Great location. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Good bed. Direct TV did not work most of the time which was frustrating, especially on rainy days.
Would recommend it if they fix the TV issue.

Lovely and charming space near the beach! Location is great, easy access to vibrant and fun Ocean Beach business district on foot and San Diego by car. Garage is small, so follow the guidelines if bringing a vehicle. Nothing beyond a mid-sized sedan would be ideal. Weather was a little rough with a surf warning while we were there, but still got some beach time at low tide.

The beach home was perfect for our quick stay. I would definitely recommend to friends.

Can't beat the proximity to the beach and shops/restaurants. The unit is at the back of the property, above a garage, and we heard any rustling just the ocean and sounds of OB. Enjoyed coffee on the porch area each morning.

My friends and I went on a quick beach getaway and the property couldn’t have been more perfect. Just blocks from both the beach and downtown strip; I don’t think we drove a single time the whole weekend.

Sweet cottage, it has everything you need for a fun stay. The location is superb and our dog loved the dog beach. If you go, check out the Wednesday evening Farmer’s Market and all the fun restaurants and shops on Newport St.

My wife, daughter, and I loved our time here. Everything we needed to go to the beach was there, the cottage was perfect for the three of us, and we fit the car in the garage, lol. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area!

The property is nice. However, there is a lot of flight traffic over Ocean Beach for those who don't know. Well you live, and you learn. It is very cute and a short walk to the beach. The furnishings were comfortable enough and we had most of the basics for a great beach vacation. The unit can sell itself. I found the directions to the parking garage confusing. Parking is 2.5 blocks away as was explained prior to arrival. However, the written directions provided lack clarity and the actual garage set up is hokey, secured with a bike like that is tricky. When I was able to get the owner on the phone to clarify the directions, she was extremely rude and impatient. We were not surprised by the tight parking conditions but did not expect a glass tabletop leaning against the wall at the front of the very short garage, making parking even more difficult. Who does that? There were four wash cloths provided for three adults staying for three days, but 15 dishcloths. It is clear that her chores were more important than our comfort. This owner left very detailed instruction for cleaning and chores I usually don't do on vacation. It felt more like I was house sitting for a rude friend. I'm surprised she didn't leave an animal to care for and clean up after. Paying guests are not partners in your hospitality side gig. Some people should not be hosts.

The place is great - so quirky and has a lot of personality! The host leaves NOTHING to be desired — everything you need is provided - It was so clean and sparkly! The neighbors have done a lovely job with succulent landscaping - everything was delightful!

Overall unpleasant experience communicating with the property owner. We didn’t arrive until very late at night. No on street parking. Because it was dark it was difficult to find the gate access. We tried several times to access the off site garage but because of the dark we struggled. I called the property owner to ask for her help. She was rude and angry. She did drive to the property to help us which we appreciated but she was extremely rude!

We enjoyed our stay. Place was clean. Internet was not 100%. Location was walking distance to beach and restaurants.

We had a great long weekend in this property- everything is exactly as represented. The place is warm and welcoming. The bed comfortable. The place is well appointed. A block from the beach- so easy to walk to anything we could need.
Parking on the street is hit or miss but there is a reserved garage. Large vehicles or SUV’s will be challenging to park in it however. Minor issue. We definitely will be staying here again.

From beach stuff to convince of restaurants and downtown excitement. You will enjoy your stay here . Thanks Jeff and John And Adele

Comfy and quirky little spot. Parking was hectic but it’s nice they supply a garage. (Was just to small for our truck.) but we loved the little home and were thankful for the amenities .

My daughter (15) and I wanted a relaxing, low-key weekend out of town with our dogs, and that’s what we got here. It’s in a great location, super close to the dog beach, clean, and quaint. Instructions for *everything* were detailed and super clear, and communication was excellent. Parking on the street is pretty challenging, but a dedicated parking spot is available not too far away. There’s no immediate grassy area for dogs, but a short (~2 minute) walk away is a large grassy area near the beach. Bear in mind that the owner needs to approve dogs prior to booking (I mistakenly booked and sought approval at the same time, but it was easily ironed out). Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

This was a really charming sort of retro looking Beach cottage... Was super clean, bed was comfy, and place was really well stocked with shower toiletries and kitchen supplies and even great beach chairs and cooler! Was within short walking distance to beach, restaurants and coffee shops, and even a Target. Would highly recommend

Exceptional beach house near the ocean
My host thought of everything, it felt like home, was stocked with more than you can think of, just blocks from the beach, quiet neighborhood. I'll definitely be back. One of the best places I've stayed and I've stayed in at least 15 over the years.

Second time staying at this host’s property. A different unit but with same fun decor. Perfect for beach lovers. Shopping, dining, beach are all short walks. Highly recommend!

Very close to Ocean Beach!
The location of this property could not be better for someone looking to just hang out in Ocean Beach for a few days. Everything you would need is within walking distance. And the proximity to the actual beach could not have been more convenient. Very cottagey and quaint.

Only second experience with vrbo and it was somewhat traumatizing. I loved the place and it met every expectation, however my issue was with the host. Not sure if it is because I am younger than most customers but there was a blatant lack of respect from our initial conversation on the phone before I had even checked in. In addition I was charged for having friends stop by (not even come inside and stay overnight) and the host used this to justify keeping the ENTIRE security deposit. Not super familiar with vrbo but I do not think this is something common and/or fair. The host was clearly unhappy but addressed it in a completely unprofessional/crude manner , then proceeded to dodge my calls after placing the extra charge. I just wanted to leave a straight up review to anyone somewhat new to this community like I was.
