About this property

Family Friendly, 8 Br Beachfront House, Fire Ring in Sand, Walk to Restaurants

If you're looking for one of the largest oceanfront beach houses in Oceanside for a family reunion, multi-family vacation, or group getaway, you've found it. This well-loved 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom beachfront home sits directly on the ocean with panoramic Pacific Ocean views, a private sandy yard, and room for up to 16 guests.

This is not a luxury home—it's a comfortable, clean, and well-maintained family beach house that has created decades of unforgettable memories. Like many homes right on the ocean, it shows some normal coastal wear and is a bit worn around the edges in places. Guests choose this property because of its incredible size, unbeatable beachfront location, spacious gathering areas, and true Southern California beach lifestyle.

One of the home's biggest highlights is its rare location. There is no street between the house and the beach—step outside to the backyard sand, enjoy panoramic ocean views, watch surfers and dolphins throughout the day, and end each evening with spectacular sunsets.

The main living room is designed for gathering, featuring a dramatic 20-foot sliding glass wall that opens to the ocean, filling the home with sea breezes and the sound of crashing waves. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing after dinner, the Pacific Ocean is always front and center.

The spacious kitchen includes quartz countertops, a large island, and everything needed to prepare meals for large groups. A second full kitchen downstairs makes it easy for multiple families or generations to vacation together while enjoying extra convenience.

With eight bedrooms spread across three levels, everyone has room to spread out while still spending time together. Sleeping up to 16 guests, this is one of Oceanside's best options for large families, reunions, sports teams, wedding groups, and friends traveling together.

Outside, the private oceanfront yard is where many guests spend most of their vacation. Enjoy meals overlooking the ocean, relax around the fire pit, watch the waves roll in, or simply let the kids play while you soak in the coastal views.

The location couldn't be better. Walk to Oceanside's restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, the Pier, and Harbor. You're also within easy driving distance of LEGOLAND California, SEA LIFE Aquarium, the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and many of Southern California's top attractions.

The home includes high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, and other beach essentials to help you settle in and start enjoying your vacation immediately.

If your priority is a spotless, comfortable, spacious beach house where your entire group can stay together right on the sand, this home is hard to beat. It isn't a luxury showcase—it is a classic, well-loved beachfront home that delivers what matters most: incredible ocean views, room for everyone, a private beachfront yard, and memories your family will treasure for years to come.

Public beach access at low tide is five houses north at the Marron Street stone steps. The beach area near the pier has dry sand year round

Lovely setting for my women's retreat! It provided different settings for various exercises planned inside and out - Moon ceremony, breathwork, mediation, yoga, and great lighting for a photo shoot. The home was perfect in every way! (One room downstairs didn't have air but we used that room as our set-up storage room so it turned out perfect for us)

Great house on the beach

Our family very much enjoyed our stay in Oceanside this past week. House is exactly as described and would stay here again. Only bummer is the beach in front of the house is all rocks and no sand, but the sandy part of the beach is a short walk away.
