Security cameras are being installed on the outside of our home in March 2023 behind the house, on the walkways and front of garage facing the street. NO CAMERAS are installed on the ocean front balcony (only on the lower perimeter of the property.)
The house is located on The Strand. Since the house is located so close to the water, City of Oceanside has placed large rock boulders between The Strand and beach to help protect the houses during High Tides. (Small staircase for beach access is two houses over)
The beach size in front of the house depends on mother nature. Sometimes the beach is large and life guards drive their trucks on the beach, people lay out or play games on the beach. Other times the tide is high and the water comes all the way to the top of the rocks. We can not guarantee the beach size during your stay. It's all up to Mother Nature. There is always a nice sandy beach approximately 5-7 minute walk towards the pier.
Our house is located next to full time neighbors. Absolutely no parties or events at the house. Please be considerate and keep the noise down. If you have excessive noise, you will be asked to leave. Please be considerate of neighbors and only park in designated areas.

The ocean is so close to the house. Waves crashing on the rocks right in front. Beach access is across the street. Saw dolphins in am and pm. Host was great. Communication was open. Having a garage to put car in at night was a plus. The house had everything you need for a great beach vacation. Pelicans galore flying by. Temperatures in the house were good. Fresh ocean breeze. House is great for extended family. Appliances all worked great. Definitely want to return.

Wonderful Stay!!
Absolutely beautiful stay in Oceanside! This home is perfect for a beach stay (loaded with chair, beach boards, sand toys and towels) and the view of the ocean from the house is stunning. We had a blast being on on the ocean side boardwalk - the surfing, people watching + wildlife (dolphins and seals) was wonderful! I would absolutely stay here again.

Owners provided a first class, well stocked house and made sure we were comfortable. Views were great. Since the tide was high during the day we had a short walk to a sandy beach. There are steps to the ocean two houses north. Parking for four cars was convenient. We plan to return in 2024.

Spacious beach house with ocean waves
We loved this house and the view. The hosts were excellent - they gave us ideas for activities and helped with any questions I had. The sound of the waves was so relaxing. I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere that the beds and sheets were as comfortable as home. They had lots of closet space and hangers.

Great Vacation Home
We had an amazing time visiting Oceanside for the Ironman 70.3 race. Staying on The Strand was fantastic for our family to watch us race, and then relax for the next week taking in the amazing ocean views. Debbie was great to work with before, during and after our stay. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a great clean property that's big enough you feel at home and not cramped. The Ocean views were amazing, close to the pier and beaches. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed during our stay. I will definitely come back and stay here again.

Perfect Family Thanksgiving Spot!
First things first, the property description was so accurate that when we arrived we knew exactly how everything would be laid out and what would be provided during our stay. Secondly, Robert & Debbie genuinely understand the concept of a home-away-from-home and made us feel welcome from the moment we confirmed the booking and through check-out. There were 12 of us (8 adults & 4 kids, ages 3-11), and there was plenty of space for all of us without feeling crowded or cramped. Having the extra refrigerator space & oven downstairs made Thanksgiving cooking a breeze! And finally, you cannot beat the view and beach access! The steps down to the beach are practically right across the road (The Strand) and YES, there is a high tide where the waves are crashing against the rocks. BUT there is naturally a LOW TIDE...which during this time of the year was in the 2-3 hours before sunset each day so every afternoon we had our own private beach just steps away from this beautiful home!
Thank you so much for everything, Robert & Debbie...we WILL be back for our next beach vacation to O'side!

The perfect home
This is such a beautiful home! The view was spectacular from the minute we woke up and went to bed; I enjoyed lots of patio time. The sound of the waves was a pleasant surprise as I slept. Debbie, the owner was an excellent host and provided everything and anything you could think of to have the perfect vacation. The home is fully stocked and word of advice- don’t over pack like I did. Check-in was quick and easy and the home was immaculate when we arrived. This was a staycation for my fam and I, but we did take advantage of the beach cruisers and took plenty of walks around the neighborhood. This was our first time in Oceanside and enjoyed the small beach town. I can’t wait to return and I would definitely stay at this house if given the opportunity. Thank you Debbie for providing the perfect place to make memories.

Loved the property, location, and the ower. We had everything we needed and then some for a wonderful two-week stay. The location is perfect. There is something to do in every direction, and you never have to move your car. The beds were heavenly, and the kitchen well appointed. There was room to spread out and have your own space. My adult sons stayed in the basement, which was their own apartment. They loved it. The only complaint I had, and it is a small one that I have at every rental home, is the kitchen knives were dull, and there wasn't a sharpener. I'm a big veggie person, and good knives make all the difference. That's it for complaints!!! This place and owner are fantastic, and I would recommend staying there to anyone that wants a perfect family house in a great location!!!!
