Cozy beach home a 2 minute walk to the beach! Quiet neighborhood, and small cozy home! Great for a single person on a business trip or a couple on vacation.

Perfect location for being able to attend the festival by the pier but still enjoy quiet and the sounds of the ocean

Like most properties on the ocean in Oceanside, this one is not new. The bathrooms and Kitchen we’re remodeled since the house was built and function well. The place had the feel of a short-term rental that hasn’t been visited by the owner in a while. For example, several lights are out (kitchen is the most impactful), kitchen utensils need to be refreshed, several windows don’t open (salt air hates metal), master shower has poor water flow. Another thing that needs attention is the patio, there’s so much furniture out there, it’s difficult to walk around – lose the outdoor dinning furniture, we had to put several chairs in the house so we could use it. The downstairs part is gross, old and degrading, really needs a refresh. The ocean view, access and neighborhood are terrific of course. Walkability to the Strand and downtown / restaurants is 1 mile either way. We were there in Sept. notorious for being humid, the AC was terrific for this at night and sleeping. The furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced, could be worse because of the humidity, but time to refresh it regardless. We had three issues (initial key code didn’t work, running toilet, and the toaster was dead) and Vacasa was excellent – super quick and fixed them all– nice work folks! Before renting this again, I’d like to see the owner fix these and post it on the listing. If they reinvested a portion of their profits back into the property, this would be a 5/5.

You might not believe us when we say that San Diego County is California’s best-kept vacation secret. Sure, it’s home to San Diego, the Golden State’s second most-populous city. But ask any local: San Diego County has way more to offer than Comic-Con, beaches, and theme parks.

Where to book a house or condo rental in San Diego County


Choosing between San Diego County vacation rentals can be tough. We recommend picking accommodations convenient for your next adventure. Trying your hand at surfing? Stick closer to the beach by booking a Vacasa vacation home in Oceanside, Encinitas, La Jolla, or Carlsbad. Looking for great hiking? Stay in eastern San Diego, or book in an inland city like Vista. Want to do it all? With an extensive highway system, San Diego County’s best attractions are easily accessible, so it’s all right if what you’re after isn’t in your backyard.

Family activities in San Diego County


San Diego County vacation homes are popular with families of all ages and passions. Make fond memories with kids at destinations like LEGOLAND California and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, or keep it old school with a day at Belmont Park. If you’re entertaining a crowd, break out the peanuts and crackerjacks at a San Diego Padres game or stroll Carlsbad’s famous flower fields. History buffs won’t want to miss a tour of the USS Midway Museum, see the staggering Goat Canyon Trestle, or drop by the allegedly-haunted Hotel Del Coronado. And the outdoorsy among you won’t be disappointed, either: with options as varied as deep-sea tuna fishing out of Point Loma to otherworldly hiking in Anza-Borrego State Park, it’s not hard to find something to please any traveler to San Diego County.

Beaches near our San Diego County vacation rentals and condos


We firmly believe that life’s better at the beach. And you can test our conviction at a variety of Vacasa San Diego County vacation rentals. Pick a condo or home near Oceanside Beach to experience classic California beach town culture, or book in Carlsbad to enjoy rugged and protected Terramar Beach. Closer to San Diego, La Jolla vacation rentals are a short jump to some of the county’s best surf spots—learn the basics at La Jolla Shores, or test your skills at Windansea. (Just don’t forget to pack the sunscreen.)
