About this property
The Pier House | A Luxury Oceanfront Penthouse
Summary:
Wake up to the Pacific from your penthouse above Oceanside City Beach -- one of Oceanside's best stretches of sand, right below your balcony. Step outside and you're on The Strand. Walk north 10 minutes to the Oceanside Pier, the harbor breweries, and downtown's surf shops and restaurants. Walk back and watch the sunset from your private balcony with a glass of wine. That's the Pier House rhythm.
The Space:
A top-floor condo with panoramic ocean views from the living room and private balcony. The recent kitchen renovation features new cabinetry, stainless appliances, a gas stove, and a Keurig --
everything you need before a morning surf session or a long beach day.
Two bedrooms sleep up to 4 comfortably, with sofa options for up to 6. The in-unit washer and dryer means you can pack light -- bring the family, stay the week.
What sets this apart from every other beach rental:
[+] Air conditioned -- the only thing you'll miss in an un-cooled beach condo is sleep
[+] Verified 201 Mbps WiFi -- fastest in the building (tested)
[+] In-unit washer & dryer -- no coin laundry, no laundromat runs
[+] Fully renovated kitchen (2024) with gas stove and full appliances
[+] Private balcony with direct ocean view
[+] Single-level -- no stairs in the unit
The Neighborhood:
You're on The Strand at Oceanside City Beach -- central Oceanside, where the locals are. The Oceanside Pier and downtown are a 10-minute walk north. The harbor and its restaurants are a 15-minute walk north.
Carlsbad Village is 10 minutes by car.
Nearby: 333 Pacific (fine dining), Pizza Port, Craft Coast Beer & Tacos, Iron Fist Brewing, and the iconic Top Gun house (yes, really).
Regional day trips: San Diego (35 min), LEGOLAND (15 min), Disneyland (50 min).

Thank you, Charles, for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the beach house and the beautiful view. It’s great to know our team could assist during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.
The view was outstanding and the host’s communication was excellent! The bedrooms and kitchen was very nice. The bathroom was outdated, but it was functional. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you!
Our stay was such fun. The location is perfect for walking into town for coffee or dinner. The view was incredible and we were happy about all the amenities.
Nick was very nice and communicative from the start. The location is convenient, great for surfing, easy walk to the pier. The house was clean. Parking right at the front door. Thank you for a great stay
We had a wonderful stay! The condo was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable, with an absolutely stunning ocean and beach view. The balcony was a highlight. We loved the seating out there for relaxing and taking in the scenery. The location was perfect, and the unit had all the amenities we could possibly need. Communication with the host was easy, and the instruction manual was clear and helpful. We’d love to stay here again!
Property was in a great location! The beach is just outside your back door!! Very spacious and clean! Any amenities that we needed were provided… very happy with this stay!
Great location. Close proximity to the pier & restaurants. All within walking distance. Airy apartment with lots of windows facing the ocean and beautiful sunsets.
Very great views and the location was great. Lamp shades were dusty and a few other furniture pieces that caused my allergies to flare, but the rest of the home was clean.
Spacious and oceanfront. Right on the strand but up above all the hustle and bustle below. The view is beautiful. Property is easy access and parking, walking distance to the pier and all the restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay there again.
This condo opens directly out onto the ocean with an unobstructed view over one of the most popular surf breaks. It’s an older building that’s been remodeled with all the modern touches. Very clean and well appointed. Very close walking distance to everything along the main strand. We had a great stay.
My self and friends went down to Oceanside to celebrate my birthday for a weekend. We wanted a relaxing beach trip with an ocean view. This property did not disappoint. It was a beautiful view with walking distance to everything including sandy beaches, restaurants, coffee, and the pier. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. I would definitely stay here again.
Loved this property!! Perfect location with amazing view of the water and great balcony! Large open living area with plenty of room to spread out. Bedrooms good sized with comfy beds. Easy walk to the beach and downtown restaurants. Very attentive and accommodating host. Everything you need for the beach included! Thanks so much! Will definitely return!!
