Sandpiper Cottage - B3 at North Coast Village
This south-facing first floor beach condo with an ocean view patio is a great find! Sandpiper Cottage is just steps to the sand with no roads to cross, and offers very reasonable rates. The spacious living area is warm, inviting, and comfortably furnished with two sofas (one is a queen sofa bed), and two chairs. A cozy fireplace adds to the ambiance. It's a great place to kick back after a day in the sun and surf, or after a day of sightseeing. Or, you can walk right out and relax on your patio and enjoy the whitewater ocean view.
The kitchen features granite counters, and is equipped with dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishwasher, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, and blender. The dining area seats 4, plus 3 bar stools at the kitchen bar. You'll find a king size bed and a chair in the bedroom, and the bathroom has a tub/shower combination with designer tile and a granite countertop.
As you walk through the staffed secure gate to oceanfront North Coast Village, you are transported to a tropical oasis reminiscent of the Costa Rican Rain Forest. Running streams, waterfalls, lush foliage, and Koi meander through the spacious grounds of this resort-like beachfront condominium complex in Oceanside California.
You will notice the crystal clear heated pool and spa, gleaming barbecues, convenient picnic tables, sand rinsing stations to remove the lingering beach. If you need a break from sun and surf, you might enjoy a game of pool, a jog on a treadmill in the newly remodeled exercise gym, a little ping pong, or a sauna. Feeding our giant Koi is a simple pleasure not to be missed during your Oceanside visit.
When you venture through the back gates, you find yourself on one of North San Diego County’s finest beaches: broad and flat with volleyball, and great surf breaks - right out back! Beach towels and chairs are provided with the condo.
To the north, you can walk or bike to Oceanside’s busy little harbor for a bite to eat or some boating, and to the south, you can venture down the strand to southern California’s longest pier for some fishing (no license needed). North Coast Village is close enough to walk to everything near the beach, so your car can stay in its secure underground parking spot - especially useful when beach parking becomes a premium in the summer.
Parties or events are not allowed at this property.
The Mainstreet Oceanside Farmer's Market is a delightful experience near the Pier which takes place every Thursday from 9-1, and the Sunset Market happens every Thursday evening from 5-9. Be sure to taste the cedar-planked Salmon!
