About this property

Cozy Beach Cottage w/ Private Patio – Walk to Beach, Pier, Dining & Shops

Charming Beach Cottage – Steps to Beach, Pier & Dining!
Wake up and enjoy ocean breezes from your private patio. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. This cozy, family-friendly cottage is a very short walk (even for kids) to the pier, local restaurants, movie theater, and train station.

Perfectly located to explore all that Oceanside, San Diego, and Orange County have to offer. Relax on the patio, stroll to sunset dinners, or hop the train for coastal adventures. Ideal for couples or small families looking for a comfortable, beach-close escape.

Why the Owner Chose Oceanside:
We fell in love with Oceanside’s laid-back coastal charm. It’s the perfect location to explore all that Southern California offers — just a short trip north to Orange County or south to San Diego.

Oceanside has something for everyone: beautiful beaches, a lively harbor, great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and unique local stores. We love strolling the Thursday morning Farmers Market and Sunset Market on Thursday nights, riding bikes along the Strand, and catching sunsets at the harbor or pier.

When we’re feeling adventurous, we hop on the Coaster train for a day in San Diego to enjoy the art, culture, and entertainment — then return to our relaxed beach community to unwind.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
Everything you need for a relaxing stay is right here.
Walk to the beach, pier, and restaurants — all just minutes away. Enjoy your private backyard patio with comfortable seating, a large gas grill, and ambiance lighting for evening family dinners.

After a fun day on the sand, refresh in the outdoor shower and listen to the sound of the waves from the patio as you unwind. It’s a true beach house — perfect for a family getaway, couples retreat, or weekend escape in the heart of Oceanside.

Description matches!

Great place in close proximity to everything oceanside has to offer. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, the beach! To note though, as another reviewer mentioned, it is across from the nearby train station and a parking lot. Noise from both was generally minimal aside from the occasional train horn/freight train passing, but the lot seemed to be a local hang out place for a homeless person or two while we were staying there.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Adrienne Petersen

We love the beach, the weather and the laid-back attitude of the beach community. Oceanside is our "home away from home." Our kids have grown up swimming, biking, learning to surf and playing in the sand and waves of Oceanside beach.

Why they chose this property

This house is a quaint beach cottage. It's open and comfortable for our family. It's the perfect size and location for a family get-away. Close enough to walk to the beach, the down town, and restaurants. We love to take the train to San Diego. It has been fun to watch Oceanside evolve into the perfect beach community with plenty of great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Beach, Pier, restaurants all a very short walk away... even for kids. private patio in back for outdoor seating. The gated yard makes this house ideal for pets and privacy. A true beach house. Great for family or a quiet retreat.
