BEST SPOT ON BEACH: E3 North Coast Village...ground floor cottage
Our 1-BR condo is a remodeled deluxe 'Cottage' unit in North Coast Village. This means that you can access our place from the outdoors...front or back. There are no stairs to climb or interior halls to walk through. We sit on the ground floor on a greenbelt. You will have the feeling of a spacious semi-private backyard sitting on the beach. We have a great 180 degree UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW!. Top photo: taken from our patio. You can hear the waves and watch the surfers from our patio. We have the sunset view. Just in front of us is the Estuary (where the river meets the ocean and the birds nest in sanctuary) and to the right of us the Harbor is visible. Our sliding glass door is keyed so you can walk out your door and go right to the beach. We sit directly on the sand! Oceanside boasts some of the finest white sandy beaches in Southern California with great surfing and swimming areas. (To continue...see 'further details.')
The Beach is great for taking walks! Beach chairs and towels are provided. We have a nice patio set on our deck as we spend most of our time there from sun up to sunset. You'll enjoy barbecuing outside and toasting the end of the day while you watch the sun go down over the ocean. Inside our Vacation Home: photos show the living room and bar area and our kitchen. Our newly remodeled 1-bdrm condo is smoke-free and sleeps 4. The living room has a a fireplace, queen size sofa bed and swivel chairs. We also have a nice dining room set in a separate area. Everything is new and fresh. We have mirrors and art throughout. There are 2 new flat screen TVs(with cable),, DVD, CD, wireless internet, and 2 phones. The kitchen is light and airy and fully equipped including a microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen was recently remodeled with all new appliances. We enjoy cooking and entertaining and we have what you might need to make your visit comfortable.
Our bedroom which contains a new cal-king size bed with new bedding. The ceiling fan offers a nice gentle breeze. There is a TV phone, and a desk (with WiFi for you computer.) The bed and desk look out onto our front garden. If you open the window, you will enjoy the sights and sounds of the stream outside the bedroom window. Our bathroom and vanity areas are separated from each other for maximum usability. Our linens are new.
We have been told by several that this is the best one bedroom unit in North Coast Village. They were referring to the location and the decor. We have created a special indoor/outdoor environment. Our cottage condo is truly 'a great escape'. Contact us for more information.
Amenities: Beautiful North Coast Village resort-style complex: Lush grounds with waterfalls, streams and Japanese Koi fish ponds, gorgeous resort style large swimming pool, separate grotto-like jacuzzi, recreation room with billiards and table tennis, fitness room, sauna, putting green, and clean laundry facilities. We are fortunate to have two (2) covered parking spaces in the gated garage. Activities: We are located a five minute walk from the Oceanside Harbor where you can rent kayaks, jet skis, go on a dinner cruise or a chartered fishing boat. There are shops and restaurants of all sorts in this charming Cape Cod style harbor. We are a 20 minute walk to the pier where you can walk, fish or take in a meal. You can also walk to the train station. Area: Oceanside is conveniently located for easy day trips by train or car to: Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, Del Mar Race Track, and Tijuana, Mexico.

About the host
Hosted by Joyce & Bob Simpson
Owned by Bob & Joyce Simpson since 1989. We live an hour north of Oceanside and have designed our condo as a welcome retreat. We go and visit whenever we don't have rentals and we take good care of it. As marriage & family therapists, we know the value of getting-away to a peaceful setting.We have vacationed in Hawaii many times and when we are at the beach in Oceanside, it feels like a little bit of Hawaii. We plug in our i-phones and play soft music (or Hawaiian music) and let the sound of the waves and the beautiful sunsets over the water do the rest to soothe our souls. Of course, we also enjoy our condo when we can bring our grandchildren down there and that creates an entirely different feel. There is so much to do with kids from ocean sports to kite flying, to fishing to biking and, of course eating out! Lots of fun activities for all ages!
Why they chose this property
Great beach...feels like Hawaii! Peaceful, quiet & relaxing! Easy access to the beach.
Indoor / outdoor living. I enjoy watching the birds fly over from the estuary. There is no one in front of us. It feels very private. Nice yard and then there is the beach!
