Ocean Views at North Coast Village in Oceanside! 760 Sq Ft
Seahorse Retreat - B226 at North Coast Village
Relax on your ocean view balcony! Seahorse Retreat welcomes you to a tropical paradise filled with streams, waterfalls, and winding paths. Swim in the lagoon-style heated pool, and head to the beach for a walk down to the Pier. The kitchen features stainless appliances and smooth counters, and is equipped with dishes, pots and pans, and cooking utensils. The living area with cozy fireplace is a great place to unwind after a day in the surf and sun, or perhaps a day of sightseeing. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination and a separate dressing area.
Make My Vacation also provides all linens and towels, beach chairs and beach towels. The Living Room TV is provided for your entertainment, as well as free wireless Internet.
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 exercise room, 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.

The property was as described- clean and full of useful things for our stay. Lots of towels, comfortable bed, quick replacement of a broken coffee pot- great stay!

The pullout couch was terribly uncomfortable and kitchen knives were dull. However, it was a great location and so much fun of a stay.

Really enjoy the property and the location is perfect for the activities we were doing
Beautiful property with great beach access as well as harbor restaurants. Parking garage not so great. Very tight spaces if you drive a truck. We paid $5 a day and parked in the city lot across the street.
This complex is extremely well maintained, with great amenities and common area. Directly on the beach and Bay. Excellent security presence. Quiet area, close to restaurants and shopping. A gem that we intend to return to in 2024.
Love the location!! The property is very tropical with beautiful waterfalls, lots of lush green and giant koi ponds!
The one thing that was annoying was the parking situation and the slow elevators that were always breaking down!!

We had a lovely stay at our vacation. The place we rented was definitely budget feeling. It was fine, but def needs updating. Bathroom was dirty in the shower, and toilet lever hard to flush. The resort, however, was INCREDIBLE! Beautiful grounds! Great location!

This property is exceptional. Location is perfect for beach access and includes parking. There is also a huge shopping center with great restaurants nearby. The unit is spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff is kind and courteous. As a 78yo single female, traveling solo can have its challenges. I can recommend this property for safety and convenience. A great place to relax and rejuvenate!

This was our first experience with VRBO but not with North Coast Village. We have owned a condo at North Coast Village for 35 years and love it. We were having family fly out for vacation and we needed more space to house our family. Someone suggested VRBO to rent another unit. We were more than happy. Everything was just as they advertised and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Everything we needed was in the condo and it was beautifully decorated. We would highly recommend this condo and VRBO.

Reviewer Comments:
We really enjoyed our stay at B226. The unit was exactly as described, the views of the ocean were great, the grounds of the complex were beautifully landscaped- just like a resort. The gym is well-equipped and the sauna and hot tub are wonderful. Wi-fi was great. We did not rent a car and were able to enjoy the week using the Coaster train system and walking. Very pedestrian friendly- the downtown attractions are a pleasant 10-15 minute walk. The staff members were friendly. You can be on the beach within a couple of minutes. There are beer/grocery stores within a short walk of the complex but we made a larger trip to a real grocery store to start the week.My one complaint- we arrived by Uber on Saturday the 20th, 20 minutes prior to the 3PM check-in and it was pouring rain. The guard at the security office was very unfriendly, and when I asked if we could go somewhere to get out of the rain until check-in or perhaps leave our luggage and get lunch, he acted like we were trying to bomb the place. He finally relented and let us go to the HOA office where a nice lady assisted us. It was not a nice way to be greeted- suggest the management review customer service skills with that particular employee.
Loved our stay at the Vitamin Sea condo. Perfect for our kiddos and a great location within the property. Made our car access and beach access really convenient. We will very likely stay here again!
