About this property

The Pier House | A Luxury Oceanfront Penthouse

Summary:

Wake up to the Pacific from your penthouse above Oceanside City Beach -- one of Oceanside's best stretches of sand, right below your balcony. Step outside and you're on The Strand. Walk north 10 minutes to the Oceanside Pier, the harbor breweries, and downtown's surf shops and restaurants. Walk back and watch the sunset from your private balcony with a glass of wine. That's the Pier House rhythm.



The Space:

A top-floor condo with panoramic ocean views from the living room and private balcony. The recent kitchen renovation features new cabinetry, stainless appliances, a gas stove, and a Keurig --

everything you need before a morning surf session or a long beach day.



Two bedrooms sleep up to 4 comfortably, with sofa options for up to 6. The in-unit washer and dryer means you can pack light -- bring the family, stay the week.



What sets this apart from every other beach rental:



[+] Air conditioned -- the only thing you'll miss in an un-cooled beach condo is sleep

[+] Verified 201 Mbps WiFi -- fastest in the building (tested)

[+] In-unit washer & dryer -- no coin laundry, no laundromat runs

[+] Fully renovated kitchen (2024) with gas stove and full appliances

[+] Private balcony with direct ocean view

[+] Single-level -- no stairs in the unit



The Neighborhood:

You're on The Strand at Oceanside City Beach -- central Oceanside, where the locals are. The Oceanside Pier and downtown are a 10-minute walk north. The harbor and its restaurants are a 15-minute walk north.

Carlsbad Village is 10 minutes by car.



Nearby: 333 Pacific (fine dining), Pizza Port, Craft Coast Beer & Tacos, Iron Fist Brewing, and the iconic Top Gun house (yes, really).



Regional day trips: San Diego (35 min), LEGOLAND (15 min), Disneyland (50 min).



Other Things to Note:

There is possible construction noise from our neighbor Mon - Sat during work hours. By booking, you are aware that loud noise won't be an issue for you and there will be no discounts or refunds given if construction occurs during your stay.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The property is precisely as advertised… What you don’t know from the listing is that Nick was an amazing host. It’s hard to be the client in the vacation rental and I suspect it’s hard to be the host as well but Nick made it feel more like I was renting from an old college buddy and he really cared whether we were happy staying in his beach house.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable, with an absolutely stunning ocean and beach view. The balcony was a highlight. We loved the seating out there for relaxing and taking in the scenery. The location was perfect, and the unit had all the amenities we could possibly need. Communication with the host was easy, and the instruction manual was clear and helpful. We’d love to stay here again!

Spacious and oceanfront. Right on the strand but up above all the hustle and bustle below. The view is beautiful. Property is easy access and parking, walking distance to the pier and all the restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay there again.

Great view condo in Oceanside

This condo opens directly out onto the ocean with an unobstructed view over one of the most popular surf breaks. It’s an older building that’s been remodeled with all the modern touches. Very clean and well appointed. Very close walking distance to everything along the main strand. We had a great stay.

Birthday getaway

My self and friends went down to Oceanside to celebrate my birthday for a weekend. We wanted a relaxing beach trip with an ocean view. This property did not disappoint. It was a beautiful view with walking distance to everything including sandy beaches, restaurants, coffee, and the pier. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. I would definitely stay here again.
