Location! This rental is walking distance to everything in the heart of Oceanside. Steps to the beach, short walk to all restraunts in downtown Oceanside, .75 miles to the harbor. Rental was plenty big for 2 adults. Highly recommended! Perfect place to stay for a wonderful getaway!

This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Great house! Nothing beats the location. We took our toddler and pup for a quick getaway and they loved it. 3 minute walk from the beautiful beach and closer to the Carlsbad village. Clarissa was a GREAT host. So friendly and responsive. The house has everything you need and want out of a beach house. The house is so charming and beautiful… we will definitely stay here again!!!

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsCharming 2-bedroom house, 2 blocks from the beach
This little beach house is a bit of an oasis in the middle of a very densely packed, vacation rental area of Carlsbad. The house sits on a good sized lot that is nicely landscaped and private with abundant outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful weather. The pool and patio area provided lots of fun entertainment for our grandkids! The house was very clean and well maintained. It is an older beach home that has had nice updates to the two bathrooms- modern tile in the shower, tub area and floors. Also the frameless glass in the master bath shower was very appreciated. You can park the car and walk to everything in Carlsbad village and the beach is a block and a half away! The only negative is the close proximity to the noisy train. The train itself doesn’t disturb so much, but the horn blasts are quite irritating. You will encounter this problem in many locations close to the beach. Overall a great place to stay in Carlsbad.

Townhouse
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviewsNEW OCEAN FRONT - 2 Bedroom plus 2 lofts
My husband and I along with our two younger girls had the pleasure of staying at this great home. There is nothing better than going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The view was wonderful and having coffee in the morning on the balcony was awesome. The house was very nice and clean and had everything you need. It was great to have the ability to walk down the pathway to the set of stairs that takes you right down to the beach. There are a lot of great restaurants in walking distance too! The condo felt very private and had very comfortable beds and a great large couch. The girls liked sleeping in the little loft on the top level ..We will definitely be back .. thank you Renee !

Christie’s place is comfortable and we slept very well. We had to move the coffee table to open the sleeper sofa, which is very heavy and hard to move, and could be an issue for some people, but we moved it once and just left it over to the side. A few things were rusty and moldy in the kitchen but I informed Christy and she immediately send new things over which was really nice. Otherwise the place was very clean and comfortable. The complex is very pretty with exotic leafy foliage everywhere and the kids loved the pool and hot tub. Unfortunately it was cold and foggy when we’re there but if it had been sunny it would have been a great trip as the beach and waves are lovely. One more thing to know-the parking garage height is 6’6” so our small car with a cargo container on top wouldn’t fit. We had to park elsewhere. Christy has a wagon which was helpful for bringing all our stuff up from the car. Thanks Christy!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 110 reviewsLuxurious and Spacious Condo steps from the Beach
This was our third Christmas stay at Abraham’s and we’ve always appreciated our stay. The unit has everything you’d need for meal prep. Layout of two bedrooms with door separating main living area is so nice to keep quiet for little ones early bedtimes. We love sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Extremely easy to walk everywhere in Oceanside. Condo complex is beautiful inside and feels very private despite size. Pool and hot tub are pluses! Love, love, love Oceanside. Low key beach town. Places we’d reco: Mostly EBikes for rentals; Zigzag pizza; Oceanside night market; crossaints at Petit Madeline’s; Parlor Donuts; The Fish Shop (Encinitas). Highly recommend!

Perfect Stay for a Beach Getaway! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay in Ocean Beach! From the moment we arrived, everything felt just right. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had that perfect laid-back beach vibe. It had everything we needed – a cozy bed, well-stocked kitchen, and a front porch where we could sip coffee and watch the sunset. The location was unbeatable – just a short walk to the beach, great restaurants, and local shops. We loved how quiet and peaceful it was at night, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The host was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, which made our stay even better. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. My girlfriend and I already miss it and are counting down the days until we can come back. Highly recommend for couples looking for a perfect beach escape!

Great location, clean, and well equipped. Grocery stores, restaurants, and points of interest are within walking distance. Clean comfortable beddings. Nicely appointed decor. The short walk to the beach in the morning was a great start to each day! We would definitely stay here again in the future.

4.77 out of 5 average rating, 137 reviewsSouth Oceanside Rare Tropical Beach Hideaway
This was a true 5 star place. You get the entire property to yourself and the surrounding gates/plants make it feel very private. That said, the location is great because everything you need is in walking distance; eats, coffee, beach, corner store. The best part is the house is located in an area the passing trains aren’t allowed to blow their horns so you won’t get woken up by them if you aren’t used to it. My kid had fun walking down the block to watch them pass during the day. Amazing amenities included; covered garage for parking, grass lawn, outside table with umbrella, hammock, tv inside, huge bathtub with shower and fully stocked kitchen with numerous appliances. The bed sheets were actual bed sheets! Not the cheap paper kind every other single airbnb tends to provide. Plenty of pillows and towels. Comfortable couch and bean bag chair. Host was extremely kind and responsive. Great place for singles, couples or families. We will be staying here again, no doubt!

Cottage
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 59 reviews~ONE DOOR TO SHORE~ Charming single fam BeachHouse
Cindy is a wonderful host! The home is beautifully located in N mission beach. Walking distance to everything you need. Home is cute and cozy. Home was still being renovated due to a delay in timeline. I did not know upon arrival, and that affected the cleanliness slightly due to wood dust and a few quirky things that will be fixed once updates are complete. This home is an original cottage in the midst of modern builds. It is quaint and nostalgic. Rooftop patio is fun too! Cindy took my small critiques nicely, and helped with any issues promptly. We had mostly overcast days, so we have to come back and catch more sunsets on the boardwalk!!
