On The Strand | Oceanfront Balcony | Dog-Friendly

Summary:
Right on The Strand at Oceanside City Beach: step off the patio and you’re on the sand. A clean, comfortable one-bedroom with a queen bed, sleeper sofa, full kitchen, wall A/C and ceiling fans. Morning coffee on the balcony comes with surf views up the beach to the north. Beach chairs and an umbrella are included, and one dog is welcome with approval. The pier and downtown are a 10-minute walk.

The Space:
One bedroom with a queen bed, a ceiling fan, and a large closet. Living room with a sleeper sofa, a ceiling fan, a wall A/C unit, and a balcony facing the ocean. Sleeps four. Full kitchen, oversized shower with strong hot water, and beach chairs and an umbrella for your use. The unit is up one short flight of exterior stairs (8–10 steps) from the parking area. Laundry is a shared, app-operated washer and dryer in the building — no coins needed — not in the unit.

Guest Access:
Self check-in with a keypad. Your door PIN is sent before arrival and activates at your check-in time (3pm unless you've booked an early check-in). One assigned parking space; see "Other things to note" for size limits. WiFi details are in your check-in message and posted inside.

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).

Getting Around:
One assigned parking space at the unit (compact cars and small SUVs only — see "Other things to note"). The pier, downtown restaurants, and the harbor are all walkable along The Strand; most guests park once and walk for the rest of the stay.

Other Things to Note:
A new home is being built on the south side of the building, with work on weekdays from about 7:30am to 4pm and occasionally on Saturdays. The south half of the balcony view is blocked by the structure and mesh screening; the view north along the beach is open, and our listing photos were taken before the project began. The unit comes with one assigned space in a tight lot that fits compact cars and small SUVs but not full-size trucks, vans or large SUVs; free street parking on Pacific Street is a two-minute walk. As in most older beach buildings, the walls and floors are thin and you’ll hear footsteps from the unit above, so light sleepers may want earplugs. One dog is welcome with prior approval for $35 a night, and unauthorized pets carry a $500 fee.
