Oceanfront Living for Surfers & Sun Seekers at North Coast Village
Dolphin Dreams Cottage - C7 at North Coast Village
Welcome to Dolphin Dreams Cottage, where the ocean breeze and waves are just a stone’s throw away from your doorstep! This cozy cottage unit boasts three extra windows, flooding the space with natural light and creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The beachy decor and comfortable furnishings will be your perfect escape after a day of soaking up the sun and riding the waves. The living area features a queen sleeper sofa, loveseat, and recliner, all connected to your own spacious patio with a lush green area and a partial ocean view. A charming stone fireplace and estate shutters add a touch of elegance to the ambiance.
The kitchen is equipped with granite counters and backsplash, a glass top stove, and all the essentials you need for cooking up a storm. It also includes a blender, coffee maker, toaster, dishes, pots, pans, and cooking utensils.
The primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a Cal King mattress, a walk-in shower, and granite counters. The second bedroom has a full and twin bed. Dolphin Dreams comes with one reserved garage parking space.
In addition to all the amenities, Make My Vacation also provides all linens and towels, beach chairs, and beach towels. The living room TV is set up for your entertainment, and you’ll also enjoy 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, laundry rooms, and 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. Be sure to taste the cedar-planked Salmon!

We stay at North Coast Village annually and this was our favorite unit so far! There were a couple things we couldn’t find- but went to Walmart to buy whatever we needed, it wasn’t anything crazy. Overall, would definitely stay here again!

The apartment is one of the best we ever booked as it iOS 30 seconds from the beach, great facilities like the pool, Billard and gym. The apartment was super clean and nicely decorated. We loved the patio most and enjoyed the ocean view while having breakfast. Parking is for free in the basement. We definitely recommend this stay.

Great location, easy beach access. Very clean unit. 2 bedrooms make it comfortable for sleeping. Unit also came with a bunch of beach accessories like chairs, football, boogie boards etc.The unit is next to a fairly busy street, so if you have young kids (infants) that have a hard time sleeping, I would look for a unit on the inside of the complex.

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 trip was amazing, but the room was a big part of it. the room was very comfortable with nice lazy boys and a decent couch. The kitchen is very functionable with an oven, which is convenient if you like to cook instead of eat out, and previous reviews of a bad coffee maker has be resolved, this room has a nice one, plus an ice maker in the freezer is a pleasant surprise.
the selling point for this room though has to be the patio, large quiet and both open and secluded, it was quite tranquil in the mornings, having coffee and listening to the birds sing. this room is perfect for people with mobility issues as well, easy access to the beach and parking without a ton of stairs means that even my brother and his bad knees had a wonderful time. I would stay in this room again, and encourage others to do so as well.

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.
This unit was perfect for us size wise and close to the beach. It was equipped pretty good. Only few recommendations such as a few large bowls in the kitchen for salads, chips ect. and door matts outside entrances to help keep sand out. We did donate one door matt to the unit! A tv in each room was great but they were kind of tricky to operate sometime not being able to find the Cox cable at all. The chairs at the kitchen table were very warn and the sofa and living room chairs and area rug could use a good steam leaning also. Otherwise all was pretty good. We were there in September and it was cold and cloudy most of the time, however it was very difficult to keep the bedrooms cool. Being a ground floor unit was not safe to leave windows open during the the night or when we were gone from unit, can't imagine how it would be in the summertime.

Reviewer Comments:
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!

We loved our stay in this unit. We come for a family reunion every other year and this has been our favorite location yet, it was so easy to run back and forth from the beach. Kitchens was well stocked. Appreciated hooks for towels. My only complaint is paying over $4,000 and not even getting toilet paper for the week. Come on. Soap and shampoo are annoying but toilet paper is just too far. I mean you’re talking maybe what, $5 per family to have enough rolls to last a week? That is just a gross level of greed. The “basic supplies” were the same for 2 people renting for only a few nights as they were for 6 people renting for a week. I feel like something small put a damper on our visit as someone had to rush out to the store one day because we didn’t realize there wasn’t more somewhere. It’s just the principle.

The location is amazing! Close to downtown and the harbor. The furniture was a little dated and worn, but comfortable. Very enjoyable stay.
Clean and everything we needed was available in the cottage. Easy access to the beach and stores. I also loved having extra pillows, towels and kitchen stuff.
We’ve stayed at the complex before and it’s really nice. There were a couple things that didn’t work but the management was quick about it.

Perfect for our family getaway.
Check-in was easy, kitchen good size with most of what we needed, wifi work streaming available, love the outside patio but the best part was on ground level so easy walk to beach and/or the pool. Grandkids here for a few days so both beach and pool were perfect! We will be back!
The unit was clean, parking and check in was easy. There we plenty of beach toys for my son and it was 20ft from the sand. The unit does get hot, there was no ac, but plenty of fans to circulate the air. Can’t wait to come back.
My family and I had a great time! The house was nice and very clean. We would love to stay at the beach cottage again in the future.

Very nice place to stay for a couple of days. While the back door did not open up to sand, the beach was less than 100 yards away. The amenities were well maintained, and we took advantage of them daily, including the pools, hot tubs, and grills. We will definitely be looking to book again for our next trip out west!
