About this property

"The Palm," Ocean View Steps from Beach

"The Palm" provides a great space for families and groups of friends where there is something to keep everyone entertained. The kitchen and living room windows face a spacious yard for lounging & barbecuing against a backdrop of ocean views. The open floor plan allows for the kitchen, living room, and outdoor patio to form a communal space. Flooring, kitchen, windows, and furniture are new. Two bedrooms feature queen beds. The 3rd bedroom has a studio floorplan with small kitchen and enclosed yard, privacy. We rent another 2-BR house next door, great for hosting multi-family gatherings.

A stay at The Palm does not require a car--the beach, restaurants, movie theaters, and shopping are all within walking distance. The beach access at Tyson Park is just across the street, with jungle gyms, showers, food vendors, pier, strand, parks, etc all easily accessible. Behind the house, the tunnel leads directly to the coaster (train) platform that easily takes you to downtown San Diego, airport, Old Town, Balboa Park, etc.
Guests have access to off-street parking, local beach access, washer/dryer, stocked kitchen, and all of our locals recommendations!
We have a keypad code entry so your arrival time is flexible. We live close by and while we prefer to give our guests privacy and stay out of their way, we are always available to help with any concerns that may arise.
The neighborhood is friendly, with passers-by generally consisting of local residents (families, young people) and vacation renters.
You can walk just about anywhere (beach, restaurants, shopping, entertainment) and the nearby train station will take you to destinations throughout San Diego and LA counties.
We've enjoyed many a summer day and bonfire night here at "The Palm" throughout the renovation process. We highly recommend this house to live up to the spirit of vacation with the comforts of home!

Perfect Oceanside Retreat
We were in the area for a wedding. The Palm served as the home base for all of our family. We took advantage of the outdoor space, proximity to the beach and local restaurants. We ranged in age from 25-90 and enjoyed having two separate units. Fantastic experience!

Great Location
We had a great family trip at this beach bungalow! There were a few things that could be updated in the house and that is the only reason I'm giving this a 4 out of 5. Everything else was great! Pros: 1)The outside area was awesome and had slight ocean view 2) The hot tub worked great and was very nice 3) The location was excellent, walkable to the beach and shops/restaurants 4) The mini splits were great, we came during a cold week! Cons: 1) The Dishwasher is a little rough, the door slams down and is very heavy 2) The washing machine needs work, we couldn't do laundry while we were in the house, It is so loud it sounds like its going to explode 3) The back shower has some cracking in the wall and I noticed some water running through the cracks which can lead to mold. Overall, I think with some slight updates the place is easily a 5 out of 5. You can hear the train clearly however, we knew that before booking!

We loved this place!!
We were in need of an escape from the fire in Northern California and this place was perfect for our needs. It's a cool little beach house nice and close to the beach and a lot of places to eat. The property manager was very helpful if we needed anything but there really wasnt much of anything. Great place and I will definitely stay here again.

Cool spot, but left a bit to be desiered
Pros: the proximity to the beach is awesome, it's an easy walk to downtown, the pier is close, playgrounds are close and it's convenient to get to the freeway to get to other places in greater SD, they just updated the inside and it was great for a beach cottage, the property manager was awesome and they genuinely seemed like good property managers. Cons: the description understates the proximity to the train - it's literally 20ish feet behind the house, it's loud, and it was a bit scary since our little one constantly wanted to go to the tracks to see the train, no A/C and the fans are insufficient - outside would cool down and we were roasting in the house each night, missing blinds on one of the windows facing the street - we covered it with Aluminum foil for the duration of our stay, generally speaking, it seemed like it was still a work in progress. *aside from the train these are all very solvable and I imagine as they make progress on the house they'll become non-issues.

Nice little get-a-way house.
Had a fantastic time. One block from the beach, 3 blocks from the pier, and everything else was just a short drive. Will be back again.

Can we just move in forever!!!
We arrived to PARADISE!!! This was my families best ever vacation rental in Southern California! One block to the beach, 2 blocks to downtown and all the activities, street fair, theater . . . and taking the train anywhere else we wanted to go. Our dog even had his best vacation - a yard, a dog beach/park! The house is so fresh & clean, laid out so that anybody cooking is part of what's going on inside or outside - the views from the house and yard - - - SUNSETS are amazing. Jason & Rachel gave us all kinds of suggestions for the kids and adults, they have been very thoughtful when considering what their guests want to find in the kitchen and the house. We could hang out on the patio lounge area or kick back and watch movies in the comfy living room. Did I mention "can we just move in forever"! We will be back and highly recommend this rental for adult couples & families! Thanks Jason & Rachel for putting together this sweet spot!

Great long weekend!
House looks just like the pictures. Cute furnishings, clean and a great space to call home base. We walked to everything. 2 blocks easy walk to the beach and can see the ocean from the yard and kitchen. Restaurants all within walking. Owners were super responsive and helpful. Thanks for a great time!

Picture Perfect!
What a beautiful little home that's only a Block from the beach! I love the Huge kitchen & All the big windows. The Fresh Ocean breeze. The lovely sun shining in. Music flowing, creating Family Memories. We comfortably fit our family a 5, With a 2 year old toddler! It was Spacious and Clean. Upgraded amenities were a Plus! The home owners are are so Gracious, Personable & Friendly! There's also a huge place to sit and gather outside by a fire....while the smell of the sea blows by in a breeze! So so lovely! Local coffee shop was a Plus, when I wasn't brewing my own pot! You'll be centrally located to tons of great spots to eat if you should decide to go out for a bite. I can't say enough. We will be back to this home in Oceanside, for All Our Stays in the San Diego area. ☆☆☆☆☆ Thank You Again!!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Witt

Host profile image
We are the Witts! We've lived in Oceanside for about eight years. We began renting our own home on VRBO about six years ago and never looked back! We have since invested in a couple more "fixer-uppers" and put in our own blood, sweat, and tears to renovate them and get them vacation rental ready. We invested in this home with Jason's father, Jerry, who lives in central California.

Why they chose this property

Location! Not only does this property have an epic ocean view, but it's right off the Tyson Park stairs, which is a great part of Oceanside beach. We love to take our son to the park and strand there. We were also drawn to the house because it's easy to hop on the train and go just about anywhere in southern California.

What makes this property unique

We love Oceanside and we have all kinds of great places and spaces to recommend to all types of travelers. Want the best coffee shop? Best place to bring pets? Best sushi? Best bike trails? Best shortcuts into town? We've got all the insider tips in our guest book!
