Southern California Beach Club

Great spot right on the ocean. Location location location is great. Price very reasonable for it. Full kitchen and great front staff. I’d recommend it for a vacation It’s and older building but. Has been renovated recently. The kitchen was nice and full for a one bedroom. Probably best deal for California beach lifestyle on the beach for price.

The view and the location are both outstanding. We stayed in an oceanfront 1-bedroom on the 3rd floor. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beach is literally right there. There are stores and restaurants a short walk away. It's also a quick drive to many other fun activities in San Diego. The only negative is the pull-out couch in the living room isn't the most comfortable, but that's true of most pull-out couches. If you're going to use the pull-out couch and have room in your luggage, maybe pack a mattress topper to add a little extra cushioning.

Southern CA Beach Club is bar none the best long-time local condo rental place on The Strand with panoramic views of the white water surf, the pier, and the Oceanside Beach. They provide well-appointed, comfortably furnished condos with full kitchens and all the amenities of home away from home. They have elevators and luggage carts which make it very elder friendly and convenient. Their staff is warm, welcoming, EXTREMELY helpful and VERY friendly. They go out of their way to make their guests feel like family and owners feel like they really own their home away from home. We witnessed one of their staff member coming down to help an elderly lady traveling alone to unload her luggage and get it to her condo, something we have not seen at other timeshare/condo rental units where we have stayed. Then overheard them ask if there was any other way they could help her to get settled. We like the fact that there is a filtered hot and cold water machine on the floor where we stayed, so we no longer have to haul drinking water by the gallons to our unit for a week's stay. The ice machine is right there, as well. They offer free bikes to check out, beach chairs, umbrellas, and all the extras for the beach like beach towels, etc. So we do not need to haul all that with us either. We loved So. Cal. Beach Club so much that we decided to purchase another week's stay within 3 weeks of our first stay, and have decided to sell our other timeshare down the street. We can't say enough about how much we love So. Cal. Beach Club and their 24/7 amazing staff! From the General Manager, Sean Herriott, who sets the tone of outstanding service and caring for guests' needs to Nicole, front desk agent and room/house attendant to Gabby, their newest housekeeping lady, all their staff is truly wonderful!

Our one-bedroom unit was on the third-floor behind the row of rooms that faced the ocean. As it was a corner room, there was a glimpse of the ocean and the pier and a linear park to be seen from that one window. Location was excellent. Gated parking garage space is assigned upon check-in. The kitchen had everything we needed and, in general, the room was well-maintained. There is a laundry room on the garage level. There is a loading zone in front of the Beach Club for checking in. The Beach Club sits above the Strand and it is one-way. It takes a little effort to circle the block and make your way down to the lower Strand level for parking garage access. The linear park just below our window was a favorite spot for homeless people to sleep at night and hang out during the day. While we were there, a small wedding was in progress. As it was quite chilly during March, we did not go into the water but there were so many things to see and do in Oceanside that we did not miss it. Our week went by with very few hiccups and we would stay there again. The "Resort Fee" is quite steep and whatever amenities there were, we did not take advantage of them. There were bikes and some beach items available but the daily resort fee really is excessive. Owners do not pay that fee. Timeshare exchangers and others do.

I just returned from a week’s stay at this resort. The staff were more than exceptional! They went above and beyond expectations to deliver stellar service. The resort location is perfect, and ocean views are mesmerizing. The unit was comfortable and had everything we needed for cooking. The use of beach chairs and bicycles was an added treat. I can not recommend Southern California Beach Club enough! -Rhonda Buck

The hotel was very nice and staff was very helpful. Very nice view. There is an ocean nearby the hotel and I think it is an excellent area for spring and summer time. The hotel has space for barbecue and I think this hotel will be nice to stay with family or friends or couples.

The Resort was so clean and nice. There were bikes to use, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas to use. Near so many restaurants and kioshis with coffee, etc. The Oceanside pier was just within walking distance.

Disappointed to not be informed that there was no A/C, location was nice. My first time at a resort so close to the beach. If I went back again, I would prefer to book a room with an view facing the ocean

This place must be the least desirable resort managed by Grand Pacific. Not a big place (maybe 50 units) but good location on The Strand about a block from the pier. The bathroom must have been done by low bidder due to the poor plumbing layout and the backwards shower door overlap. Lighting is terrible for shaving, Loud ****** in park next door annoying plus the fools gunning their engines on the strand.. Bottom of my feet were black from flooring. Parking is in the gated underground garage is the worst ever. The side I was assigned to was for compact cars. I was driving a full size. Front desk apologized (and said they won't use it) And gave me the option to park for free by the meters on the street. To do so you must hang a placard on the mirror issued by the city of Oceanside. Parker beware, lose the placard and you pay a $500 FINE. Shocked by the prices on their high resale hot list prices and the great reviews left by others. Resort fee of $25/day is a rip.
