The Normandy House at Saint Malo

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This spacious three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath light and open floor plan house is located in the French chateau community of St. Malo. This community offers year-round summertime fun. The home features a lovely back patio with a gas fire pit, a large dining table, and a fantastic view of the Buena Vista Lagoon. The internal courtyard provides a beautiful space to dine and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and fabulous Southern California weather. The house is a short walk to the beach on private streets (no stairs).

Saint-Malo Beach is a 76-year-old gated community once a hidden paradise for movie stars and Los Angeles executives. The architecture is Normandy village style. The community was inspired by the island city of St. Malo, located off the Brittany coast of France. St Malo features a private beach with a clubhouse cabana, summer lifeguards, a barbecue, a covered patio, a sand volleyball court, a paddle tennis court, 2 tennis courts., and 4 pickleball courts. Prince Phillip and Princess Anne stayed at St. Malo while in San Diego during their visit to the Summer Olympics in 1984. The neighborhood has a very European feel and is considered one of the best locations in Oceanside and San Diego.

    Love love this place. The entire community of Saint Malo was beautiful and loved learning the history. The house was amazing and everything you could possibly need for a wonderful weekend. We lived the privacy and slow pace of This home. Owners have done an amazing job.

    We loved our stay here at Malo Beach. We didn’t lack for anything during our stay, between the well stocked kitchen, garage full of toys (bikes, tennis rackets, boogie boards etc) and roomy accommodations for our group of 7 we enjoyed a Thanksgiving holiday to remember. The location is beautiful, quiet and safe. We were steps from the beach and loved the quaint Malo Beach neighborhood. Will definitely be back!

    The house is dated but the lagoon porch and Saint Malo address make up for it. There is a house under construction near the beach right now, but once done that will be great as well.

    Great home!
    Great home!
    This home really has it all and everyone loved it. The furniture was comfortable. The kitchen well apportioned. There was plenty of accommodating space for everyone to come together, and have their own private time. There was no beach, but Carlsbad is a short 7 minute drive away, and Oceanside beaches are just a little further. Even so, the fact that this house is situated right on the water was relaxing and a great way to have morning coffee or an evening drink. The streets are nice and safe so a great place for little ones to ride their bikes and a great place to walk around and just enjoy the beauty of the surrounding properties.

    I love this house. It is our second time staying at this home in Saint Malo. It's so quiet and easy to relax here. The home is right on the lagoon. The only downside was that Saint Malo Beach has lost it's sand beach over the last year because they haven't been able to pump in sand first because of the pandemic, and then because of an ecological issue that has put it on hold to not interfere with the fish that are migrating through. This house has large rooms and comfortable beds. Vacasa also made it very easy to deal with any questions we had. Thank you!
