Amazing Location, Nicely remodeled

This place was amazing for two couples. We were steps from the beach and all the action in Ocean Beach. We had a really great weekend, enjoyed some wine and sun on the front patio, and walked everywhere in the neighborhood. We were also in a good location to take a ride share services to other areas in San Diego. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Great location and cute house

For the most part, we really enjoyed our stay. The house is great for a family or group of friends. The location was central to everything we wanted to do, we were within walking distance of the beach, and the yard on the downstairs units was great for hanging out. The unit also came with beach toys for our use. The biggest drawback was that we could not get ahold of the property manager. She sent me messages about the check in process but when I reached back out with question about check in and parking, we never heard back from her. The handle in the master bath was also broken but I wasn’t able to report it to her since she didn’t respond to any of my other messages. Still overall mostly pleasant experience though.

Great location - a few challenges

Making & confirming reservation very easy. Very clean - nicely equipped kitchen with little bits of supplies of those things you don't want to have to buy. Walk to beach and downtown Ocean Beach easily. Great beds - attentive manager easily accessible. Bathrooms & towels & extras available for beach wonderful. Stayed in unit #4 - downstairs towards beach - patio & yard very inviting with chairs/table/grill and great views. Makes you feel like you are right in the heart of everything in OB. Groceries within walking distance. Must know you will have airplane noise during daytime and evening - true anywhere in OB. Assigned parking off street small but adequate. Neighbor towards beach practiced with his band sometimes late and noise reverberated through this particular unit loudly. Second bedroom window is next to parking and lights stay on all night and room stayed pretty bright. Overall we would come here again but might request unit on street side or upstairs, although this unit had the nicest yard space.

Great OB Vacation

The place was very clean, plenty of beach towels and good beds. Our son and his friend loved the proximity to the beach and we appreciated the nearby stores, bars and restaurants with ocean views. The backyard was great for BBQing and watching the surf. The dog beach was very fun to watch and close by. We will recommend this place to others.

great location but alittle disappointing

Location is awesome,,steps away from the beach. Cute inside and newly remodeled. However when we arrived and the house was completely covered in plastic as it was being painted. Windows were covered with plastic the entire time we were there as were the painters..Management responded when we reached out and we were given a substantial discount. Its a cute property and after all the updating is complete will be totally awesome

Love the beach proximity

We had a great stay, house was clean and fully stocked. It was great to walk to the beach every day and it was very centrally located to everything. Only issue to call out was the airport noise. It was much louder than expected, maybe bc it was a holiday weekend or maybe bc it was foggy mornings and evenings but it was loud on Sunday and Monday, Tues was much quieter. Parking was fine to share a spot except the last night, Tues. The other car had to get out early for the airport so I couldn’t park there and it was street cleaning day Wed morning so we struggled for a spot
