About this property

Room with a view and right on the sand!

This beautiful home is just seconds away from the sand and offers seaside elegance, convenience, and safety. As a mom of four and an interior designer, the owner made every effort to bring serenity and functionality into the decor. She also created a desirable kitchen for the nights you wish to stay in and grill, which is located on the private balcony. If cooking isn't what you envision for a vacation, there are plenty of fun restaurants, bars, and breweries within walking distance. Kids getting antsy for some beach time? There are plenty of beach toys, towels and boogie boards. Parents can keep a watchful eye on them from the balcony. It is the perfect vacation - From the front door, your feet will get sandy in 30 seconds!

The perfect beach stay EVER. The location to the beach, pier, harbor etc is PERFECT. We had our own courtyard with a locket gate so our littles couldn’t escape, we had a dreamy deck to watch the waves and the sunset and we all had plenty of space! We also loved grilling at sunset while watching a movie. Such a kid friendly space. We will definitely rent again!!

Enjoyed our stay once again. Mindy was very responsive to the only issue we had (coffee maker). She replaced it immediately. Can’t say enough about Mindy, the residence, the location and overall experience.

Perfect Vacation
Everything was perfect about our stay. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The gated courtyard made us feel safe and the parking was beyond convenient. The view was spectacular and the property itself was immaculate and comfortable. The location was perfect to walk to town or the harbor.

Great Condo and Location
This condo was great and we have already booked again for next year. The location is only steps from the beach which is the best part. If you are looking for a beach condo - this is definitely one to book.

Great Condo
We loved our time at the condo. The place is very well taken care of and you can not beat the location. Wish there was a shower in the 3rd bathroom, but we knew about it before we went. We have stayed at many places in Oceanside and this was by far the best stocked for the vacationer. The only con I can come up with is needing a door on the masterbath. Otherwise, a super place and super people to work with.

Perfect Getaway
We had a lovely stay. Mindy was great to work with and she was quick to respond to our questions. The condo was located right across from the beach (small one way road to cross). It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked, making us feel like we were in our own home. It was perfect for our stay. We will definitely stay again. Thanks Mindy, we had a fun time!

Oceanside Dream
Amazing location. Spacious and clean. Very welcoming and responsive to questions. We loved staying right across the street from the sand and the waves. One of our highlights was visiting the Thursday sunset market, which happens every week and is within walking distance from the property.

After Christmas Stay
This is a great property with an excellent location between the harbor and the pier as well as being close to many restaurants. It was very well appointed with an amazing kitchen that was well stocked. It was very private and very quiet. Mindy was an excellent host and very easy to communicate with.

Beautiful spot on the beach
This was our second year in a row staying at Mindys. We love the location and close proximity to the beach and pier. The house is beautiful and comfortable, perfect for our yearly week at the beach. We were able to walk to local restaurants and coffee shops, and check out the murals and architecture in the growing town of Oceanside! We hope to make it a yearly tradition and continue to enjoy the amazing views from the house.

Repeat Visit x3
We love our summer time in Oceanside!! Wish we didn’t have to head home. New attraction this time was the Oceanside Rock Garden at the traffic circle on Surfrider and The Strand. We spent time making a contribution and loved it! Mindy and Bob’s place has the best views and we love it!!!

STOP! This is exactly what you are looking for!
While pictures may paint thousand words, pictures and thousands of words here are not enough to capture the perfection of this home, its location, or the care and communication of the owner. With so much to do and much of it within walking g distance, my family and I encourage you to explore the shops, take in the tastes of the local restaurants (The Flying Pig, The Local Tap House, Johnny Manana’s, Angelo’s, and Swami’s some of my favorites), enjoy walks along the beach at all hours, take in the pier and some fishing off it (no license required $8 an hour pole rental), the marina is a short distance away (boat, wave runner, and kayak rentals) with more dinning options, and be sure not to mush Thursday’s farmers market. I could go on and on, but hey, just book a week and check it out for yourself.
