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).



Other Things to Note:

There is possible construction noise from our neighbor Mon - Sat during work hours. By booking, you are aware that loud noise won't be an issue for you and there will be no discounts or refunds given if construction occurs during your stay.

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.

Gas leak in property

We never got to stay as there wa a gas leak in the property. However it was how this was handled that was most disappointing. We had to immediately book another property and obviously needed a refund as we could not stay in the booked property. The communication was appalling. The owner kept telling us to contact vrbo who told us to contact him. Eventually I had to dispute with my credit card to get our money back. Issues in properties happen, but it’s how a host handles them that is my deciding factor. This was handled beyond poorly would not recommend this property.

Clean place in a convenient location with stunning views!

This was our very first time booking a vacation property rental instead of a hotel and our stay and experience has set the bar so high. My husband and our teen daughter thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this clean, well-appointed home with huge windows and sliding doors that allows you to take in the beautiful ocean views and air from a location that is so conveniently close to the pier, restaurants and shops on Mission Ave., and more. Every morning, we walked to a nearby coffee spot that we absolutely loved (The Cup) and every evening, we watched the sun set on the super wide balcony. It was heaven to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and we look forward to booking this place again for our yearly trip to the SD area.

Family getaway

This was the perfect spot for our family trip! The 4 of us hadn't been to SoCal since we moved away some 20 years ago! Oh how it has changed! I loved sitting on the balcony in the morning watching the surfers and people walking by. The condo was modern, clean and set up perfectly for our needs. We were able to make breakfast, enjoy the view, relax and even do laundry. The beach chairs came in handy for a beach day. The location is perfect! right down the way from the pier, and all the restaurants of Oceanside. Couldn't have been better. Thank you Nick!

Great view condo in Oceanside

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.
