About this condo rental

Nestled in Ocean Beach, this charming condo for $159 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Our cozy apartment is one and a half blocks from the beach. There is a small front yard, a completely furnished deck with a barbecue grill, patio table, chairs and umbrella. Inside is tile and hardwood flooring. We also have board games and beach toys for the kids Before we start telling you about about how great our property is, we want you to know about two negative things right up front so you won't waste your time if they are deal-killers for you. The first being, that we are near the airport flight path and there will be considerable plane noise throughout the day. By law, the planes must stop running after 10pm, but there have been rare occasions that a plane will fly over anyway and pay the fine. Most people who stay here say they get used to it fairly quickly but if you are sensitive to noise or just looking for a quiet space, alas, this is not for you. Secondly, we do not have off-street parking available. There is free street parking but understand that being a block from the beach can sometimes make it difficult. In the daytime, it's usually easy to find parking right out front, but as it gets later toward the evening, when people start coming home from work, it becomes more difficult. You'll always find a space, but you might need to widen your search perimeter. The good news is that there is soooo much in walking distance (restaurants, bars, dog beach, ocean beach, markets, shops, The Farmer's Market etc.) and a ton of attractions that are a cheap Uber ride away (Sea World, SD Zoo, Gaslamp, Belmont Park, Mission Beach and other beaches to name a few.) NOTE: Only one pet per rental please. Other than that, we are a: Pet / Dog Friendly Neighborhood Pet / Dog Friendly Yard Pet / Dog Friendly Owner Pet / Dog Friendly beach nearby No pet charges or pet fees Free Pet vacation rental And now the good stuff . . . Ocean beach is an authentic, ocean-front community with an eclectic, intimate character that is revered by travelers from around the world. It is a perfect destination for families, couples, singles, surfers, boaters, explorers - people with active lifestyles or people who just want to relax on the beach. Everything San Diego has to offer is virtually at your doorstep. OR, spend the day at home. Read the morning paper on the deck with a cup of coffee, barbecue steaks at dinner time on the patio, or just lounge with a cold beer by the firepit after an invigorating day at the beach. Amenities include indoor and outdoor furniture, fully-equipped kitchen, tv/dvd, stereo, wifi internet, bath towels, beach towels, hair dryer, linens, pillows, blankets - all the comforts of home. We are a small, family-owned operation. Like you, we love to travel and we know what it means to provide quality customer service. For the duration of your stay, we will be available all hours for all your needs. Just check the reviews and you won't find a single bad one. Attractions within walking distance 1) Pacific Ocean – forget the car! Just walk to the beach in 5 minutes. 2) SAN DIEGO RIVER TRAIL - Beginning at the Ocean, and only a block or so from the bungalow, The San Diego River trail is excellent for wildlife viewing; bird watchers from all over the county come to snap pictures, and get good sightings and light for an array of wildlife. Fish are always jumping, eagles and hawks are often flying with live catches in their talons or beaks, and the tides make sure the visit is never the same twice. 3) Robb Field – is a huge park and recreation complex with multiple tennis, basketball and handball court. It also has a fitness gym, lighted softball and multi-purpose fields, playground area for kids, and acres of wide open grass with picnic tables and shade trees. 5) Robb Skateboard Park – is a recently-built, 40 thousand square foot, state-of-the-art skate park. 6) Main Street Ocean Beach (Newport Avenue) – stroll along antique row or shop in any of the dozens of mom-n-pop retail stores. Roam the farmers market and street fair every Wednesday afternoon. Afterward have lunch, or an adult beverage, at one of the many restaurants, nightclubs and neighborhood bars. 7) Ocean Beach Pier – is the second longest pier in California. It’s an amazing, panoramic location from which to drop a fishing line (no license needed), take a romantic stroll, or grab a burger and a beer at the OB Pier Café. 8) The Tide Pools of Sunset Cliffs – stroll along the stunning, striated sunset cliffs of the pacific ocean. This is one of the most beautiful locations in the world, named after its amazing sunsets. Take a leisurely stroll down to sea level and explore the magic and the mystery of the tide pools at low tide. 9) Bird Watching at the Famosa Slough – birdwatchers come from around the world to see the many different, exotic birds that inhabit this 37-acre wetland, including, osprey, snowy egrets, pelicans, ducks, sandpipers in the estuary black-necked stilts, avocets, kingfisher, forster's tern, and great egret. Walk or bike on the path that circumnavigates the slough. Attractions within driving distance 10 minutes – is all the driving time you need to visit Sea World, Seaport Village, historic Old Town, downtown San Diego and the historic Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego Convention Center, Little Italy, maritime museums, Petco Park (SD Padres stadium), and San Diego’s main airport, Lindbergh field. 20 minutes – to San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and museums, Torrey Pines golf course, five outdoor shopping malls, Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego Chargers), Coronado Island and the Historic Hotel Del Coronado, Cabrillo National monument and lighthouse. 30 minutes - to Tijuana and the Mexico border, Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds, several gaming casinos, Legoland, etc. As you can see, there is so much to see and do within a close distance of our vacation units you probably won't be able to do it all in once visit. Which is why we want you to come back. Best! Ed Decker Ocean Beach Getaways

owner responded quickly to my emails. He was nice to deal with. had a washer dryer available right next door as part of the units. parking was a little tough on some days but we were always able to find a place. it was a nice little house. only one problem, the airplanes fly over the house.from 11 pm to 6;30 the planes stop but the noise wasn't too bad, could be tolerated unless you are a bad sleeper. no AC It's an older place but if I were to visit SD, I might return.

It was a very nice place to stay, to enjoy California and being so close to Ocean Beach. We walked down town to shop and eat. The beach was so much fun to walk and explore and the sunsets where wonderful. And at the places we went to visit doing the week, where just a few minutes away, so we did not have to go very far to explore San Diego. We all enjoyed our stay and I Loved the private outdoor sitting area, a great place to enjoy the morning coffee and the evenings with the family. Just know the parking can be a challenge in San Diego, so allow extra time when you are going to the places around San Diego on your visit.

Ed's place was well equipped and was a great place for us to use to explore Ocean Beach and San Diego. It was a quick walk to the beach and restaurant options and a short drive to downtown. Well equipped and comfortable, and the included laundry facilities were a big plus for us on a longer stay. Ed provided some great tips about the area, activities, and restaurant options. We'd love to come back again!

Great little cottage in Ocean Beach, close to everything - seriously, it became the running joke for our family that everything was 12 minutes away from the house! The cottage was well-appointed, with all the beach and house necessities you'd want, and the place was clean and Ed was easy to work with. A few things to be aware of: San Diego airport is only about a 10 minute drive from the house, and the path of the jets as they take off takes them right over the house. While my family sleeps pretty heavily, we were all woken up the first morning and noticed it every day after that. If you're a light sleeper, definitely bring ear plugs. The other issue we had was parking - if you are not able to reserve one of the parking spots for the unit, be aware that street parking is really challenging on weekends and evenings, and that the signs marking street sweeping and no parking are not easy to see. As long as you're good with these small things, you'll have a great trip to SD in this house!

We could not have been more pleased with this VRBO. It was exactly as described. Great location. Comfortable bed. We cooked a lot of our meals and we had everything we needed to do so (pots, pans, dishes, etc.) Ed responds immediately to texts (although we didn’t text much - as we didn’t need anything…) We would definitely stay here again!

This property was perfect for a vacation with my son and his family. It was very clean, comfortable, kid friendly, and in a great location in a safe neighborhood. The beach is a 5 minute walk away, with many shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The outside yard and BBQ area was great for relaxing after a day at the beach. Ed was super nice and quickly responded to any questions I had. I look forward to staying here again for my next trip to San Diego!
