About this property
The Sweet Escape for 2
Escape to our charming 1-bedroom cottage, a cozy retreat just steps from Ocean Beach, San Diego. Experience farmhouse elegance with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable living space, and a plush bed for the best sleep. Relax on your private patio, surrounded by coastal vibes. Walk to the beach and explore nearby eateries and entertainment. Your perfect getaway awaits in this coastal haven.
This 2-on-1 property features a wonderful 1BR guesthouse with a full kitchen, full bath and private outdoor space. You can grill outside or cook inside with this fully-appointed property, all while immersing yourself in its `coastal farmhouse` vibe. The adjoining tandem parking space is large enough to handle a large SUV. The bedroom boosts a queen size bed. Living room and bedroom provides a roku tv perfect for app base streaming services. Beach equipment provided
You have the complete house to yourselves, including courtside patio (note, however, there is a separate main house with its own adjoining patio), The assigned parking space is very oversized and could accommodate 2 smaller cars, if necessary. We also provide boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys and beach towels for your use when visiting. Laundry available onsite (and shared with any guests in the front house)!
Check-in is virtual, as you`ll be provided with a digital Guest Portal and a personalized door code. Vacation Rentals by Aaron is a full-service property management company, and will be available 24-7 in case you need anything during your stay
OB is the hippest and most `neighborly` of San Diego`s beach communities. There is nothing quite like the non-corporate lifestyle of Ocean Beach. The locals here love OB for its eclectic community that supports a range of wonderful small shops, restaurants, bars and coffee houses. You will find some of the best food, drink and shopping in the local area. All of OB is accessible on foot from this location. So enjoy and take it all in!
Rental bikes and scooters are plentiful for rent by the hour/day/week. Uber/Lyft are very active in San Diego and the assigned parking guarantees that you will always have parking should you venture out into greater San Diego.
The cottage is located behind the main house. Access is from the alley and features 2 parking spots. For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month`s rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.
Pets are welcome but we don`t allow cats in this property. Our standard pet fee is $150 (this may vary dependent on length of stay & type of pet). Please let us know if you will be bringing along your furry friend! - We are in a beach neighborhood with long term residents so we request that you respect quiet time between 10pm and 8am

This is a cute beach bungalow guest house, behind the main home. It was extremely well appointed with everything we needed for a weekend stay. We appreciated the fenced in space and relative privacy, though there is some visibility into the yard of the main home. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Check in was soooo easy! We chose this place for a vacation with our dogs(kids). Everything was for them and this place was great. Location was perfect. Few blocks from Dog Beach! Friendly area within walking distance to everything. Bed was comfy for all of us lol. This was a vacation for the books! Love our Doodles kids!

Hi Ricardo. Thank you for the 5-star review! We are glad you loved our place and location. We can't wait to have you back soon! -Vacation Rentals By Aaron
Beautiful neighbourhood, proximity to beach, lovely house, great communication with host, well-equipped kitchen, great facilities. Two minor things: there was quite a bit of dog hair in the apartment and the airplanes flying over the apartment were rather loud in the early mornings (starting 6am). Nevertheless, many thanks go out again to Aaron the host for everything!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the beautiful neighborhood, proximity to the beach, and found the house lovely with a well-equipped kitchen and great facilities. It means a lot to us that our communication met your expectations throughout your stay.
We sincerely apologize about the dog hair in the apartment - that should not have been there and we'll address this immediately with our cleaning team to ensure more thorough cleaning between guests.
We also appreciate you mentioning the early morning airplane noise starting around 6am. That's really helpful information for future guests to be aware of when considering the location, as unfortunately flight paths are beyond our control.
Thank you for being understanding about these issues and for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay overall!
Fantastic location, easy checkin and checkout, very responsive hosts, clean and had all the extras to make your stay pleasant (coffee maker, fluffy towels, beach chairs, etc). Highly recommend!

Great communication, friendly, helpful host! Just a few minute walk to the beach and local dog park. Very beachy, very relaxing, we really enjoyed our stay!
Perfect weekend getaway stay in a perfect location in ocean beach steps away from the beach. Communication with host was easy and property instructions were seamless. Loved the space and will definitely be booking again.

Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the location. We hope to have the opportunity of hosting you again in the future. -Vacation Rentals By Aaron
We picked it for the location. Very close to the dog beach, park and short walk to the restaurants and shops. We didn’t want to have to drive to things and the spot was perfect. Off street parking was huge bonus and we enjoyed the market around the corner for beverages.

Nice little place super close to the beach. It was nice to be able to walk to the farmers market on Wednesday. Didn’t need the car while in OB. Would definitely stay here again. The beach chairs & umbrella was nice to have too.

My wife and I stayed there with our dog. The location is great. Just a block from dog beach. The cottage is small, but has ever we needed and the yard was perfect for us and our four-legged friend.
