About this property

Walk to beach/restaurants, No shared areas, Pvt Patio , Garage, AC, Bikes

This 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit (1000 sqft) has a private backyard, and includes one parking spot in a garage.  Other than the garage ,which is shared with on other unit, there are no other shared areas since you can conveniently enter the rental directly from the garage.  Please note, some noise can be heard. from upstairs,  If sensitive to noise, this could be an issue.

We are cleaning all surfaces with EPA-registered household disinfectants.

Large vehicals over 17 feet long will not fit into garage, and free street parking would have to be used. Typically spots can be found within a 1.5 blocks. Standard size SUVs will fit.

This property is located west of Coast Hwy,  and thus an easy 8 minute walk to the beach, or a 4 minute walk to the many different restaurants and shops in the area . Located in the quiet neighborhood of South Oceanside, you will be just over 1 mile away from the Village of Carlsbad to the south and the busy Oceanside pier area just north.  Each bedroom leads to a private backyard with a sitting area, gas weber grill and dining table.

Built by a local builder in 2010 for himself to live in, it has many upgrades such as 10 foot ceilings, custom solid wood doors, and a beautifully tiled bathroom.     In your dedicated garage parking spot, you will have 2 beach bikes (additional bikes available upon request), 4 beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie boards, and even beach toys for the kids.  I can provide a smaller bike for a child and a pack-in-play/booster seat, if you let me know in advance.  

TVs in all rooms with standard cable channels  including DVR recording capability. High speed wireless WIFI is also provided.

South Oceanside getaway

Very convenient location to some great local restaurants and coffee shops. Also, it’s a very short walk to the shore and to Bucc’s coffee and Buccaneer Park. The bedrooms are comfortable and each has its own door to the private backyard. The garage access is a plus. This is a great “home away from home”. We will definitely consider this property if we are in the area again. The host was very responsive and accommodating.
