Beachfront vacation rentals in San Marcos

Loved our staycation at this adorable beach house! Location could not have been better - just a couple blocks from beach access and also super close to restaurants, shops and bars. The house is very cute and was just the right size for our little family of four. The kitchen is well stocked including a French press and keurig. It was also nice having both a front and back yard. Our dog and toddler both thoroughly enjoyed this protected outdoor space. Hosts are also fantastic and were incredibly responsive and generous, including when we embarrassingly locked ourselves out of the house. Highly recommend and would book again!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay! It was such a cute little beach house. Small home but the layout and lack of clutter made it feel bigger and functional. It was the perfect location for easily walking to the beach or dining near the pier. We would definitely stay again!

This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

We loved our stay! The house is very spacious and we had more than enough room for our family of 4 + 2 dogs. Great location as it is walkable to the beach and downtown. Also a great location to bike from. The hosts were wonderful! They reached out prior to our arrival with very clear and easy instructions. They also sent us some wonderful local recommendations! We will absolutely return!

Great location! good AC! nice little backyard! loved having access to a wagon! definitely will be back!

Greg was a great host. He made sure we knew how to get into the garage and the house. He check in on us during our stay and was responsive to our questions. The property was safe, 1 block from the ocean and just a few easy blocks to the pier, restaurants and shops. You can feel safe staying here during your trip to O’side

The beach bungalow was as described. The location was ideal, just two blocks from the beach. The hot tub was a standout feature for our visit. It was clean and we had no issues with temperature. The home is a bit no-frills but that was as expected, still a great value. Host was responsive and shoutout to Pete, manager, who was kind and helpful throughout. Our family would stay again. P.S. the train did not really bother our family, some who are light sleepers, during the stay. It will not wake you up in the middle of the night.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful beachfront condo! We were walking distance to the beach and playgrounds, any and every dinning experience you could need was around the corner. Cool coffee shops, we even found a local art walk at the Oceanside civic center and enjoyed a stroll down to eat the best pizza I’ve ever had! Book this stay, you won’t be disappointed. Secure access, beautiful views and very roomy place to stay. The bedrooms are spread out enough with bathrooms attached that we never felt cramped or crowded

Great place! super close to the beach. They even leave fun stuff like a closet full of things you need for the beach. We would stay again.

The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

Joseph is a great host and the place truly is a tropical paradise with easy access to the beach & downtown Oceanside in walking distance (.5 mi). The property does feel like a hotel but having an “adults only” hot tub is nice to get away from children if you’re wanting that. My friends and I walked to local restaurants and coffee shops each day. The place is very clean and he’s got pretty much everything you could need include extra fans and sound machines if you need some white noise to sleep, which I do so I was pleasantly surprised! Will stay here again if I’m ever in the area.

We had an amazing week in Oceanside! This condo is very cozy yet has modern upgrades. There are great views from all of the windows. It is so nice to listen to the ocean at all times. Everything is in walking distance. We will definitely be back again.

Such a great place to stay. Restaurants, beach, pier all within walking distance. Within the complex pools, gym, and game room. My kids especially loved feeding the koi fish in the pond. The condo was centrally located in the complex between the game room and the pool. Sitting on the balcony you can hear the waterfall and get a peek at the ocean through the trees. Will definitely stay again!

The beach was literally within steps! We were looking forward to having a relaxing trip - which we did. I loved that beach chairs and coolers were provided had we needed them. Assigned parking made me feel safe.

I cannot say enough about Leslie and Kaylie. Absolutely everything was perfect. Every I was dotted and t was crossed. Communication with them was amazing. The home was beautiful. The location perfect. The food in the area was fabulous. If they will have me back I am totally in! Thank you Leslie and Kaylie for an amazing stay your kindness and your hospitality! Semper Fi!

This particular unit is really wonderful, and the location amazing. Being able to see and hear the beach/waves is very important to me. The unit is well laid out, comfortable, and the wagon was very helpful unloading as it was quite a walk. My vehicle cannot fit in the garage it's too tall, so I parked in the open lot near security. Thankfully with construction security gave us permission to park and not have to move the truck every day. Security was absolutely amazing and very helpful! The beach is very easy to access. We did not use the pool, even though it said heated, it did not feel like it. Sadly, the hot tub was closed for renovations, which is my only negative experience as I rented this particular location for the hot tub and the beach access. It would have been nice to have been made aware ahead of time of the construction going on in the condo complex, for informational purposes. Courtney and staff were quick to answer any questions and very pleasant. Will rent here again.

Renata’s home was immaculate and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s an amazing layout, comfortable, private areas that are inviting. The view from the front porch and the rooftop are fabulous. Clean. Everything you need and more. This really was one of my best Airbnb experiences. Super close to LEGOLAND. One right turn and you are there. Beach views and access. I would stay here again. I fact. I’m planning my next trip and will stay here again.

Dan & Britt are very gracious hosts! They were proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were comfortable and were attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Their Airbnb was better than the photos and my family and I absolutely loved the views it offered as well as the neighborhood of Oceanside. The house itself was very spacious and clean. We had a chance to truly decompress for a couple of days! I would highly recommend a stay here and we plan on going back.

So, I would just like to say that this place is absolutely as described and deserves every five star review that it has received. For me, it’s the small things and that small thing was lip balm, lol. When I got to the room, my lips were chapped, and I thought I was gonna have to run out because I had misplaced mine and there it was, so thoughtful. I love all of the special touches in that you have everything you need and somethings you didn’t think you needed. Well done!!

Really lovely place, beautifully decorated, well thought out and well stocked, would definitely stay here again. Super comfortable, clean, and just as nice as in pix. Love staying at this resort every time, quick easy walk to the harbor village as well as nice walk in beach to downtown shops and restaurants and coffee shops in Oceanside.

We have stayed in many airbnb all over the world and this place, by far, is the most complete in amenities. It had everything you need and then some. We spent a lot of time just watching the view. This place is a gem.

Had the BEST time at chestnut by the Sea. The house is so well thought out the beds are incredibly comfortable, everything is exactly like the pics. We used every space and felt right at home. Having the sauna and hot tub makes you feel like you’re at a resort. Also the out door kitchen and fire pit were a perfect place to hang at sunset into the evening. This was a girls trip, but I would absolutely go back with my family. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This place is outstanding. Right on the ocean with great views. Very tastefully decorated and very functional. I will definitely rent again. Thanks. We really enjoyed our stay
