Walk right out to the sandy beach from this updated 2-bed 2-bath getaway! Great corner location, spacious patio and grassy area. Dolphin Dreams Cottage - C7 at North Coast Village Welcome to Dolphin Dreams Cottage, where the ocean sand and waves are just a few steps away from your door! This corner cottage unit has 3 extra windows for a bright, open feel. The harmonious beach decor and comfortable furnishings will be a soothing retreat after a day in the sun and surf. The living area has a queen sleeper sofa, love seat, and recliner, and opens to your own spacious patio with grassy area and partial ocean view. A beautiful stone fireplace and estate shutters contribute to the ambience. The kitchen features granite counters and backsplash, a glass top stove, and is equipped with blender, coffee pot, toaster, dishes, pots & pans, and cooking utensils. The primary bedroom retreat has a Cal King mattress, with a walk-in shower and granite counters. The second bedroom has a full and twin bed.

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, and the Sunset Market happens every Thursday evening from 5-9.

Wonderful stay despite cloudy weather
September 2023
Another wonderful family reunion with 5 condos rented at North Coast Village. The only issue with this condo was an unpleasant odor coming from the locked owner's closet in the master bedroom. It smelled like a it might be a dead mouse. The odor permeated the entire condo and was tolerable when doors and windows remained open, which they were, continuously. We spent most of our time outdoors and it didn't dampen our fun at all.

Great overall rental. Great location to the beach, facility was great (seemed to be getting updated but that was a good thing). Only complaint was that the beach chairs and umbrella have seen better days but still usable. Coffe machine works, just pops open from time to time. AC was needed but windows at night sufficed. A few loud cars, racing up the road but that ended early. All and all great place. Would rent again.
Beach weekend getaway

Unit was in a good location and a great patio area, but there were issues with the shower faucet kept dropping and wasn't maintained well, also the coffee machine was super old and broken and was extremely frustrating trying it make a cup of coffee. Other than that it was a good stay just needed some maintenance fixes .
The good, the bad, and everything in between
August 2023
We stayed at the Dolphin Dreams cottage for about a week in late August. The location is really great...lower floor unit with direct access to Breakwater way that leads directly to the Strand and the beach. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk. The large patio is much better than the upstairs units with balconies because you have more room and direct access to just walk out. Here's the bad thing about the location: because it is located right at the end of the Strand, the frontage one way road that runs parallel to the beach, you have vehicles going past ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG. And for some reason a lot of them are blaring music, gunning their engines as they make the turn and just in general being pretty obnoxious. Also, this end of the Oceanside beach, (about a 15 min walk from the pier) is not super glamorous. There are public restrooms right as you hit the beach from Breakwater and many days there were quite a few homeless folks hanging out there, going through the trash, etc. But the beach itself is lovely and was never too crowded to find a place to make our camp. The unit itself is nicely appointed with an updated well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Beds were comfortable and linens and towels were fine. The furnishings are definitely older in the main living area but they were clean and the unit had plenty of room for 4 adults (my husband and our two grown kids). The decor throughout the unit is odd. Like, most beach rentals really go in on the "beach" theme and while this unit had a bit of that, it also had some odd choices and things that looked like they just grabbed from a garage sale. It didn't bother us at all, but if you're picky about high end or modern decor you definitely have to be prepared. North Coast Village is a MASSIVE property with many amenities. This unit is not really part of the main, towering condo-type rooms, but much easier to get in and out of whether you were walking or driving. It was a great stay and we'll be back!
