About this property
Cottage is Literally ON the Beach! Private Garage Parking & Private Side Yard
Quaint cottage, literally ON the beach. Open the front door and step into the sand of Ocean Beach. The beach is HUGE and open in front of you.
The cottage has been freshly painted and decorated. It's the perfect place for a great time away. A QUEEN size bed in the bedroom and a TWO fold down FULL size sofa beds in the living room provide sleeping for 4 adults comfortably if there is one adult per sofa bed. You might be able to sleep a couple kids on each sofa bed, increasing the capacity to 6 in theory. There is also a twin size air bed in the closet for your use.
There is a window mounted air conditioning unit in the bedroom and a portable space heater just in case our (rare) 50 degree nights are too chilly for you.
A full size fridge and gas range will come in handy for any cooking or cooling you want to do. The kitchen has a microwave & a coffee maker as well. Outside the kitchen door is a nice size side yard accessible only to your unit in which you can BBQ or just relax without being in the public mix out on the sand.
The private garage is for your use alone and is the primary entrance to the property. There is a key code on the door and simply walk through the garage and through the side yard to enter through the side kitchen door OR you can go through the sand along the front of the cottage to enter through the front door.
There is a washer & dryer in the garage for your use. In the garage you will also find beach chairs, a small cooler & a beach umbrella which you can use during your stay.
In addition to the full sized shower in the bathroom, there is an outdoor shower in the side yard in case you want to take a quick rinse off before you head back inside.

Beautiful beach cottage. My family and I loved staying here. Was beautiful watching sunsets from the beach right outside the cottage. Look forward to staying here again!!
We loved staying here! Perfect little beach bungalow, literally right in the sand, so peaceful, ideal spot to catch the sunset every night, and walkable to all the Ocean Beach things. Will definitely book again!
Great communication from the host, knew exactly what to expect, and cottage was as described. Perfect location, right on the sand, close to restaurants and shops with everything being walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!!
Quaint cottage in a perfect location! The side yard was a nice bonus, and the beach was a step away. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-in process was easy and seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This was a new place for us, and to be honest we were a little nervous. However, the host is quite kind and generous and cares about his guests, the place looks just as it’s portrayed in the pictures, and never have I ever stayed where I can step into the beach sand from the front door. If you’re unsure if this spot is worth it just book it you won’t be disappointed.
Abe was extremely communicative and provided detailed valuable information about the property to make it a seamless process throughout my stay.Place was absolutely perfect right on the beach. It’s as close to heaven as you’re gonna get.
All around unbelievable please to stay. Not enough space to wrote all the amazing amenities but ill highlight the best ones. Literally on the beach. Store seconds away. Laundry and supplies on site. Garage to park in. Air conditioning. You can literally sit in the living room and watch several volleyball tournaments thru out the day. The hosts are incredibly accommodating friendly and always available. Very friendly and feels like home evem if we are all the way across country. Can't thankyou enough for sharing this little piece of heaven with our family!
The property was clean, tidy & private, even though it's literally on the beach. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive. The cottage had everything we were looking for during our short stay and the location was amazing. We are looking forward to our next stay here.
We had the best time as a family of four! We loved being able to step right out on the beach and loved having a little back yard for the kids to play. The house had everything we needed. We will be back!
Loved this house on the beach! A short walk to great bars and restaurants. The heaters were perfect for cold nights and there were tons of blankets in the closets. We had one issue and someone came to help us within 15 minutes! So kind!
Everything about this cozy unit was right on point! It’s a cozy, charming little cottage, right on the sand. It’s not “fancy” but that’s also part of its unique and special charm! Everything from bedding to towels to kitchen supplies to parking to your comfort on the patio/in the yard area are obviously considered - you are well taken care of and details are not skimped on. Outside/nearby the unit there are plenty of grassy areas with picnic tables close by (if you don’t like to lay out in the sand). Also, plenty of shops and restaurants that are active both day and night (if you want nightlife). Tide pools nearby, nice walks around the neighborhood and lifeguards for safety on the beach. Communication with the host is an absolute pleasure. So kind and thoughtful. Host (Abe) 100% considers your enjoyment/relaxation/comfort at the forefront of your stay. All the little details included in the unit are so considerate. Host(s) put a lot of thought into the comfort of your stay! Highly recommend! I would 100% return to this location.
Everything was good except the bed was way too hard for a couple of 70 year olds. A two inch topper would have been helpful. We enjoyed the volleyball people. Place was very clean.
Location location location!!!Perfect little spot with everything you need to relax and enjoy yourself on the beach!!Perfect for a small family or couple!
Favorite place to stay when visiting San Diego. Cute cottage right on the beach that’s perfect for a couple, and walking distance to restaurants and shops.
