Perfect for families with kids

We had a great stay! We had 5 adults and 5 kids ages 7-3 and the house was perfect for us. We enjoyed relaxing on the front patio and the adults enjoyed hanging out and playing games on the rooftop after the kids went to bed. We enjoyed the shuffleboard table and the puzzles and the big dining room table with plenty of room for all of us to sit down together.

Big beautiful house!

Very large and clean house right in the heart of Oceanside. We walked to the pier ( 5 minutes away or less) to watch the sunset each night. Beds were super comfortable, and we were very happy with the house. The owners were very pleasant to deal with. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing vacation home

This was mine and my family’s first stay in Oceanside and we could not have asked for a better location, home, or property manager. This home is as beautiful as it looks online, and truly felt like our home away from home. Bob was absolutely amazing to work with as well and made shoes everything was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing home

We had a wonderful time with our son and his family while visiting Oceanside! This home is exactly as offered. Beautiful, clean, and all the extras needed for our 2 year old granddaughter and 11 month old grandson. Close to the ocean as well as restaurants, breweries and shops.Our only disappointment was that the Thursday evening Sunset Market was canceled because of the rain!We will definitely stay here again. Bob was very attentive and quick to answer questions!Thank you!

Perfect location

This was a perfect location for us! We didn't need a car at all and walked to all food, shopping, and beach activities. The area was very pretty. It felt very safe, and we thoroughly enjoyed our first view of California. The host was responsive when I had a question, and while we were not there long enough to use the beach accessories in the garage, that certainly would be a plus for a longer stay! Would stay here again :)

Fantastic Property Near Beach and Restaurants

Lucy's place was the perfect getaway for our two families. The host was easy to get a hold of, accommodating, and sent us great directions. The house is beautiful with ample space and amenities. It was very convenient to have the garage stocked with beach items such as sandtoys, a wagon, and chairs. We loved walking to the beach and checking out the nearby restaurants. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend this house to anyone looking to have a fun and relaxing vacation.

Unforgettable vacation!!!

The beach house was amazing and wonderfully located, We walked to the beaches and to a different restaurant each night. The kitchen is nicely furnished with a very large table, high chair, television and all the cooking items needed, The linens are high end and super comfortable. We enjoyed the outside spaces every morning for coffee on the rooftop. The seating in the front of the house leads itself to people watching and just relaxing with a book. Robert was super accommodating!!! We hope to make this an annual family vaction spot.

Outstanding Property

Lucy's House is attractive to look at from the outside and wonderful to live in when inside !!! House is spacious, clean, comfy beds, quality linens, soft towels, beautifully furnished and decorated .........we loved everything about it Large garage for our suv but also plenty of off- street parking available The house is also ideally located to enjoy everything Oceanside has to offer ......5 minute walk to incredible beach, 2 minute walk to multiple restaurants/Bars/coffee shops ( just far enough away to avoid noise disturbances) Additionally both the Farmers Market and Sunset Markets are quite literally a stone throw away In case you haven't guessed by now we loved this property/location and intend to return on a regular basis .......I truly did not want to leave after our 6 days

Lucy's Beach House is a "Diamond in the sky"

Our stay at Lucy's Beach House was the best of any VRBO place I have stayed. I don't where to start... The place is spotless and has everything that you could possibly need. The neighbors are very friendly and the neighborhood is safe. Everything is is walking distance. The best bars, restaurants and shopping could could hope for. There is a local market, once a week (Ii think Wednesdays) that spans about 8 blocks. The beach is right there! The owner could not have been more attentive. He actually answers his phone and is very customer friendly. Don't hesitate to rent this DIAMOND!!!! Thank me later!!!

This was our third year staying at Lucy's Beach House for our family vacation. We love that fact that it is so close to the beach. The grandkids love the video games. The house has a kitchen table that all 11 of us fit at comfortably. The beds are very comfortable. Thursdays are the best-farmer's market in the morning and food trucks galore in the evening and it is just down the street. Bob is a great host! He is very quick to respond to any questions. We left on Tuesday and the kids were talking about going back next year on Wednesday--we will!

It was very nice but I thought but it was missing some basic amenities like body wash in some showers, tin foil in the kitchen, garbage bags, and seran wrap. A light by the barbecue would also be very helpful because we had to resort to using our phone light to see what we were doing.

Really enjoyed this home. So close to everything! Literally just steps away from their Thursday sunset market. You can’t miss that ! Home is spacious and never felt crowded with 9 people. Loved the kitchen area and large dining table. Perfect for large groups. Will definitely want to come back. Thank you Bob for answering my text so quickly. You have a great home!

Family vacay

We had a great time at Lucy's Beach House. This was our second time staying here for our family vacation. Thursday nights there is a street festival of food trucks just down the street. The house is just 3 blocks to the beach!! Our grandkids loved the boogie boards and the surfboard. Enjoyed walking the neighborhood with our dog. It is really nice to have a table that seats 12 so we could all eat together. We went to the library-about 2 blocks away and Handel's Ice Cream is also 2 blocks away. Bob is very easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house in great location!!

We had a wonderful week stay with our family of 4 plus grandparents and 2 dogs!!! The location couldn’t be beat, 3 blocks from the beach/pier, 1 block to restaurants/shops/coffee. The house itself was fantastic very spacious, bright, wonderful kitchen with large table, grill on front patio with table/couch. Beds were very comfortable with fans in each room. Basically 3 master bedrooms. Dog run and outdoor shower on the side of the house. Close enough to town but still quiet. Steps away from the Thursday Sunset market with many food options. We loved that we didn’t really have to drive much during the week, everything we needed (other than initial grocery run) was within walking distance for the most part. Would definitely stay again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Noterman

Host profile image
Our Mother Lucy was born in Antwerp Belgium in 1933. As a young girl she grew up during WWII and 4 years of German occupation. Myself and my sister were born in Antwerp. Our mom and dad loved to travel. My sister married a guy from South Africa and currently lives in Capetown. My job brought me to the United States in 1979, I married a lovely girl from Minnesota and we now live in Dana Point. Dad passed away in 2011 and Lucy was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2015. We sold all her property in Belgium and invested it in the Oceanside house. The rental income paid for her care in a very nice facility in Antwerp, my sister and myself traveled to Belgium every 2 months, alternating our trips so she would see one of us every month. She passed away in February of 2019. We decided to name the house " Lucy's Beach House".

Why they chose this property

Location is great, We take pride in this property and maintain and upgrade it as much as possible. We appreciate any suggestions to make your stay more enjoyable.

What makes this property unique

Rooftop patio is a fun place to have happy hour or enjoy the sunset.
