The Neighborhood
Ocean Beach is a vibrant seaside neighborhood with restaurants, bars, shops, grocery and convenience stores, and the beach all just steps away. Sunset Cliffs, famous for some of the best sunsets in San Diego, is only a short walk or bike ride from the house.
Ocean Beach borders Point Loma, known as “where California began.” This historic peninsula offers easy access to the Pacific Ocean, Downtown San Diego, and the airport. Nearby attractions include SeaWorld San Diego, Conference Center, Ocean Beach Pier, Gaslamp District, Little Italy, Old Town, and more.
________________________________________
Getting Around
Fantastic location! Walk to downtown Ocean Beach restaurants, bars, and the OB Pier and Beach. Downtown, Little Italy, Old Town, SeaWorld, and Petco Park are all a short drive or an easy Uber/Lyft ride. Highways are easily accessible for trips north to La Jolla, Del Mar, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, LEGOLAND, and the Safari Park.

Other Things to Note
I recently purchased this property and am excited to continue offering its great features to the VRBO community. There are two separate units on the property, and I live upstairs in a studio apartment. I travel frequently, so a professional VRBO manager—who has successfully operated the property long before I bought it —ensures seamless stays for our guests. Ongoing improvements are being made to enhance the guest experience.
The home is equipped with an electronic lock for easy, contactless access.
Please remember that you will be staying in a home, and we kindly ask that you treat the space with the same respect you would your own :)

Fabulous OB Trip

We had such a great time at the house. Beds were comfortable, the house was so comfortable and walking distance to all that OB has to offer. We will be back again for sure. Thanks for letting us share your home.

Walking distance from everything in OB

Kristin's place was perfect for our group of girls! We loved being walking distance from everything we needed to do in OB and having tons of space to spread out. The large back patio was also a great touch! We'd definitely stay again for our next getaway.

Girls Trip

We decided to book this stay for a girls trip! It was so much fun!! The house has a large yard which we didn't get to utilize as much as we would have liked. The host was very responsive. I definitely would book again.

Great Stay!!!!!

This VRBO has everything . . . comfortably slept 7 adults with room for more. Location was close to dining and had views of the ocean from the living room and backyard. Spacious and well equipped with yard games, speaker, fully stocked kitchen utensils and pillows, bedding and blankets. The host was super accommodating with special requests and very responsive to all our questions. We would definitely book here again.

Beautiful home

I visited San Diego with my husband, our teenage son and my mother. This lovely property was more house than we needed, but we wanted three bedrooms. The home is bathed in natural light, with an ocean view from both the living room and the master bedroom (which is more like a suite). The backyard is huge and gorgeous, again with an ocean view and a fragrant orange tree that the owner encouraged us to enjoy. Ocean Beach is an excellent location for a laid back "staycation"--there are many great coffee shops, restaurants and shops (as well as the beach) within a 5 minute walk. If you have a car, it's just a 15 drive to many of the SD sights like Balboa Park, Mission Beach and La Jolla. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again if we return to San Diego!

Ocean Beach Gem

Everything is true to form about the listing. Its a super well maintained property. Great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and liveliness. Its like 3-4 blocks from the entertainment district which is really a perfect distance away. Definitely try the ripe oranges right off the tree in the backyard, deicious. Everything was super smooth and professional about the process. The kitchen is decently furnished and set up nice for dining although if you can be out back thats the best place to hang out. Def keep in mind that the neighbors are pretty close and after 10pm its quiet time. Me and my friends may or may not have lost track of time one evening in that amazing backyard space and needed a gentle reminder it was after 10pm. Time flies when you are having fun...10/10 recommend!

Exceeded all my expectations!

Everything about our stay at Kristen’s Vrbo exceeded my expectations! It was exactly what I was hoping for and more for my boyfriend’s surprise birthday weekend. We had friends coming from out of town so I wanted to find a place that embodied San Diego and all it has to offer. There were beautiful ocean views from the front and back yard, and the house was perfect walking distance to downtown OB. The inside was so clean and spacious, comfortably fitting our group of 10. It was nice how spread out the house was in case some wanted to stay up late and others wanted to go to bed early. Everything was so perfect, but I think the best part of our stay was our communication with Kristen. She was the best host and we were so grateful for all of her help. She was so kind, easy to communicate with, and responded quickly to all of our questions. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thank you for making our weekend stay so special!!

Late life bachelorette weekend

We came to town with a group of 9 late 30s-early 50s ladies to celebrate a bachelorette party. Kristen’s house was exactly as described, with plenty of sleeping for all and more than enough room to lounge around. The house and yard were better than expected and I would 100% recommend this place to other groups! Kristen was a very responsive host and super accommodating for our early morning arrival with no rental car, she let us drop our luggage in the garage while the home was finished being cleaned. Super friendly and wonderful to work with, she even left us a little gift during our stay. The house is very clean and in a great location to walk to the beach, dining and shops. Beware of a rather steep incline at the end on your way back, but nothing healthy individuals can’t do. The only “issue” some may have is that the host lives in a separate home above the rental. This was not an issue for our group, but something to note.

Beautiful home

The place was in a perfect location, with an amazing backyard and beautiful views. We even saw fireworks each night from the table out back. You get your exercise walking up the hill, but it’s just the right amount. I would definitely recommend staying here for a centralized spot in ocean beach.

Great spot

The location and house are amazing for a friend trip to San Diego. It is a short walk to Ocean Beach and a quick trip to Mission Beach and the airport. The backyard and having access to cornhole and bikes was great too. We did a bachelor party and for 9 guys comfortably and tried to mind the noise ordinance as much as we could.

Great Location & Back Yard!

Overall we had a wonderful time at this home, it’s very centrally located in Ocean Beach, easy to walk to everything down on Newport, definitely a steeper road and driveway, but the views from the backyard were amazing & it has a very open living floorplan. The middle bedroom is a bit of a pass-through to get to the back bedroom, so good to know there’s not a ton of privacy in the layout, unless the back bedroom goes outside to get to the kitchen, but overall we had a wonderful time & Kristen was very responsive & helpful!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I'm a newer host for this property, but have the same VRBO co-host and cleaning team so the transition will be seamless from the former owner. I live in San Diego in the upstairs studio of this home as my residence. I travel often for work and play and happy to be able to share this amazing house with others visiting San Diego!

Why they chose this property

Amazing space, backyard(with orange tree), and views! Great location, walking distance to downtown OB and the beach, and a short car app ride to downtown, Little Italy, Petco Park, Old town. You are able to see the Sea World fireworks from here as well!

What makes this property unique

The backyard is great for group gatherings! Ocean Views from the living room and backyard. Large patio with a grill and plenty of outside seating as well!
