Walk to the beach! Heart of Ocean Beach!

It's a little bit funky, it's a little bit retro, and it's ALL beachy fun!

Located in the heart of one of San Diego's most famous beach communities and within walking distance to the ocean and to the heart of the Ocean Beach community, our place offers everything you might need to rest, rejuvenate and have some fun in San Diego!

Not only are we right down the street from shopping, restaurants and entertainment, but we are mere minutes from San Diego's best beaches, including Pacific Beach, La Jolla and Del Mar. Sea World is right around the corner, Balboa Park is just a hop, skip and a jump away, and the Gaslamp District is about 10 minutes down Interstate 5. Let's just say we're about 10 minutes from almost any place you might want to visit in our amazing city, as well as the San Diego International Airport!

This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep four. Our beach cottage features a queen-sized bed, along with a very comfortable sofa sleeper. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and amenities include free parking, free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV.

Guest Access

You will have access to the entire bungalow and all amenities, including the front yard outdoor space and, of course, sunny San Diego!

If you’re looking for a laid back beach to hang out like a local, look no further than Ocean Beach. This small beach town is a favorite among locals who spend their days surfing, sun bathing around the pier, hanging out and strolling through the many surf shops, taco stands and antique malls. Ocean Beach offers the pitch perfect throw-back groovy vibe of vintage SoCal, coupled with friendly locals, great dining, and a vibrant night life scene.

Nestled between the San Diego River and the hills of Point Loma, Ocean Beach is perfect for surfers to enjoy the waves created by jetties. The beach is super friendly for swimmers and sun bathers!

Getting around

A rental car is strongly recommended! Otherwise, Uber, Lyft and taxicabs are the best bets, but mediocre SoCal public transportation is also available. ;)

Cute bungalow
Very cute beach bungalow. 10 minute walk to beach. Five minute walk to eateries. Very close to lots of places such as Old Town and SDSU. Sunset cliffs were gorgeous. Lots of amenities in the place. Extra sheets and towels. Coffee maker was appreciated. Only suggestion is to bring earplugs as walls are thin and we did hear guests in adjacent unit. Owners were very responsive to questions.

Great location, cute place. No complaints. It was hot, but I guess there was abnormally hot weather when we were there. Opened the windows and turned on the fans and it cooled off pretty quick.

Review of Ocean Beach cottage
The property could have been cleaner overall. There were no sheets for the pull out couch. We needed to use the fans, but not all of them worked and they were very dirty. I needed to dust and clean them before using them. The location was great and near to where family were staying.

Clean on the inside, dilapidated on the outside, neighborhood felt unsafe.
I did not stay any nights at this property. I spent approximately 2 hours in the property. I paid for 5 nights in advance based on the description of the property. I ended up paying to stay at a hotel (additional $1500.00). It was my first visit to San DIego. The outside of the property appeared neglected and run down, as were the neighboring houses. The storm door was completely rusted over. There were multiple units facing each other (not facing the road). Upon entering the residence, it was very hot. The temperature reading on the thermostat was 94 degrees. The inside of the property was clean and as presented in the pictures, except much darker. I opened the windows and turned on a couple of fans. It remained very hot. I did not feel comfortable leaving the windows open through the night as they were all low and easily accessible by anyone. I did not feel safe. I did not feel comfortable. I notified the owner of the property and explained my situation. He did not respond for several hours but offered no remedies or solutions. I responded to the owner with greater explanation. He never responded. I have stayed at many VRBO properties over the past ten years. This was my worst experience with a property and the owner.

Could use some improvements but basics are all there.
This location is awesome and a great "bro pad". Definitely suited best for a couple or single person who is wanting to explore Ocean Beach. The accomodations for a third guest were not ideal so something to consider. Believe them when they say the place is aged. Cute décor, great location but could use some improvements (many of which I suggested for the next traveler(s).). Although our last morning there wasn't ideal, the communication with the owner and the response to our concerns were addressed quickly. Hopefully they took the feedback and put it to good use!

Great location and responsive owner
We enjoyed our stay at the beach house! It is in a great location. The house is close to town with restaurants, stores, the beach, etc. Inside, the house is a bit dated, but for the price and location, it was well worth it. The owner was very responsive when we had questions and communicated with us throughout our stay as needed.

Enjoy a short beach walk access get away
Property as described. The queen bed was just not enough room to sleep comfortably as we have king size. Decided to cook one evening as there were plenty of cooking and eating utensils provided, even oils and some spices in the cupboard. Coffee maker and filters worked fine. We brought our ground coffee. The afternoons from 3:00 to 6:00 pm heated up the unit. Better plan on activities outside during the time. Drew was helpful I recommending activities when we emailed him. He would email reply nimbly. Parking in rear use the lane way. When we arrived the street parking was full in front. That’s was a relief to find but not until we had to walk to make several trips to unpack our vehicle. Once we spent the entire day we made it work for us. Location down street lead straight to ocean about 5 short blocks. Easy walking distance to downtown Ocean Beach restaurants and shops. Sunsets were the end of the days treat. Weather in the 70. Beautiful. Great little find. Thanks Drew for being a gracious host.

Cute Bungalow
This is a cute little bungalow. The size was great for our girls trip. The only problem we encountered was that two out of the three fans were broken. Since we used the bedroom and the front room for sleeping, only one of us got a fan. The fan was helpful drowning out the all the planes overhead. It was pretty warm when we returned at the end of the day and a second fan would’ve been nice. The designated parking in the back was awesome. Otherwise, I’m not sure how close we could’ve parked. Other than the fans, our visit was great!

The property was amazing and perfect for a young couple. The front yard was tidy and room for kids to play if need be. The best part, in my opinion, was the location. Everything we needed and more was right there in short walking distance including the beach. Even walking late at night after dark, we felt safe in this neighborhood and would definitely recommend !
