We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.

While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.

Sunset’s Insider Guide series highlights seasonal diversions and secret travel tips from local experts. Follow along as we learn where to eat, drink, stay, and shop.

Meet the Insider: Daniel Castillo, owner and pitmaster of Heritage Barbecue & Beer Co.

What was once a sleepy little beach town is having a major moment, with up-and-coming game changers like Michelin-recognized chef Daniel Castillo calling this San Diego County surf city home. Oceanside has deep ties to SoCal surf culture (it is home to the California Surf Museum, after all), but there’s so much to see beyond the shapers. Here, the acclaimed pitmaster shares some of his favorite craft-driven spots in the area.

EAT

Wrench & Rodent is an “unpretentious punk rock sushi spot with locally caught seafood—traditional methods with untraditional ingredients. Why this is not in the Michelin guide, I have no idea. Go for the specials menu and get rewarded with dry-aged sashimi, fish ribs, and fish wings! They also have this amazing side concept called Shootz, located inside Bottlecraft, where they do killer poke.” Dija Mara offers “Southeast Asian street food done right. The star here: the vegetables, coal-roasted and brushed with animal fats. Get the eggplant! Don’t leave without trying some funky natty wines, like a pét-nat paired with chef’s fermented sauces.”

STAY

Oceanside has two new stylish hotels by Hyatt, Mission Pacific and The Seabird, but for some locally owned flavor, stay at The Green Room Hotel, a “hip little motel with a minimalist modern aesthetic” where you’ll find “Palm Springs vibes, but better since we’re by the sea. Walk next door for a free craft brew on us at Heritage Barbecue & Beer Co.” The Brick Hotel “is rich in history and has seen Oceanside change through the good, the hood, and good again. This hotel leans towards more luxe with a swanky rooftop bar. Frankie’s is adjacent—a great, unpretentious local craft cocktail bar and oyster bar and restaurant, all wrapped up in one.”

DRINK

“Head brewer Blake Masoner is making the best IPAs at Craft Coast Beer & Tacos (aside from our brewer Mike Aubuchon, of course).” Come for the “awesome, laid-back atmosphere” and “people-watch on downtown’s bustling Mission Avenue. They’re also churning out some of the best birria tacos in O’side. Get the dark Mexican lager with a lime, and order the tacos ’Craft Coast Style.’” Coffee is huge in Oceanside, and there’s no shortage of stellar coffee shops to choose from. Captain’s Grounds and The Cup are “mom-and-pop shops… where the locals go” and you can “get your Yeti cup filled for $1.” Vigilante Coffee “imports and roasts on-site,” sourcing beans from around the world. “Do a pour-over with beans fermented with macerated peaches. They do cuppings where you can sample one-of-a-kind, crazy good coffee.”

DO

There’s “no better place to people watch than The Strand,” especially on Sundays. “It gets packed with lowriders cruising, families biking, and people getting their steps in.” Check out The Jazzy Wishbone, The Pour House, or The Moose Lodge to “listen to anything from punk rock to reggae and everything in between. At The Real Surf Shop, you can rent boards for cheap and pick up some witty merch, like shaper Shawn Ambrose’s barrio-famous T-shirt emblazoned with ‘Oceanside, a sunny place for shady people,’ designed by local artist TMACK.”

Camp Pendleton firefighters help protect local community

OCEANSIDE, CA --Firefighters with Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Fire Department assisted the neighboring community of Oceanside and their first responder teams by answering the call for a vegetation fire in Oceanside, California, July 9, 2023.

OCEANSIDE, CA --

Firefighters with Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Fire Department assisted the neighboring community of Oceanside and their first responder teams by answering the call for a vegetation fire in Oceanside, California, July 9, 2023. The CPFD mission is to provide fire and emergency services to prevent, protect and support recovery efforts aboard MCB Camp Pendleton and surrounding communities. The CPFD provides safety to the community both on and off the installation.

This dedication to safety was demonstrated when a fire broke out on the intersection of Frazee Road and College Boulevard in Oceanside. The fire burned a total of 21 acres and posed a threat to over 100 people and multiple businesses, according to Oceanside Fire Department Public Affairs Officer, John Regner.

In the final stages of putting out the initial fire another fire sparked from the embers and we had to call for additional help, said Regner. It was at this time, two CPFD engines responded in effort to battle the blaze.

Capt. Jesse Montijo of the CPFD said his first thought when getting the call was controlling the fire and protecting the people. “We were mainly keeping the fire in check. It was surrounded by streets on all four sides, and it was our priority to keep the embers and ashes from spreading to nearby houses,” said Montijo.

The CPFD provides many services apart from putting out fires, they are also technical experts in fire protection and prevention, emergency medical services, hazmat, technical rescue to support the life and safety of the community, and as always continuous training said Deputy Fire Chief Peter Korodini of the CPFD.

“We do monthly training with the local fire departments, we do the planning of everything from our drills operations, manuals, sharing of resources to the boots on the ground,” Korodini said.

“We are the leaders throughout the state on the way we have brought together several agencies.” Deputy Fire Chief Peter Korodini of the CPFD

CPFD has partnerships throughout San Diego County as well as the state of California.

These partnerships are extremely important to both MCB Camp Pendleton and neighboring communities and can be the difference between life and death when a fire occurs.

“Camp Pendleton automatically responds to fires in Oceanside, and in return Oceanside helps us and provides resources to Camp Pendleton,” said Regner.

MCB Camp Pendleton continues to work with local agencies to ensure safety and promote quality of life for our Marines, Sailors, and families. The CPFD fulfills a variety of efforts to the base and community by providing public education on fire season, health care checks as well as participating in local community events.

California wildfires are unexpected and oftentimes start without warning. Being able to respond to a fire within minutes and having the support of local agencies and departments is critical.

We could be fighting a fire in Northern California or right outside the base, said Korodini. These mutually beneficial relationships are extremely important to MCB Camp Pendleton and local communities.

“It's not just about us sending our resources out there to the community, it's also a means for them to come onto the base and help us, " Korodini said. “It could be a fire that overwhelms our resources, we've had large-scale events where we need to seek assistance. They know the same for them, they can always call for our help.”

One of these such incidents was an Oceanside fire on Sunday, where the CPFD responded and worked together with the Oceanside, North County Fire, Chula Vista, Vista, San Marcos, North County, Cal Fire and Carlsbad Fire Departments.

“We got the call and where we were supposed to respond. From there we headed out to our rigs, got dressed and rolled out,” said Motijo, “along the way we got updates on the radio from the incident command that was already on scene and as we pulled up, they gave us our assignment and we went to work from there.” At the scene Montijo and the rest of the CPFD crew worked with the other departments to get the fire under control.

“We’re all trained and operate the same way, so there's really no difference in the way that we’re going to handle a situation,” said Korodini, “the only difference between us and them, when we’re on the scene, is the badge,” he said.

Every responder has the same mission, and the fire departments work together seamlessly to get the job done. “Everyone has the same goal in mind to put this fire out as quickly as possible and to not make a bigger incident than it already is,” said Montijo. “I love going out there and fighting fires on base and out in town, just helping people in their time of need.”

MCB Camp Pendleton is committed to the safety of the public and continues to build mutually beneficial relationships with local communities.

In addition to recently completing the University of San Diego’s (USD) NCAA golf training facility designed by Phil Mickelson, Level 10 has worked on several athletic complexes in San Diego including USD’s Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center, a host for the NCAA West Regional Championships and West Coast Conference Championships. “We are excited to partner with Frontwave Arena for the construction of this venue project in Oceanside that will serve as the center for sports, entertainment, and community events in North San Diego County,” said Mike Conroy, Level 10’s vice president of operations in San Diego.

“As we head into the final stages of construction, we look forward to setting the new standard for sports and entertainment in North County,” stated Frontwave Arena CEO Phil Salvagio.

Frontwave Arena Chief Operating Officer Josh Elias added, “Given the tremendous growth and vitality of North County San Diego and South Orange County, the arena provides a much-needed home for sports and entertainment and creates a space for locals, visitors and our military communities to gather. Frontwave Arena will be a landmark in the community for generations to come.”

Frontwave Arena will showcase the best and brightest names in music of all genres, headline comedy, family shows, and community events. In addition to the 16-time pro indoor soccer champion San Diego Sockers, the venue will host a growing roster of sports teams, league tournaments, combat sports, and special events for thrilling year-round athletic competitions.

Frontwave Arena will deliver premium fan experiences throughout 16 luxury suites, eight bars, three VIP viewing decks, two exclusive lounges and an open-air patio. The concourse level will offer a variety of craft food and beverage options. An outdoor plaza with its own performance stage and concessions will host community events, branded activities, and more.

The arena’s naming rights agreement, a 10-year partnership with Frontwave Credit Union, reflects the member-owned not-for-profit financial institution’s commitment to the community. “Frontwave has been serving the local community for 70 years, and we’re proud to be a key partner in this exciting project that will benefit the entire North County region,” said Bill Birnie, President/CEO of Frontwave Credit Union.
