Just there in December and Jan. Cindy from North Coast Village management handled 315A for us. Some minor problems when we checked in but she handled it perfectly. Rental was exactly as advertised and again, Cindy went overboard to make sure we were happy. Use her for rentals in the area. read more

Location: Fab! It's great to not have to find parking to go to the beach!!! Even if west want to play games indoors, open up the sliding balcony door and you get to reap the benefits of the sights, smells, and sounds of the ocean without the sun damage and sand in places where the sun doesn't shine. Price: Perfect! Two families combined in one condo unit full of amenities paid the same (per day) than if each family paid for a separate hotel room NOT on the beach. Not to mention we have a huge balcony with seating. Cleanliness: This is the reason for the lack of the fifth star. Most VRBO units are outdated, so that's expected, and this was no exception. There were several long black hairs all over the bathroom floor and in the tub when we came in... Gross! read more

This place is tight! The ocean is out the front door and the Oceanside Marina is out the back door. Privately owned vacation 1, 2 or 3 Bedroom rentals that offer either an ocean view or a harbor view. Tough choice. All first floor units have patios and all upper units have balconies. Every unit has: Full Kitchens Cable Television Private Telephone Internet Access Towels & Linens Private pool, spa and parking at no extra charge. Daily, weekly or monthly rates. $150 and up per night. Each unit individually owned so the decor and condition from unit to unit. It is situated on the nicest beach in Oceanside and one of the best in San Diego. Walking distance to many wonderful shops and restaurants at the Oceanside Harbor. But wait there's more! There's a nearby bait shop and boat rentals as well at reasonable prices. For boat rentals see http://www.marinadelmar.net/boatrentals.htm read more

Our stay here in 210A on 6/08/19 was TERRIBLE. We booked in the beginning of February. A couple months later we were told about POOL/HOT TUB RENOVATIONS that they would not be available, So they would give us a discount. Very disappointing but we could live with it. OK we arrive and the RENOVATIONS ARE IN POOL AREA AND ALL ALONG THE BACK OF THE CONDOS ALONG THE BEACH.. The worse part is their HUGE TRASH DUMPSTER is right outside OUR PATIO VIEW OF THE OCEAN. And people thought is was a regular trash dumpster and put their bags in it 80 degree weather and guess what IT SMELLS HORRIBLE.... it was Saturday check in so they say Monday they will try to get it emptied, well THATS JUST GREAT but it is NOT OK to have that NASTY SMELLING DUMPSTER right outside our door with no way NOT TO LOOK or SMELL IT. And think that's bad about 5 or 6 condos down further they get to see and smell 2 PORTA POTTYS !! Really put them over in front of your offices.. not the condos you have rented to us.. Then top that all off NO INTERNET access, says to many people are already using it. Well that's just great more time waiting to get internet then the manager lets us use her personal password because the acct was supposedly hacked. My whole problem with this rental situation is they COMPLETELY HAVE NOT TOLD US THE TRUTH HERE... A little pool/hot tub renovation NO WAY this whole beach view side is UNDER CONSTRUCTION from one end to the other with porta potty's and a large roll off stinky trash container right in our beach view THAT WE HAVE PAID FOR. If they would have been honest about what really was happening we would of CANCELED, we do understand renovations need to be done. We would of chose not to have this on our vacation and Stay at some other place. But NO they decided to HIDE THE TRUTH TO MAKE THEIR MONEY. So yes I DID ASK FOR MORE OF OUR MONEY BACK because of all these issues, They offered a room on the other side of the building (we chose this condo for ONE REASON THE OCEAN VIEW) so NO this is not a option to move their . The actual Owner of the condo 210a just refuses to give us any money back due to this !! And their is NO AIR CONDITIONING and just ONE FAN for this whole house and NO CEILING FANS so it's TERRIBLY HOT.. And parking is Awful we could not park are mini van in the spot because it was to narrow, their remedy park in front but good luck finding a spot because the beach people park in their also ! So STAY AWAY FROM 210A !!! This review is on 6/10/2019 this place is still under MAJOR CONSTRUCTION and will be for MONTHS !!!!! read more

Our family travels to Oceanside every summer and we stay at the Marina del Mar condos. Although the building complex is probably 20+ years old, each unit is individually owned, so the decor and accomodations vary - we've stayed in (or been in) 6 different units and have been satisfied each time. Google San Diego Vacation Doorways for more information and pictures of each unit. The beach across from the condos is clean, has decent surf and is perfect for laying out! There are always surfers in the water each time we've visited. There are two life guard stands within the stretch of beach you'd spend your day on, and they clearly mark tide info, etc. each day for swimmer/surfer safety. There are a few fire pits on the beach as well, however, they are usually spoken for early in the day. There is an RV campground down the street from the condos, but even so, the beaches never feel over-crowded, even on the weekends in August. The Marina del Mar complex is 3-stories with an A side (beach side) and a B side (harbor side). The harbor units are a little cheaper and a little quieter (minus the occasional sea lion call), however, even the B side units are still within 50 yrds of having your feet on the sand. The complex has a pool and jacuzzi, 3-bbq's and are all within walking distance of the harbor shops/restaurants (Joe's Crab Shack, Cannery Restaurant and Rockin' Baja Lobster are three chains within the harbor). There is a small sports bar inside the harbor shops and a new rooftop Oceanside Lighthouse Oyster Bar and Grill, but I haven't been to either and can't comment on their service. Downtown Oceanside is an easy mile walk south of the harbor. Oceanside is a military town (Camp Pendleton is next door), but a family beach destination as well. There is a Ruby's at the end of the Oceanside peir and a 16 screen movie theater on the main drag. The Metrolink and Amtrak both stop in Oceanside, so taking the train is a good option. There is a farmer's market near the library/civic center on Thursdays where you can stock up on fresh foods and local artisan crafts. We normally have access to a car and therefore, travel a few miles to the local chain grocery store - don't know from personal experience where you can shop for essentials if you don't have a car. Oceanside is not "resort"ish, if that makes sense, but if you're looking to put your toes in the sand and have a nice time doing it, I'd recommend it. read more

My family and I have been coming here for sometime and I have never once been dissatisfied. I constantly request a unit on the A side (the beach side) and have been coming here on all seasons and during some major events like Harbor days. We rent out a 1 bedroom on the ground floor that has 2 queen beds in the bedroom and has an additional sofa bed in the living room. This place can comfortably sleep 6 people. The accommodations come with an open living room , a wet bar, dining room and a in elevated deck with chairs so you can watch the beach and the sunset. These units are all privately owned, which gives you the possibility of making a better deal for the unit. The units I request, 103 A, I found on VRBO.COM and the deals they offer are great for not only a weekend rental but also for week long and month long rentals. I highly recommend staying here. read more

Wonderful place!! Cross the street to the sand or take a walk to one of the many restaurants. Our condo was well equipped with everything we needed for the week. Beach chairs, towels, even a small ice chest! Our condo had a "Beachy Cottage" feel and was very comfortable. Our two boys slept comfortably on the living room futon with a thick mattress. After our busy day, we relaxed in the pool and jacuzzi. In the evenings we enjoyed listening to the music from the balcony, and watching the boats come into the harbor. We will definitely be returning. read more

My husband and I stayed here for 1 month. It was absolutely horrible! Our condo (306A) smelled terrible no matter how much we aired it out, the internet ran less than 1 mbps, and the staff were very unfriendly and unreceptive to our complaints. As well as this, the condo was extremely outdated. The sheets didn't even fit the bed. We wasted 2 whole bottles of Fabreeze trying to get out the sour smell to no avail. It's been two months since we checked out and only just received the $500 deposit back- but the front of the check wasn't even signed! Instead of voiding the check and apologizing for the added inconvenience, they expect us to pay for postage across the country so they can sign the check and send it back across the country to us. To qualify this argument, the location was great and the beach view was very nice. It was also very secure and safe. Otherwise, if you want an enjoyable vacation, stay away from Marina Del Mar! read more

I have stayed in these condos over the last 12 years through different incarnations of the management which have slowly gotten worse over time These condos - which I have stay each year to race in a triathlon in that area. Which this was the more convenient place to stay in. For the exorbitant amount that you pay - considering all the other VRB condos near this area, I would have expected clean well maintained and stocked condos but each year, it's the same Low-end, poorly maintained - usually old fixtures 20+ years old which are broken down, not clean condos - your feet are filthy if you want on the floors with clean socks or barefeet. The linens and bedding are questionable on when or how they were laundered. Although they have a kitchen in each of the condos, I have gotten to the point ,when I stay, to bring at least 1 pot with a lid, a sharp knife, cutting boards, extra dish washer detergent, paper towels, extra rolls of toilet paper ( they buy cheap nasty toilet paper and leave you 1-2 rolls for 3+ people), soap (you get some cheap 1" soaps sealed in plastic bags) , salt and pepper and anything else you may need to cook with, spare trash bags, your own clean towel and maybe a clean pillow. I stay here for the location and for the race each year, not because to the amenities or clean peaceful condos. I don't think I would ever go and stay in these tired, dirty condos, unless I really wanted to stay close to the beach and didn't care about the condo or the amenities. Definitely not a place I would recommend as a vacation property. You can go elsewhere for better for less cost read more

A hidden gem! First time coming here and I really enjoyed myself. The beach right across was very clean. Boats and boats, sooo many.

We LOVE Marina Del Mar!! Close to the ocean, and the kids love to walk to Nana's and Pops sweet shop in the afternoon Jessica B. rolled out the red carpet welcoming us and we felt like we were staying with family. The best place to stay in Southern CA! read more

Good luck trying to book any time at this condo!! I am extremely disappointed with the way the new management is running this condo. My family and I have been coming here since the 1980's. We meet up with friends about 2-3 times a year. Well, due to my family all moving there own way, we haven't been able to all meet up. We were all finally able to have time so we have been trying to book a week. You have no idea how excited my family and I were to be going back and keeping our traditions alive! It is IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of ANYONE there anymore. I have left at least 10 voicemails to John Brown mostly and Tamarah Brown and NEVER ONCE got a phone call back. I live about 2 hours away so I had no choice but to drive to oceanside just to go to the office and book it in person. I end up showing up, they would not stop apologizing to me. I spoke with Jessica at the time and she just gave me a piece of paper and a phone number to book it. So i was very happy and excited now. Thinking there was hope! Well, here we go again trying to call them back. No luck. So I called the office and spoke with two receptionist. They were extremely sorry and disappointed on how new management was running the place would not stop apologizing. They told me to keep calling if John would not return my calls. So I called 4 times a week! Never once got a phone call back. I finally got an email from him saying just to let him know when I wanted to book it. I told him what we wanted and I asked for pricing and to please call me back, not email me. His response in his email back to me was, go on this website and all your questions are answered there. WOOOW!!!!!! really?!? No luck! So, I called my friend who is a real-estate agent thinking she may have better luck than me. Guess what, she never even got a response!! She told me, she thinks its a scam and Thinks They are doing something very fishy over there. I am truly disappointed because the best memories I have of my childhood is being at those condos with friends and family. Those traditions are over now due to poor management. At least I have my memories. A complete joke! We never got to do our family get together because they never would respond. read more

Perfect location. Beach on one side, marina on the other. heated pool. Spa. My heaven.

My boys and I LOVED Marina Del Mar! Very clean, comfortable and relaxing with plenty to do. Great family fun on the beach, beautiful weather & sunsets... We WILL be back. BEST memories to last a lifetime for my boys! Plus I felt very safe (single mom), big deal for me.... Thank you so much Jessica B. you will be hearing from us soon!!! read more

From the moment we booked to the time we left, we did not have to worry about a thing. We learned our way around Oceanside quickly and we were able to walk most places. The condo was clean, well-stocked, sufficiently furnished and large enough for our family of 6 to spread out. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the porch and all day at the beach. We loved the staff. They helped us with everything from parking to internet access. We had the best family vacation we've had in years! I can't wait to book again for this summer! read more

UNIT 306A - We were all set to rent this 2 BD and then the owner came back and decided she wanted it for the whole month of July. Terrible customer service! I will NEVER rent from Squared Away Rental and we have been going there for 20+ years. read more
