Great place! Perfect location on the beach. Nice and clean unit. plenty of space. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

We loved being near the ocean The condo was clean and comfortable I would definitely stay again and recommend Host was great and responsive Thank you so much

Location is fantastic. Falling asleep to the soft sounds of crashing waves is pretty much the best thing ever.

Loved the beachfront condo with ocean view. Accommodations were good and condo very clean. It is my fourth year renting at North Shore Village, and all condos are clean. However, this condo was my favorite!

This place is decorated so cute. It is so comfortable and well stocked with crock pot and boogie boards! it has the greatest views of the ocean! Late each night we watched the pelican dive for fish, one night we saw a seal jumping in the waves. The view to the pier at night is spectacular. We loved listening to the ocean waves with our window open all night. I also loved lifting up from my bed to see the waves through the window! Couldn’t be better!

Great spot with wonderful views. Perfect getaway, we will be back for sure.

This condo was an amazing experience. From the location, the cleanliness, the view, the staff. We will be back.

Excellent place for a family beach and surf vacation!

We had a wonderful week in D17! The booking was easy and we received instant help on a few minor issues that came up. The condo was clean and well-furnished, and oh, the view!!! I have stayed at North Coast Village several years in a row and it never disappoints!

Great location... great views... great trip.

Fantastic location right on the beach yet feels very private. The beds were very comfortable And the master bedroom faces the ocean. We loved falling asleep with the ocean sound every night. Everything’s very close to walk to, lots of food options. Very family friendly condo and complex. Communication was fantastic.

The condo was fabulous, clean & organized, had almost everything we needed, it was super cute and had comfortable beds. Great beach and pool access. The condo grounds are very nice and well kept. Due to Covid, the game room and gym were closed and we had to make pool reservations but it wasn’t an issue since we spent most of our time at the beach. Upon check in, the HOA rules we were given sounded over the top (no sunscreen allowed in pool, etc). I was a little worried, but it was fine, they didn’t seem to be strict at enforcing them. We brought some sheets and chairs from our home to use at the beach but the condo has a great umbrella and some chairs too. We used Walmart grocery delivery which worked perfectly to meet the driver at the gate. The condo only provides 2 tiny tubes of shampoo/conditioner, not enough for 6 people for 4 nights, so we just bought some with our groceries. There are very limited spices in the condo, no cooking oil and the fridge is clean and empty, so plan accordingly. We were not able to get “regular tv” to work to watch some games so be aware. We did have Netflix access which was great and there are lots of games there too. Location was close enough to go to San Diego and Newport Beach - and everything in between. Overall it was a great stay! Would highly recommend staying here!

The "Very Good" rating is based on the location, not this particular unit. This property is an awesome location, although beyond the location, we were not incredibly happy with unit D17. I expect we will be back to Oceanside, and when we return it will be to North Coast Village. D17 is ideally oceanfront. Any of the 14 other lower oceanfront units on this property would be equally ideal. An argument could be made that the 15 upper oceanfront units would be better because no one can walk across your patio nor peer in through your patio door. Renting from On-The-Sand.com was incredibly easy and the pre-arrival package you receive is better, more informative, more comprehensive, than we have ever received when renting elsewhere. Check in and check out both incredibly easy. North Coast Village is a well maintained, beautiful tropical paradise. The grounds are expertly landscaped and the parking garage spotless. The evening of our arrival, when preparing the coffee for the following morning, I discovered I could not make the coffee pot work. Too late at night to deal with it, so the next morning I made good old campfire coffee. While enjoying my coffee I downloaded the operating manual for that model coffee pot, and following the operating instructions, discovered the coffee pot did not work. Contacted Misty at On The Sand that day but did not hear back from them until the following day, meaning on our second morning we again enjoyed a pot of campfire coffee! By the end of our second full day there a brand new replacement coffee pot was delivered to us, thus ending our campfire coffee days! This location is awesome. While there is no direct beach access, it is such a great setting for watching the ocean and setting sun that the couple hundred steps to get sand between your toes is really no big deal. Beware! Sitting on the patio you ARE close to the ocean. At high tide the waves sometimes splash just a little over the wall and you get a bit of a salt water shower! Shops and restaurants at the harbor / marina are a short walk away. Enjoyed some really great meals with a nice, easy walk there and a leisurely stroll back after dinner. If we return to Oceanside the only place we will consider staying is North Coast Village.

Perfect location, directly facing the beach. Great communication (although conflicting at times amongst the numerous welcome emails), excellent amenities. We really enjoyed the small beach town feel.

Michael - Posted: 3/4/2021

Perfect location right on the beach!! Quick responses to all of our questions! Great complex.

Dina - Posted: 11/11/2020

We stayed here for 3 nights. The grounds are spectacular. Well thought out and private. This particular condo is floor level ocean/beachfront. Very clean and the property management was very quick to respond. Great views.

D17-Beach Retreat is perfectly positioned with views of the Pier and Sunset. The furniture is very comfortable and a nice place to relax after a long day at the beach, or instead of a long day. We just love the feeling of the sea air on our faces as we sit on the patio and watch the activity on the beach or head on down ourselves. Morning walks on the sand, and rushing outside every evening to watch the sunset over the Pacific right from our patio. We enjoyed our stay and appreciate how easy it is to contact On-the-Sand if anything comes up.

Jeff - Posted: 6/30/2020

After owning a house on the beach in Rosarito Beach for over 30 years I felt like I was home again. The sound of ocean, the fresh sea air, morning coffee, sunset on the patio, all truly amazing. The grounds are well manicured to a point you felt like you were in a resort, truly gorgeous. Wonderful weekend and we cannot wait until we book again.

Jerome - Posted: 5/18/2020

My family enjoyed our stay at D17 this summer! The cottage is nicely updated and very comfortable. The mirrors and décor added the perfect touch for this beach retreat! It was so enjoyable to sit on the patio and take in the fantastic views from pier to harbor, while enjoying the nice ocean breeze. It is also perfect to be just steps away from the sand for beach walks or playing in the ocean. June was cool this year so it was perfect hoodie weather and we cannot wait to come back to this perfect little spot next summer.

Jeff - Posted: 6/30/2019

So nice to sit outside and only hear the ocean...no traffic noise, no train noise, just waves. This two bedroom has all the basic necessities, just unpack and go get groceries and you’re good to go. Double and twin in second bedroom was great with two kids and the king sized bedroom window opens to hear the ocean waves and cool breezes. Having two bathrooms is a big plus. We’ve stayed in four different condos at north coast village and we will definitely return to this one.

Christopher - Posted: 4/9/2019

The view was amazing! Beds were comfortable. Parking spot convenient.

Donna & Kevin - Posted: 3/11/2019

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Apartment, right on the beach, was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Ken - Posted: 11/14/2018

We spent a beautiful week in D17. We came for our son’s wedding. Weather was great and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was fantastic. We also watched the dolphins outside D17. Thank you for a great place to stay.

Virginia - Posted: 5/15/2018

very nice place and very good agents great view

Clinton - Posted: 12/11/2017

Had a super time. It was a well needed vacation. We will definitely return next year.

Matthew - Posted: 11/1/2017

We had a wonderful time. The condo was clean and well kept. Perfect location next to the beach in walking distance to the pier and the harbour.

Magda - Posted: 10/3/2017

Best beachfront location. Abundant beach equipment. The complex has so many amenities to insure a first class vacation. We have come back year after year for this wonderful experience.

David - Posted: 9/25/2017

What a Beautiful condo. Right on the ocean. We celebrated out 35th wedding anniversary there. Everything described on the property was correct. It was actually better than we thought. My wife wondered if it was really safe as the waves were huge breaking on the huge rocks in front of our condo. I am going to start saving now for a return trip as soon as possible.

Shayne - Posted: 6/13/2017

We just spent a week back at D17. It is our second time there. It has been upgraded even more and is one of the nicest condos at North Coast Village. We have stayed in about 10 of them. We plan to return to this one!!

Dennis - Posted: 6/2/2017

My husband and I with our two teen boys stayed at this place for part of our spring break. The view from the living room, master bedroom, and patio was spectacular! We sat out many mornings with our coffee and evenings with a glass of wine and just watched surfers and let the sound of the waves roll over us. It was a great condo with everything you could need, including such things as tinfoil, plastic wrap, and even tupper wear and every spice imaginable. Something you don't always see in a vacation rental. The second bedroom was great for our boys. The master bed was fairly comfortable and we slept well with the sound of waves. The rental agency was very responsive and helpful and check-in was easy and pleasant. The parking garage was also a huge bonus. The pool was great and the grounds were beautiful with flowers you could spell the minute you walked onto the property. The location was great, and most days we walked either direction and found wonderful restaurants and little shops. All in all, we found this condo to be very pleasant with a location and view to be priceless! I would definitely recommend it and will look them up again if my family goes back to that area.

Everything was there...we just showed up and relaxed.

Amanda - Posted: 4/11/2017

Hello, we loved the location and the grounds. Was very very clean and so close to the ocean.  Thank you for letting us know to bring our own towels if we needed more than 6, which we did for a week. Beach towels were awesome. Instructions were very clean with the exception of where to turn in the keys. Had no idea HOA was upstairs. They might want to put a sign at the bottom of the stairs. The grilling area was kept spotless. Liked that it was gated and we could park in a garage. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Ella - Posted: 3/28/2017

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the our North Coast Village villa. It was much better equipped and furnished than similar places we have stayed in the past. It was clean and well kept up, and the proximity to the beach was outstanding; listening the waves at night was amazing and restful. Loved it and look forward to doing it again next summer!!

Peggy - Posted: 9/10/2016

I should start by saying we've been coming to North Coast Village for 8 years. On The Sand, Mark and Shanna are wonderful. The condo we stay in is clean, very nice in and out, it's just great and I'm not saying which one because I want it again. I'm afraid everyone will take a week and I'll lose out:) so not telling. It's a beautiful complex, the Harbor is walking distance, Beach Break has fantastic food, the weather has never been bad, sit on your patio and watch the sunset. AHHH life is great in Our own little piece of heaven for a week. Thank you On the Sand for everything you've done for us over the years.

We stayed in Unit D 17 of North Coast Village for five nights in April. The Condo was very clean and comfortable. Having two bathrooms is definitely a plus. The grounds were beautiful and the location to the pier and the harbor were perfect. Nights with the windows open rewarded us with a nice breeze (and occasionally a little ocean spray) and lulled us to sleep with the roar from the ocean. We did not lack for anything in the Condo. In the kitchen there were plenty of dishes, pans and utensils. We did bring extra paper towels and salt and pepper. The beds were comfortable, extra blankets, plush towels, and beach towels. There was also a inflatable twin size mattress and a play and pack. The beach toys were a hit, boogie boards (2 large & 1 small) and sand toys. There are sand umbrellas and two sand chairs. Only downfall was that the waves were a little high at the Oceanside beaches, even at low tide, for the kids to do much more then play in the surf & sand a bit. We opted to go to LaJolla Shores, which has a marvelous beach, low surf, perfect to boogie board, so it was nice to have the things on hand to take with us. There was a lot of maintenance of the grounds going on the week we were there, but as we did not spend a lot of time during the day at the condo, it was not that big of a deal until the last day we were there, when some of the ground outside the patio was roped off due to damage from the surf... Not any fault of establishment or owners.. some things just happen. Pool, BBQ grills & hot tub was very nice (never found the 2nd pool or hot tub). The game room was nice, but unsure where you would go to get balls, cue sticks etc... Coy fish actually beg for their food.. There are nice tables and Briquette BBQ area's on the beach to utilize. The unit itself is nice to the point of being very comfortable and homey, but not overly so to where you are uncomfortable to feel at home. Guest parking is limited, guard at guard shack was very informative and helpful. Coaster train was 1.5 miles to station. Farmers market on Thursday was awesome. All and all a wonderful time. Also On-the-sand was very informative, easy to work with and always responded to my questions promptly.
