Villa Sotheby’s International Realty is opening an office near the beach in downtown Oceanside at the new and luxurious Oceanside Terraces. We look forward to meeting our new neighbors at or near Oceanside beaches, including homeowners of the San Miguel condos, North Coast Village, Marina Towers, the Aegean, and Oceanside’s Row Homes–to name just a few.
Great places to meet downtown Oceanside neighbors are at community events (Sunset Market) and along Oceanside beaches and the pier, where local vendors offer everything from surf lessons, bicycle rentals, Italian ices, steaming coffee and expressos, fresh-squeezed lemonade and other fun foods. Many of these foods and services are only offered during the summer season and fold up after Labor Day.
So when you are visiting Oceanside beaches this summer, you might want to keep this list on hand as a handy community guide. And if you are in the market for Oceanside real estate, please stop by our office at 301 Mission in the Oceanside Terraces to discover what this quintessential California beach city has to offer.
You may decide to stay for a lifetime!

[...] Why not head up the coast to re-discover one of California’s greatest beach towns: Oceanside–along with its famous Oceanside Harbor and its annual Harbor Days celebration. Admission is free, and the event runs from 9 a. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (September 20 and 21). Bring friends and family (and your camera!) to enjoy a fun-filled experience featuring arts and crafts, great food, games, vintage pirate ships, sailing competitions and more. Sponsored by the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, Oceanside Harbor Days provides a great opportunity to explore Oceanside, its great beaches– and experience all of its exciting new waterfront amenities. And while you are in the neighborhood, why not stroll over to the Oceanside Terraces at the corner of Mission and Cleveland–downtown Oceanside’s finest luxury condominium residences (with stunning ocean view penthouses). We’ll be there both days–and can offer cold bottled water and a tour of the complex between the hours of 11 and 4. You might also inquire about recent attractive price reductions at Oceanside Terraces as well. For additional information, call Roberta Murphy 760-402-9101 or 877-818-8197.
