About this property

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.

Honeymoon Getaway
Loved the landscaping of the property, so lush and green. Enjoyed the hot tub every night! The property owners were wonderful about accommodating our special scheduling needs and were readily available when we had questions. The bed was sooo comfortable! Loved sitting out on the patio, enjoying the sunsets and listening to the ocean. Highly recommend this property for your next vacation!

Perfect Get Away
The unit was perfect for us. Well stocked with just about everything you can think you might need. Walking distance to the Marina and the Pier. The owners were very accurate with the description of the property and what to expect while staying there. Easy check in and check out. Beach supplies and toys readily available. Loved the stay and we will be back!

Everything you could want steps from the beach
This was a well appointed one bedroom condo with a pull out queen sofa couch. Everything was clean and organized with everything you could need amenities wise for a flawless stay. The porch faces the west harbor side of the beach and offers ocean sounds and views. We had a spectacular time.

bad luck
When we are looking for a place we read the reviews. The previous reviews were pretty accurate. It was well supplied, which it should be in this price range. It was off the beach but you could see and hear the water. It was clean, although I gave it a two, which I'll explain. There were ants not an occasional ant but no matter how hard we cleaned the kitchen several mornings there were hundreds of ants on the countertop and in the sink. We reread the reviews thinking we had missed this but there was no mention of ants. The owner called to see how things were going and we explained the above to her. She was very apologetic and said this rarely happens and we believe her but it happened to us and we feel obligated to give future guests a heads up. By the end of our stay there were just a few in the morning. Go figure.

Her and her husband do a very good job of maintaining a wonderful little get away retreat . The cottage was so comfy & very clean and also super close to the sandy beach . We will definitely be going back !

Nice Relaxing Stay
This was not our first time renting a condo at this village. We love the convenience of everything- the pool, hot tub, beach, activities, restaurants etc. But this was the first time we had such a caring communicating owner. Joyce was in contact with me from the moment I rented the condo to make sure we had everything we needed and give suggestions on places for eating, shopping etc. Not overbearing, just there if/when we needed. We look forward to our next stay in E3!

Amazing Beachfront Vacation
Joyce and Bob’s place is truly one of a kind. The location cannot be beat, as it’s a stone’s throw to a wonderful beach and a short walk to the darling harbor area with shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the sunset from the patio each night, and will absolutely be back - Joyce and Bob are great hosts and lovely people.

Sunset Paradise
We loved this getaway by the sea. The sunsets were spectacular. We were going to eat out every night because we hadn’t been out forever due to covid but we only ended up eating out once and we cooked in the rest of the time because we didn’t want to miss a sunset. The grounds and pool were beautiful and did give us a feel of Hawaii with the beautiful breezes! The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean! We can’t wait to go back!

Perfect location / 2nd time to this complex / Can't do much better!!!
A very nicely appointed property with a location steps from the beach, great views all day and a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Owners checked in on us to make sure we were OK. Unit had all the essentials for beach and pool fun. We didn't use the BBQ, but it was available. Stayed in this same complex last year and would keep recommending it. Walked to multiple restaurants from complex in harbor and in "downtown" Oceanside. Weather was unusually hot so not having AC was a little bummer but not unexpected and just gave us more reason to get in the ocean or pool. All-in-all a great spot for a relaxing family vacation. We would not hesitate to return again.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce & Bob Simpson

Host profile image
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!
