We had an outstanding stay at this place.This cute little house is one block from the beach but also has a secluded patio with a table, chairs and a fire pit. We felt like we were in our own private park!
This property is very nice and close to everything. We enjoyed the patio and beach vibes this place provided. Hosts were excellent and responded quickly to any questions we had.
This place was perfect for a long weekend with my grandparents visiting from out of state. Easily walkable to beach and bars/restaurants. Definitely recommend for those wanting to stay in OB!
This is a cute and cozy place to stay while visiting San Diego, Ocean Beach and surrounding areas. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. Location is great - only a couple-minute walk to the beach.
We really loved this place - from the lush garden of a front patio to the comfy beds, it was a perfect little beach cottage! It is a tight squeeze but also plenty of space for 4 as long as you all love each other (but would you be sharing a Vrbo with people you donât love?!?) The home had all the basic essentials stocked up, and if anything is missing you can mosey to any one of the many markets nearby. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this rental if youâre in town to relax!
We were visiting our kids who live in OB and Mission Hills and this place was perfect for us, very close to the beach, shops , downtown OB and the courtyard was a great place for us to gather. The place itself is modern and nicely put together with care. Definitely come back!
Beautiful property. Spacious clean living area and patio. Great location. Only downside being under the flight path for the airport. Did not expect that.
We found this to be in a great location. We stayed a very short time but weâre able to enjoy Torrey Pines, La Jolla, childrenâs pool,
San Diego Zoo. We drove the cost to Laguna beach and watched many sun sets at sunset cliffs. We enjoyed Many great restaurants walking distance toward the pier.
Ended our trip for souvenirs in âold town San Diegoâ đ
This beach house is less than a 2 minute stroll to the ocean. It is as owner lists. A big bonus is the provided parking space on property. The area is peaceful, with tasty food within walking distance as well. William is easily assessable and checks in on the first day to make sure all is well. For a relaxing getaway consider this property.
The good was spending time on the patio. The bad was we didnât have time to search for a propane tank and rest assured you will have to if you want to use the fire pit or grill.
We loved our stay in San Diego. The House was immaculate and had pretty much everything we could have asked for. The only downfall for us was the No AC part. Although for the most part we were very comfortable two nights were hotter than the others. Being from Texas I didn't think to look for AC as an amenity, so I know this is on us. Other than that the stay was perfect location and family friendly :)
Cozy and neat and very very close to airport Difficult to use lock box upside down
The owners instructions are clear but the tone is threatening and off putting. We didnât feel comfortable being watched and living under threat of eviction
I have a short work trip every summer and almost always pick OB for my stay. This spot was perfect location, and so cute! We had a last minute add-on (2 moms, with 2 16 yo daughters) so it was a bit more cramped than we expected, but the beds are comfy and having two full bathrooms was a bonus! Owners did a great job making this small space work well for up to 4 people. We did yoga in the open front courtyard each morning, spent our days on the beach, went back to watch sunset each night, and had some excursions to La Jolla for snorkeling, and made a few visits to Clementine Tattoos for a permanent memento! (Joel's the BEST!) Do NOT pass up OB Noodles, and find your way to Grass Skirt Tikki restaurant in Pacific Beach one night. Thanks for a great spot to stay this year. We'll be back in OB next summer!
We enjoyed our stay. The place is small but very nicely remodeled. One of the selling points for me was the big courtyard with fireplace so when it wasn't working I was pretty disappointed. We did contact the owner about this and he was prompt to reply but the fire pit didn't get fixed. Also I did feel that the security camera over the front door was odd and I felt like I was being watched the whole time. I understand that the area might not be the safest but a disclaimer about the camera would be a nice touch. Although the beds were small, they were comfortable and anything larger definitely would not fit. All in all I would recommend. Very close to the beach and restaurants.
This cottage is pretty much a gem in the Ocean Beach section of San Diego. Very nicely redone and the outside area is a bonus...we stayed out around the fire pit every night. Only problem was the cottage is directly in the take off flight plan for the San DIego airport...starts at 6:30 am and ends around 11 pm...it is VERY LOUD!! Had to abort conversations until they passed (at one point in the morning...planes left literally every minute).
The Ocean Beach area is more a "surfer-dude" type beach...and there are many people sleeping everywhere (beach, cars, etc). The dog beach is really entertaining....soooo many dogs coming and going and playing...fun to watch. William was kind to suggest a couple of restaurants we enjoyed. And the house was really very nice (could use a few more hooks to hang up clothes and a couple more bed side tables).
All in all, we had a good time and would recommend this cottage (with comments taken into consideration).
I enjoyed staying at this VRBO in San Diego. The beds are not big enough to sleep comfortably 2 people in a bed. I went there with 3 other female adults. One of my guest slept on the couch because it couldnât accommodate. There was construction next door to the place we were staying. I probably missed it but I didnât see anything in the notes from the owner there would be construction next door. The workers woke up my guest and myself the 3 days we stayed there. I stayed Thursday through Sunday. Friday and Saturday morning the workers started before 7 am. I reached out to the owner to let him know and I was told I was already informed by the property listing. I didnât see anything about construction going on while we would be staying. It happens Iâm not upset but it wouldâve been nice to sleep in. Other than the small issues it was a nice place to stay, close to the airport, beach and other places to visit.
Let me start with the positives â great location, just a few blocks from the beach, very nice place with recent updates throughout the house, very nice patio area and a reserved parking spot is very necessary.
The only negative is a major one with insufficient air conditioning. If it is above 70 degrees outside then the portable air conditioning unit is not enough to cool this space. It would keep one bedroom cool, but that wonât do when there are multiple individuals staying in the house. When I informed the host of this he did drop off three box fans. It was in the 90âs during our stay and those didnât help much. He said itâs a portable air conditioning unit so move it where you need to. This unitâs condensation tray would fill up with water in 30 minutes and a "P1" would show on the display. When that happens you must empty it or else the unit wouldnât cool, just blow air. Iâm not sure what the host expects you to do through the night. We went to a business and purchased a hose and a clamp so it could drain to a sink or a shower. We also tried to purchase an additional air conditioning unit of any kind, but with a heat wave bearing down on Southern California they were all sold out. They had an evaporating fan which we tried, but these are not air conditioners and only helped slightly. We returned this at the end of our trip. Too much of our time was spent trying to cool this space. If youâre going to list air conditioning as an amenity, then make sure itâs proficient to cool the whole space. We looked specifically for a rental with air conditioning and were willing to pay a higher price for it and it was not provided.
Weâve stayed at many rentals, but have never had to work so hard at trying to stay cool in one. Iâm a landlord in Kentucky and Iâve installed Mini Split Air Conditioning units in similar spaces. They are very efficient and affordable.
To sum it up, this issue would keep us from staying at this location again. In addition, a ten seconds video on locking the front door would be a good replacement for the paragraph trying to explain how to do it in the binder.
We feel blessed to have lived in San Diego for the past 30 years. Our wish is to create unique spaces so that our guests can experience the best that San Diego has to offer.
This property is unique because it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and located only 1/2 block from world famous Ocean Beach. Our guest get to enjoy this fantastic location as well as every modern convenience in a stylish beach bungalow. The beach lots are typically tight but this one is large by comparison. This beach house rests at the back of the lot which allows for a generous amount of outdoor space to relax and entertain. We do not accept changes to calendar 7 days prior to arrival. Please note there will be construction on the corner lot- potential noise which we have no control over
The location of the beach house is ideal to take advantage of the beach, nearby restaurants, pubs, antique shops, fishing, biking and other water front attractions.
