What a perfect place to stay in Ocean Beach! Steps from the beach, an easy walk into the heart of Ocean Beach as well. The unit is pristine clean, loaded with amenities for the beach, family games, and the kitchen is fully equipped if you want to stay in and cook. Beautiful patio area to hang out in! The host is warm and gracious, super responsive and checked in on us to ensure our comfort. Will always stay here when visiting Ocean Beach! !

Super clean! Great location in Ocean Beach. Very short walk to beach, 10 minute stroll to lots of good restaurants. Owner communicates quickly and has the property stocked with *everything* you need to enjoy a beach vacation. The only downside (and I blame VRBO, not the owner): I searched VRBO for listings with parking and laundry, and this property was in the results. The only parking is street parking, which is a big challenge in Ocean Beach. (There is a little no parking zone in front of the apartment so at least you can easily pull over to load/unload your luggage and anyone who is tired of walking.) The only laundry is a laundromat a block away. If you are ok with that, you will absolutely love this property!

Awesome Newly Updated Property

The place was clean and beautiful with fun and thoughtful decorations. The recent remodel is beautiful. It felt super comfortable and homey therePlus, just a few minutes walk to the beach, dog beach and tons of cool restaurants and shops. The property owner is wonderful and even provides a cute outdoor space with BBQ and there are also beach chairs in a cart you can take to the beach!It was a wonderful and relaxing time there!

We're retired and looking for a place near Dog Beach to stay with our fur babies. Also wanted to be able to park the car and walk everywhere we wanted to go. The owner was very thorough in communicating with us, giving us tips on our trip and making sure we were satisfied and had our needs met. Really appreciated her attention to details and questions we had. This apartment was perfect for our needs, had all the amenities plus extra. Very clean, updated and comfortable to stay in .The owner had everything you need to have an "at home" experience without having to pack half your car with daily necessities such as dishes, kitchen items, towels,etc. Bed was very comfortable, AC available if needed. Apartments were well insulated ie you don't hear a lot of noise from other tenents. Our favorite part was location- out the front door and about 2 blocks to the beach, in fact you could actually see the ocean at the end of the block. Added bonus: this place has all the beach items you need- beach chairs, mat, wagon, and umbrella! Saved us from having to haul the same items or rent. We can't wait to come back to this beautiful property again and again.

Amazing location and perfect amenities!

This place exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect to access the beach, shops and restaurants. The condo was equipped with beach towels, chairs, body boards, dog toys and sand toys. We enjoyed reading our books on the back patio with a cup of coffee and the local nightlife. If we go to Ocean Beach again, we would love to stay here!

Location is amazing. A block away from the beach so kids click traverse back and forth without worry. Had all the amenities like gas stove outdoor space and towels and chairs for the beach. Downtown ocean beach wasn’t our style but if you turned right out of the unit a smaller little down town area with two great coffee shops (coffee cycles was our fave) and a good sandwich shoe, tacos, a brew house and pizza, close to freeway to go to Padres or anything else downtown. We brought Enough clothes so I didn’t have to do laundry as the unit doesn’t have a machine. Only downside was there is no parking attached to this unit and we have a large car so finding parking was a bit difficult at times. To unload and load we just had blinkers on while putting stuff in while parked in front of the unit. Overall it was great, couldn’t beat the location!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Wish we could've lowered the ac below 72° though, as I am an extra hot person. Every time we'd come back the temp would be raised to 74-76°. Other than that, the stay was perfect.

Exceeded our expectations

I spent spring break with my family and we absolutely loved the property in Ocean Beach. It is only 1 block away from the ocean and a short walk to the great restaurants and bars of OB. The place had plenty of room for a family of 4 with updated flooring, furniture, appliances, and decor. It was very clean relaxing.

Very nice but noisy.

This place is very nice, comfortable and clean. Owner is responsive. My only negative about the place is the noise from airplanes flying overhead particularly in the morning. Starting at 6AM planes continually fly overhead every minute for several hours and they are quite noisy. If you are a heavy sleeper, this place is perfect, but I found it impossible to sleep after 6AM. 4 stars for the noise, otherwise 5 stars.

Not Quite

Parking in the area is a nightmare! The apartment (not bungalow per se) was small but nice. Lacked outlets throughout the home - likely due to age, but otherwise functional. Best part of the rental was the owner - very communicative before, during and after the stay - couldn’t have asked for better!

1st Timers to Ocean Beach

We make an annual trip to SoCal and try out all locations from Newport Beach and down the coast. This was our first time in Ocean Beach. The proximity to the beach, food, conscience store and shopping was perfect. No longer than a 7 min walk to anything. The residence was just as it was pictured. I like that it had beach chairs, boogie boards, an umbrella and beach toys. The manger was very accessible and helpful. The space was clean. The outdoor space was a good size and obscured from the street view for privacy. The only thing that was a bit of a challenge, and I was warned not only by other posts and the manager, was parking. Not terrible as everything is walkable so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Thank you Meiluen for your quick responses even though you were in Korea at the time of our trip! Would love to stay here again.

Check in was super simple. Apartment was clean, and user friendly. We had everything we needed. Target was super close & a one stop shop for food/drinks. Literally steps to the beach, restaurants, shopping etc. Easy to Uber downtown as we preferred not to drive. Took in a couple baseballs games, toured the USS Midway, and explored Gaslamp Quarter. We enjoyed having coffee on back patio which was a surprisingly quiet & private area! Bed was comfortable, and there was more than one roll of toilet paper :)
