About this property

"Seafoam House" just steps to Surf Beach, Downtown

Conveniently located steps from the beach access at Tyson Park, also only a few blocks from downtown, you could go your whole stay here without ever getting in a car! The house features an enclosed patio perfect for BBQ-ing and soaking in the sea breeze. Frontside windows capture the sunlight and ocean air keeping the house cool and well-lit. Two bedrooms plus living room futon sleep 8. We have everything you need to make your beach days fun!
Perfect spot for beach lovers who also want easy walking access to town with restaurants, movie theater, bars, shopping, coffee shops, etc.
House has a keypad code access, making check-in and check-out simple.
Our property manager Pete lives close by (and so do we), so there's just about always someone on-call if any issues arise. Otherwise, we'll stay out of your hair!
Oceanside is an eclectic beach community. We have all the perks of a downtown area, but we are far-less populated than a busy city, so you get the best of both worlds. The pier and strand are a hubbub of tourists and locals, so it's a diverse place that caters to a lot of different interests. Beach, shops, movies, eateries--whatever your interests, our location is within walking distance to them all.
We offer off-street parking for two cars. We are just around the corner from the train station where you can hop on a train to LA, downtown, or anything in between. You might hear some noise from the train, but since we are close to a stop rather than a crossing, trains do not lay on the horn close to the house.

Not as expected
We were very excited to stay here. Driving up to the house we could already see that the property is not in the condition as shown in the pictures. Opening the door and seeing the filthy couches and stained carpets and rug was the worst. Even when we sat outside on the patio the seats had lots of dog hair on it. Walking down to the beach had us excited about the location being so close the beach. However, there was a lot of people hanging out that looked like they are a part of a gang and we had to make sure the kids stay very close to us. Homeless people were sleeping and walking win the area too. We didn’t feel safe with our kids and ended up driving to a beach in Del Mar every day.

Perfect little bungalow in a perfect location!
The Place - AMAZING: My teenage daughter and I stayed in this property for 3 weeks and LOVED every minute of it! The property itself is very comfortable (pretty clean...a couple of vents could use a good dusting but that really doesn't detract from the place), good size bedrooms and kitchen, good seating in living room. Front patio is fantastic and there was even a side yard that we could easily block off for our little pups. The location: The location COULD NOT BE BETTER! We were literally half a block from a great beach (we could hear the waves through the open windows at night) so it was easy to go whenever you wanted. We started and ended each day with a beach/beach-side walk. The house is off the main roads enough so that we didn't have to deal with constant traffic (even better, Myers is a one-way street so there is even LESS traffic than in other places). We were an easy 10-minute walk to the pier and downtown to anything and everything we could want/need. Great for adults and kids alike! There's even a little bodega (Wisconsin Market) at the end of Myers so you can pick up essentials if you need them (Great wine selection too!). Very easy to grocery stores/Target when needed and easy access to freeways. A few more things: AND, as if all that wasn't great enough, we had our own parking in the driveway right next to the house so we were never hunting for a spot or anything like that. It was the best! They had everything we needed from bath towels to beach towels to kitchen supplies to a beach wagon with chairs and toys. The washer and dryer were not full-size but they fit perfectly in the kitchen and were just right for running a few small loads as needed. They even had air conditioners in each of the rooms so we were very comfortable all through our stay. I would stay there again in a heartbeat (in fact I tried to book for July 2022 but someone else had already beat me to it..boo!). Couple Notes: It is cozy. It was absolutely FANTASTIC for me and my daughter but could be a little tight if you had more than that (although for the location, it is absolutely worth squeezing in a little!). You can definitely hear the train as there is a station/track a little bit behind the house. It did not really bother us at all but if you're super sensitive to noise, just a heads up (honestly by day 2 it was just part of the ambience for us...we kind of missed it when we went home). LOVED, LOVED, LOVED 208 S Myers! Hope we can stay again!

Beach Pad
Great place, comfortable, simple, everything fam needed. Nice patio, short walk to beach, restaurants, coffee. Place had everything we needed, property manager and owner were super nice and accessible but we really didn't need to have much contact because everything was already set up for us. Would recommend and would stay again. Thanks for a fun 4th.

It's in a great location! Older 2 bedroom home that needs some updating but it has the basics.

Great location, super clean!
We enjoyed this 2 bedroom beach house! Easy access to the beach, close to the pier, and it has a nice outdoor patio. It had everything we needed including a washer and dryer, grill, parking, tv, fan, internet, boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, and umbrella. Just make sure to bring your own hairdryer. The train is right behind the house but did not bother me with the fan running. There is a great local coffee/sandwich shop a couple blocks down. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location, cozy home
You can't find a better location! The beach is less than a block away with easy stair access to the sand, jungle gym/park, concessions, showers, etc. You can literally hear the waves crashing as you sit on the patio in the evenings. All the neighbors and local passers-by were super friendly. It's got a cool beach community kind of vibe. The train station is just around the corner with easy access to downtown San Diego and Old Town. The local coffee shop "The Cup" came recommended by the owners (who were very responsive and down-to-earth folks!), and it did not disappoint. We walked there for our morning coffee and croissant sandwich almost every day. The kids loved the bunk room for hanging out while the parents enjoyed beers on the sunny patio. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Witt

Host profile image
We are Rachel, Jason, Cooper & Kalani Witt! We travel seasonally for work, and get to use this beach house during our off-season. We spend much of the year driving around the country, but truly there is no place like home, and Oceanside has been our home for eight years. We will give you the inside scoop on our all of our favorite places and spaces around town. We hope you fall in love with Oceanside as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

Location is everything with this property. Not only because you are walking distance to everything you need, but because there is a really cool vibe to this small slice of Oceanside. It has a small-town locals atmosphere with friendly neighbors and smiling faces, but also gives you the privacy of a home along with the hustle and bustle of downtown. Tyson Beach access is just around the corner. It's also our favorite beach because it has the park for kids and dogs, along with the pier, showers, bathrooms, and beach vendors that make vacation easy.

What makes this property unique

We love to spend our time outdoors. We designed the outdoor patio, which looks in to the living room and kitchen, in such a way that the whole house feels connected to the outdoors. Enjoy the sunlight and cool breeze that reminds you that you are on vacation!
