio with the Pacific as a backdrop were just as heavenly!I spent hours watching the sea (THANK YOU for the binoculars!). We saw dolphins and sea lions just off the back of the house, and I nerded out with my Maritime app, identifying boats and ships as they passed and learning more about them.The views, as stated in every review, are bliss. The beds were SO comfortable, and there is nothing quite like drifting off to sleep at night (or during a midday nap) with the Pacific Ocean as your lullaby.
Beautifully appointed, very clean, comfortable beds and furniture., a spacious and open kitchen!
The only thing I would add to the description is that the lower level is ONLY accessed by an outside stairway. We only used upstairs as a result.
The view is SPECTACULAR!!!! Ahhhhh!
This is an exceptional property! Great location and well appointed. The online pictures are beautiful but still, upon arrival, the views are even more breathtaking--on every level!
Having two living areas really made a huge difference. The adults to could hang out on our patio while the kids did their thing upstairs. Perfect for folks like us--Grandparents, kids and grandkids.
If you're into the dining scene, you've hit the jackpot. Great restaurants and all within a less than 1/2 mile walk. The marina also offers a great selection of fresh seafood and shopping (making reservations for dining in advance is recommended).
Oceanside is beautiful and really clean. Folks are super friendly and we even had our own private fireworks show on the 4th thanks to a neighbor several doors down. We can't wait to come back!

Great beach home with private beach. My dog loved it and couldn’t wait to swim. Our SUV didn’t fit in the garage because it only has a 6ft clearance, but we always had parking in the front. We were also able to walk to different places, including a farmers market. Very safe and quiet area with park and coffee shop at walking distance.
The only negative is that the property smells old. They have remodeled and taken excellent care of the home, but the smell was bad. Also, the shower outside wasn’t working to wash out any sand but a shower is accesible from the garage. The water temperature does change if someone else is using the restroom. Don’t flush the toilet if someone is in the shower.
This rental was by far the best experience we've ever had. Sean was incredibly responsive and when we noticed that the umbrellas would not stay open I asked if he had any extra assuming they'd be locked up somewhere. Two immediately showed up from crazy fast Amazon service. It was a difference maker as there would be no shade otherwise. The upstairs bedroom was too warm the first night, even with the AC unit on. I asked if there was a floor fan anywhere and then one showed up a few hours later. The downstairs level was a fantastic bonus as there were four of us, and one couple stayed down there with the main floor living area and kitchen as our common space every day. Would be perfect if you wanted teens/kids to be there!
The wifi was perfect. Cell is spotty due to location.
We made use of the fire pit and sandy area around it every day.
The house is not close to a true sandy beach, but you can walk to one that is two miles in either direction. We walked 2 miles south to Carlsbad beach, spent the day and Ubered home. The PCH bar and grill has surprisingly GREAT food and a lovely speak easy bar and that is within walking distance. For nicer dining, we ventured away for that. Also, Carlsbad Village has some fun casual places.
There are not enough words for how great our trip was. The views, the house layout, and the multiple decks and beachy seating area were so fantastic. The difference maker is Sean and you cannot go wrong with a rental from him.
