About this property

Oceanfront Beach House - Private Beach!

Our spectacular beach house is 'On The Sand,' offering its own private beach while providing white water views and soothing ocean sounds (you hear the surf in every room). It has a bright beachy decor and a quiet location - conveniently located halfway between the Village in Carlsbad and the Pier in Oceanside (we walk on the sand to both).

This completely renovated home is fully furnished (we relax here frequently) and offers sweeping ocean views from La Jolla to Catalina. You can watch the dolphins play or the whales spout from the living room, deck, or beach.

At night, visit one of the area's fine restaurants or simply dine on the beach while watching the beautiful sun set over the Pacific. During the day, relax on the beach or enjoy the numerous activities that are unique to this fabulous destination.

DETAILS

This listing is for all 3 units. However, you can rent in any combination. Individually Unit A is VRBO #882233, Unit B is VRBO #882234, and Unit C is VRBO #253036.

UNIT A (sleeps 1 to 6): Has 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom and has a California king size bed in each of the bedrooms and a queen size sofa sleeper in the living room.

This place was PERFECT.! We rented out all 3 units and it was great to have space away from the family as well as enough room for all of us if we wanted to hangout on one level. We were able to walk the beach at low tide and watch the waves crash into the stairs and rocks during high tide. We walked to the pier one night and it did take a little longer than we thought (about 25 minutes), but I’m sure it would be faster without kids. Mornings were a bit chilly but it warmed up enough to get in the water every day we were there. The check in / out process was a breeze, the house was beautiful and we will definitely be back.!

Beach Family Fun

Planning a trip by yourself or with the family this is a great getaway spot. The house has 3 separate rentals or you can do what we did and rent all three. We had 4 families, total of 14 people. My husband and myself and our three children with their families. Each family had plenty of space but yet gathered for family meals and beach play. Plenty of beach toys provided by the host.We were right on the ocean with a sandyard then the reforcement boulder wall with a stairway down to the seashore during low tide you can walk on the beach in the lower area. It was very private. We watched surfers, seals or sealions and a sea otter. Sunsets were fantastic! Best trip yet with family! Everyone agreed from grand children to adults.

Nice house, no beach

This house was perfect for our extended family, with three separate spaces for families to spread out in. The backyard was great for the kids - they played in the sand for hours at a time. The only downside really is that the picture seems misleading. By looking at the neighbors property in the picture, I'd say it is an old photo. We stayed a week, and even experienced a period of negative tide, and never once saw beach over the fence. If you want to go to the beach and play in the waves, you will need to go to the public beach two miles up the road. It was never safe to play just outside of this properties fence. The waves were crashing over huge boulders. On the plus side, this was an awesome sight.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 April 2024
Glad the house was perfect for your family and the kids enjoyed playing on our private beach! The last few winters have really been hard on the California coast. The sand on the public beach comes and goes based on the season, swells, and tides. The nearest public beach is actually 2 blocks south. - Buccaneer Beach. The Oceanside pier is 1.5 miles north.

A very nice week on the beach!

The house worked well for our group of 15. We had plenty of room for all. We loved the private beach front decks on each level!! When we checked into house, the back yard looked like it had not been cleaned. The tables and all the chairs were covered with sand as well as the ones on the decks. The stairs were all sandy too. The sand yard outside was not smoothed out and the toys were thrown into a plastic pool all dirty. The inside was clean everywhere, the linens were fresh, it smelled nice, but the floors although they looked clean, made your feet turn black if you were barefoot. The kitchen was stocked well and we found everything we needed there. The beds were all comfortable. There was adequate dining space. There were 2 large fans as well. The weather was perfect, the view was amazing . There was plenty of seating outside. The beach stairs are wonderful however, there was hardly any beach at all except for low tide, and even that was a small strip.. The beach access was rough because the water was all the way up to the stairs the rest of the time. The sandy yard provided lots of private lounging space though, and enough room for the kids to set up their 4 way beach volleyball net as well. There were sand toys galore and boogie boards and an extra umbrella under the deck. We were literally outside all day long and after our evening meal, the kids roasted marshmallows in the fire pit at night! The way that the coastline has changed, this house has one of the better set ups you can get! We had a great week there, and lots of good family fun! We made memories we will cherish! We will definitely rent this house again! Thank you to the owners for allowing us to rent your beach house!

Summer Getaway

My family and I love coming to this beach house. It's great for the children and their parents and grandparents (if you don't mind sand being tracked in). We can spend as much time as we want playing in the sandy backyard or going downstairs to the water without having to haul towels, toys, food etc. back and forth to the beach. This year the tides were in our favor and we had long stretches of time when the tide was out and there was lots of beach area to play in. Even when the tide comes in it's still pleasant to sit on the steps and read. The house with its three separate units works well for multiple families.

Perfect location

This Oceanside beach house was the perfect location and set up for our yearly family vacation. We had three families and everyone had their own space to call home for the week. The fenced in sand was awesome for letting our kids play in the sand and water and we could nap little ones when we needed. We found the only downside to this property was it was a little outdated and the floors were dirty. But our overall experience was very good and we made great memories!

Family vacation

We rented all three units for a family beach vacation and we had an amazing time. The location was perfect. 1.2 miles to the pier (we walked several times). Being right on the beach with the backyard being a huge sandbox was great for the kids. No hauling all your stuff to the beach. It is an older beach house so nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Great for each family to have their own space. One of the water heaters went out while we were there the the owners had it replaced immediately. They were so accommodating and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Would love to stay again!!

We enjoyed our stay in Oceanside so much. We had the most relaxing time and the younger kids were in tears when they had to go back home. Would love to be able to stay again but Minnesota is a long way to get us all there. We also had a son from Virginia Beach travel so it is very seldom we spend the holiday all together- that made it so much fun!!

Great Vacation

Our family had a great time. The house with the three separate units worked out well. Each family had their own space but could also be together whenever we wanted. The kids (and their parents) loved the “beach” backyard and then the beach which didn’t require packing a lot of stuff and a long walk. The sunsets were beautiful from the backyard and the sound of the ocean was delightful.

Great stay

Although this place was very expensive, it was a great location/house and right on the beach. We enjoyed the private sand yard and falling asleep to the sound of the waves. The house itself was a little dirty but that’s expected with tracking sand in from outside. If you’re going to rent out one unit only, make sure you choose the top one connected to the garage. I slept on the very bottom floor and could hear my family bright and early above me! But it was perfect renting out all 3 units for our big family!

Ideal multi family vacation spot

We rented out the 3 story house for our large family. The features we found convenient were: each floor having its own kitchen, separate access to the beach from outside stair cases, unobstructed ocean views from the balconies, a fire pit (you need to provide your own wood), and sand toys and boogie boards. The backyard literally is at the ocean’s doorsteps. There’s no street or sidewalk to cross accessing the beach. Beyond the gate, which the photos don’t reveal, are steps leading down to a private beach. At high tide, sometimes the waves would crash over the fence which we found entertaining. At low tide, swimming in the ocean was another enjoyable activity. In the garage, they provide a coin operated washer and dryer. You have to supply your own detergent. There is only one parking spot available on the property. Other vehicles must find parking along the street which wasn’t a problem. Please note that this property is not wheelchair accessible or for those having difficulty climbing stairs. This home was so ideal for our family that we’re already talking about returning for another memorable vacation.

Great Location

We enjoyed our time here. We had a big group, so we rented out all 3 units and it worked perfectly for us: Us and our 2 kids in unit A. My parents and brother in Unit B, and my in laws in Unit C. Pros: -- On the beach! There is a set of stairs that lead down to the ocean so you can play in the water at low tide, with a gate. We were able to see dolphins from the balcony each morning! -- Sand in the yard was great for our young kids to play in the sand when it was cold or the tide was too high. -- Renting all 3 units, we all had our own space, but Unit A was big enough for us all to come together for meals. -- Firepit was great for nightly fires and s'mores! -- Great location between the Harbor and Carlsbad Village. We drove up to the Harbor one day to walk around. We saw about 20 sea lions while we were there, and the boats are fun to look at too. -- Owner is SUPER quick to respond! We got there about an hour earlier than expected and asked if we could get in early. She helped us access the unit a little earlier than normal check in. She also responded quickly to a few questions I had before we arrived. -- Great lighting on the stairs. We've stayed at a different location and the stairs were not well lit so we almost tripped a few times. All stairs here are well lit, using motion detection. Cons: -- Cleaning is sub-par. We came in right after the cleaners left, and since COVID is still a thing, I wiped counters and such down with Lysol wipes. There were still crumbs on the counters. There were lots of spider webs also on the railings, that could easily be swept off quickly by the cleaning crew. There was dust on cabinets, etc that should be dusted by cleaners. -- Dishes are not all microwave or dishwasher safe. Some of the plates could only go on the top rack and they were a little large to fit there. -- Washing machine and dryer are coin operated. Therefore we couldn't do any laundry. After the counters being dirty still, I considered washing the sheets just to be safe, but didn't have coins to run several loads of laundry. So we just hope they were cleaned. -- Gate leading to the units doesn't lock. There is a lock, but it's a deadbolt, so as guests, we couldn't lock it. -- Outlets in the bunk bedroom in Unit B didn't work. Only one of 4 outlets that were accessible actually worked. -- The lower units can hear the upper units walking and talking. Overall we had a WONDERFUL time. A little TLC and more thorough cleaning would make it an A+.

Thanksgiving week at the beach

Overall, our stay was great; the 3 units gave our 4 families privacy yet the outside staircases to each provided easy pathways for visiting and shared cooking. Facing the beach with a deck out of each unit was cool to not only watch kids boogie board and playing in the private sand yard but watching both sunsets and storms. All the units provided ample dishware/cookingware/utensils in a clean kitchens, dining/livingspace and bathrooms.

Very relaxing! Great on the beach house!

We rented all 3 units as a family for our annual 4th of July vacation. This house worked out perfectly with 3 separate kitchens, bathrooms & living quarters but we were still all together. Had the best time ever being right on the beach! Parking was a little tight but we made it work. I really appreciated getting to communicate directly with the owner Kelley who made sure that all of our needs were taken care of and made sure our stay was great. She even sent us a package with all the stuff we forgot and left behind. She was five star host for sure! I'm sure we'll be back again.

Breathtaking Views! Unbelievable Value!

This vacation rental is the perfect place to fully experience all that Southern CA has to offer. The views from the unit & private beach are breathtaking. We love to just sit on the private beach or deck and soak up the feeling of being right on the ocean, but having your own private space. You are so close to the ocean, the sound of the waves lull you to sleep. The unit is decorated in comfortable beachy decor. Very casual and not fussy. The owners are very responsive and Kelley is always very helpful. When we are not hanging out enjoying the ocean, we love to see the sights of the area. The Oceanside Surf Museum is such fun and is only 1 1/2 miles away. The museum has great surf memorabilia and actually has Bethany Hamilton's original surf board & swimsuit she was wearing. My kids find it such an inspirational story about never giving up! Also, Legoland is just 15 mins away and a quick 40 minute drive to San Diego Zoo, Sea World or Orange Co. You are literally in between all southern CA sightseeing. The restaurants in the area are really wonderful. Everything from casual beer gardens to up scale. Our favorites are Swami's & Beach Break Cafe for breakfast and Pacifica 333 and Bagby for dinner. We highly recommend this vacation rental. It has helped us create some great family memories and experiences that kids are still talking about!

About the host

Hosted by Kelley

Host profile image
We had long desired to have a beachfront home and when we found this gem we were thrilled. We selected this area because it is right in the middle of a beautiful wide sandy beach that stretches for 3 miles from the village of Carlsbad to the pier in Oceanside. We also liked the fact that the house was located in a less dense area with mostly beach homes. Most of all we were excited by the private beach and the fact that we didn’t have to cross a street or get in a car to enjoy the ocean!
