Right in Ocean Beach, 2 blocks from the beach, walkable to just about everything. Nicely appointed, responsive owners. Great!

The unit was super easy to get to and check in to. Clean place with plenty of fans and an awesome welcome gift of wine and snacks. Super easy to communicate with the hosts. Easy walk to bars and restaurants, but still a couple blocks away from each to give a quiet street. Also very close to beach access as well.

The place was really cute, clean and comfy. I loved all the plants and the welcome basket. It's close to everything - beach, restaurants, coffee. There's no A/C so it was a little bit warm but there are ceiling fans and we opened the windows, which felt safe up on the top floor. The owners were nice. Would definitely stay here again!

The communication was the owner was an absolute nightmare I had to contact vrbo to be able to commit with him and at the end he gave us the wrong code and the lady from downstairs was able to help us to get in
Plus the owner didn't leave enough toilet paper or garbage bags and we had to buy our own supply

The property very comfortable and had all the needed supplies and amenities. The check in with the host was seamless. He was very responsive and friendly. The location was excellent. We walked and rode the beach cruisers everywhere. ( They were provided) We didn’t have a car but didn’t need one. We took Uber to farther distances. They also had beach towels and beach items to borrow. I highly recommend this beach bungalow.

Awesome 4 day weekend at Ocean Beach. Erich's unit was within walking distance of the beach, coffee shops and some very good craft beer joints. OB is an eclectic mix of humanity and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back! Highly recommended. Thank you.

Property is walking distance to bars, shops, restaurants. Cute place, has everything you need. Clean/well-kept apartment — and only a block from the beach.
The noise from neighbors and airplanes did wake us up but not too much of a nuisance. We would stay again. Ocean Beach got some bad reviews because it isn’t glamorous like La Jolla or other areas. We found it more down to earth and low-key. There are some homeless folks that hang around the shopping/bar area but they never made us feel wary. Still saw lots of people walking at all times of the day.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The host was very responsive to our questions. The location is great and easily walkable to the beach, shopping and dining. The neighborhood is safe and clean. I especially enjoyed mornings on the balcony with a cup of coffee and some soft music. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great spot in the heart of OB
Loved this place. Perfectly kept and wonderful location. Perfect spot for a get away with your spouse and dog. Hosts were great too.
Walkable to everything and lots of street parking. Dog beach very nearby.
Great outdoor space too.
Only downsides was the bedroom was a little warm one night but we figured out the fan situation. Airplanes are overhead and loud early so don't plan to sleep in.
OB honestly wasn't my vibe but that had zero to do with the property. Reminded me of Venice Beach.
Highly recommend the property.

Great little apartment near the beach, not the best for small children
Overall a nice place, very close to the beach. Parking was a bit tough at times. I would not recommend this property for families with small children, many of the windows on this second story apartment, did not have locks or screens on them and could be easily accessed by children. the master bed is below three windows without locks or screens and are very light weight, a toddler could easily fall out of these. the pullout bed in the front room is also bellow a large window that does not lock, and anyone from outside could open the window, we did not feel comfortable letting or 7 yo sleep on this bed alone and either my wife or I had to sleep on this little pullout bed with our child each night. Also on the deck there is a place on the railing that is open to the roof and a child could just walk right out onto the roof.

Pleasantly Surprised
Thank you Erich & Taylor! This was our first time using VRBO and staying somewhere other than a hotel. We were a little nervous. But, we didn't want to miss our dear friend's 50th birthday celebration. In searching online we found this wonderful property close to where everyone else was staying. When we arrived there was a nice bottle of Rose waiting for us and snacks! The place was just as pictured online. The entire place was stocked with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. My husband and I were happy and said if we were in this area again, we would stay here.
Side note for some future patrons: The airplane noise is definitely present. However, I found it calming as I need some type of noise to sleep. It didn't seem to stop my hubby from catching too many zzz's either :-).

Did a double mom daughter getaway week driving down the coast to beach cities I grew up in. Ended in OB, saw new niece, surf lessons etc! It was exactly as described and a perfect little getaway!

10/10 Will Come Again
First of all, the pictures do not do this property justice. Inviting and open, beautifully decorated and welcoming this place was a dream. We spent our early mornings drinking coffee on the front deck, our afternoons walking a few minutes to the beach where it's always a party, and our evenings taking advantage of all the great restaurants and bars. Ocean Beach is amazing and we wish we extended our stay here.
Second, Erich & Taylor could not have been better hosts. Great communication, an informative binder ready for us on the coffee table when we checked in AND they recommended one of the best Mexican food joints I have ever eaten at. These are the hosts you always hope to have when booking through VRBO.
Bottom Line: Loved the property loved the neighborhood and can't wait to visit again.
Thanks again, Erich & Taylor!

The unit was thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials you would need and the hosts were very welcoming and provided great recommendations. The place was super clean and tidy, appreciated the attention to detail. Walkable to the beach and bars in OB which was convenient cause we didn’t have to deal with parking all weekend. Would definitely stay again!

Good space, great location
A great ocean beach spot to just park your car when you arrive, and not touch it until you leave. Especially good if you have a dog, as the dog beach is just a couple blocks away, and the owners were accommodating even for our large breed.
The busier and louder sections of Ocean Beach are a bit further to the south, but also an easy walk, so we appreciated being in striking distance of that nightlife while also coming home to a quieter neighborhood.
Only two downsides: there is only street parking, and not a dedicated parking space (although the listing put parking as an amenity). This didn't get in our way, but you have to be alert to street sweeping schedules, and in a more competitive time of year I could easily see parking be a struggle. The second downside is that the area is in the flight path for the airport, and so you'll get that noise often during the day. The claim is that flights don't happen after 10:30 at night, and don't start again until 6:30, but we definitely heard a flight at 4 am one morning. The host provides earplugs beside the bed, for what it's worth.
At any rate, still a lovely place, and neither of these concerns were a disruption for us. Just something to be aware of.

Absolutely wonderful place! We had a great stay in this super cool, clean, quiet apartment. Unbeatable location just steps to the beach. Our dog LuLu LOVED running on dog beach everyday. Short walk to everything OB has to offer- shops, restaurants, coffee, etc. We had no problem with parking. Erich was super responsive to our questions, and even left some great snacks and wine! We'd definitely stay here again- loved it.
