We had the most delightful stay at Pippi’s Place! It is in the perfect walkable location in Ocean Beach, decorated so beautifully, and really everything you need is provided for a wonderful beach adventure.Katrina is an excellent host who goes above and beyond for her guests. We are so lucky to have had this time at her retreat! We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cute, modern, walking distance to the beach and all the best places in OB. And incredibly clean!! Although I’m a dog person, I’m pretty picky about rentals that allow pets. My experience is they normal aren’t as clean and/or smell. Not at all the case here! If it weren’t for the adorable pups in the neighboring rentals, you would never know this rental occasionally (probably regularly) has canine guests. Looking forward to an opportunity to return with my own pup!
