Cozy Beach Cottage w/ Private Patio – Walk to Beach, Pier, Dining & Shops

Charming Beach Cottage – Steps to Beach, Pier & Dining!
Wake up and enjoy ocean breezes from your private patio. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. This cozy, family-friendly cottage is a very short walk (even for kids) to the pier, local restaurants, movie theater, and train station.

Perfectly located to explore all that Oceanside, San Diego, and Orange County have to offer. Relax on the patio, stroll to sunset dinners, or hop the train for coastal adventures. Ideal for couples or small families looking for a comfortable, beach-close escape.

Why the Owner Chose Oceanside:
We fell in love with Oceanside’s laid-back coastal charm. It’s the perfect location to explore all that Southern California offers — just a short trip north to Orange County or south to San Diego.

Oceanside has something for everyone: beautiful beaches, a lively harbor, great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and unique local stores. We love strolling the Thursday morning Farmers Market and Sunset Market on Thursday nights, riding bikes along the Strand, and catching sunsets at the harbor or pier.

When we’re feeling adventurous, we hop on the Coaster train for a day in San Diego to enjoy the art, culture, and entertainment — then return to our relaxed beach community to unwind.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
Everything you need for a relaxing stay is right here.
Walk to the beach, pier, and restaurants — all just minutes away. Enjoy your private backyard patio with comfortable seating, a large gas grill, and ambiance lighting for evening family dinners.

After a fun day on the sand, refresh in the outdoor shower and listen to the sound of the waves from the patio as you unwind. It’s a true beach house — perfect for a family getaway, couples retreat, or weekend escape in the heart of Oceanside.

Very cute and clean beach cottage

We loved staying here and will definitely be back! It was very clean and cozy. It was so nice have two bedrooms and two bathrooms - definitely a must with 4 adults. The location was great! It was a short walk to the beach as well as places to eat. We had a dog with us and it was so nice to have a fenced yard. It had everything we needed for the beach - boogie boards, chairs, towels, an umbrella and a wagon to cart everything in. There were 5 bikes for us to ride as well. Loved staying her and had a great time!

Highly recommend

We had a wonderful week + at the cottage. As described, it was an easy walk to the beach, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I planned on cooking more - grill worked well - but we ended up eating a lot of amazing tacos at places that were within walking distance. The hosts were super responsive. All in all, we had a terrific time. Highly recommend.

We had stayed here once before with another couple for 2 nights and really enjoyed the house. It is great for 2 couples with each bedroom having their own spacious bathroom. We enjoyed the house so much that we booked for a month! July 7-Aug 7. The house has a comfortable at home feeling. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking, which we did a lot of. Beds in both rooms VERY comfortable. Although the house has A/C we didn’t use it once. The air flow is great and we loved the fresh air. The train depot is right across from the house. Trains do not blow their horns. We took the train to a couple Padre games, to Irvine to have dinner with our kids and even to an Angel game. Metrolink on weekends is 5 senior and 10 adult kids free round trip all day on sat/sun. Goes northbound and last stop southbound is Oceanside. Coaster for southbound. House is walking distance to the beach, restaurants, Thursday market fairs. Neighborhood quiet during the week and active on the weekends. Enjoyed sitting on the front patio people watching. This is a great home for short and longer stays. You won’t be disappointed.

Description matches!

Great place in close proximity to everything oceanside has to offer. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, the beach! To note though, as another reviewer mentioned, it is across from the nearby train station and a parking lot. Noise from both was generally minimal aside from the occasional train horn/freight train passing, but the lot seemed to be a local hang out place for a homeless person or two while we were staying there.

Best Family Vacation!

The beach cottage was PERFECT for our spring break vacation for our family and dog! The walking proximity to downtown for the food and shops, the sand beach, and transit station to San Diego made this more than an ideal location! We only drove our car once the whole stay because we were able to use the bikes or walk everywhere. We never worried about our 17 and 13 year old "being bored".The cottage was fully stocked with plenty toiletries and the kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner in when the weather was too rainy for the beach. The linens were clean and two bathrooms were perfect for us. A pleasant surprise was a credenza full of board games and the sunning lawn chairs in the back with outside dining!We had a fantastic family vacation at a beach side location where we could all create core family memories! We would certainly stay here again!
