Dog friendly beach get away

We brought along our 7 month old boxer for a 3 day beach get away. Apartment is very clean and well furnished. Just a two block walk to the beach and very close and convenient walk to many coffee shops, restaurants, taverns, and convenience stores. The Ocean Beach area is very dog friendly . Erich and Taylor are very quick to respond and are fantastic hosts. The snacks and bottle of wine upon your arrival is a very nice touch!

Cozy stay by the water

We enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect while we explored the area and met up with old friends. There was plenty of great dining options nearby and yet blocks from the beach. We recommend this property to anyone visiting San Diego. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Location!

The property was exactly as described - nice, clean one bedroom beachy condo close to everything. Over the week, it was no more than a 10 minute drive to visit old town San Diego, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, Seaport Village, Boardwalk, and a 20 minute drive to Coronado Island A beautiful beach is just uo the street. Amazing restaurants in walking distance. As mentioned in the listing, it is in a flight path, but that didn’t bother us. We will definitely be back!

Ocean Beach Retreat

Look no further. We were guests for a week. The owners, we bothered a bit too much, were accommodating and always met us with a smile. Having a washer/dryer on site is always a plus! The beach wagon was a huge plus!! Filled it full with provided chairs and boogie boards then walked the city block to the beach!! Coming back!!

Perfect stay

We loved this vacation, it had everything we needed. Our flight was coming in around noon in California and we hadn’t rented a car, but the owners arranged to have the cleaners come earlier so we could at least store our bags there - they were very accommodating and nice. The location and area were perfect - we had a great time!

Fantastic stay in OB

My kids and I just got back from a week in OB and we had a blast! The location of this unit was perfect! You are a just a couple of blocks from the beach and a super short walk to the shopping/eating area. Close enough for short walks but far enough away to not be bothered by the noise of the night life. The hosts have beach accessories you can borrow which made the whole stay so much more enjoyable. Thanks for helping to make such a memorable vacation!

Enjoyed a wonderful 5 night stay very conveniently located near dog beach and city beach. Just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. We also walked to Sunset Cliffs.

Highly recommend!

Everything about this place is fantastic! Close to beach, food, shops, etc. Owners provided beach chairs, toys, towels, boogie boards, wagon-everything needed for a day at the beach. The vibe of the place is great. We especially loved the record player and the records. Erich was great with communicating from beginning to end. I would highly recommend for your next San Diego trip. We’ll definitely be back!

Great base camp for San Diego excursions!

This spot is just a few blocks from the beach, our four and eight year old made it with no complaining. There are also many coffee shops and restaurants within a ten minute walk, target is about a 10 minute walk also. The San Diego Zoo is a 15 min drive and the Safari Park and Legoland were 30-40 min away. This was a great spot on the beach that allowed us to access all of the attractions and return for a great dinner and beach time.

Ocean Beach Bungalow

Quaint upstairs bungalow located near beach and downtown shopping/bar area. We were not up to speed on the Ocean Beach vibe, but if you are looking for an old time, relaxed beach experience, this is for you. Apartment unit was well stocked. Nothing fancy, but its the beach! Parking is limited to street. Not a problem in February, but might be a little challenging during the summer season.
