We stayed 4 nights at the Townsite condo in NCV (unit B-305) in early July 2019 and loved it. The view from the balcony is legit and just like the pictures. It's only a 5 minute walk to Breakwater Beach with a half mile of sand between the condos and the Oceanside Pier. We used the included beach-ready folding wagon to easily haul our stuff to the beach. Also included were beach towels, 3 beach chairs, lots of sand toys, a small cooler and an umbrella. The umbrella could be upgraded to a screw-in version to stay in the sand. The condo itself is cozy and homey. The king-size bed in the bedroom is a plus and comfy, and the room is good enough size to fit the bed with walk-around room. The newly tiled bathroom area and shower were also very nice and clean. We used the hide-a-bed in the couch, also, and it was actually not bad to sleep on. There is no air conditioning, but we kept the fans on all day & night and were comfortable. The kitchen area is small, but well stocked for cooking or preparing. They could add a cookie sheet or two. The newer dishwasher was very quiet.
The NCV itself is wonderful. Clean & secure parking area, beautiful grounds, huge, warm pool, two game rooms, Koi pond with $0.25 feeder, BBQ area, close to the beach & pier, and also close to the Harbor Marina. We will be back, and if this unit is available we will stay here again!
