About this property

San Diego Surf Camp #6 - 1/2 block to the Pacific!

San Diego Surf Camp #6 is a great 1 bedroom just 100 ft from the Pacific and a 5 minute walk to the sand! It features 1 luxurious queen bed, a deluxe air mattress, a comfortable couch, a cozy kitchen, a full bath, 1 off-street parking space, HD TV in every room, blazing fast WIFI, and access to our shared large courtyard with BBQ. This is the ideal property to come and enjoy the beach. We are not a party house. That's not our vibe. Come and Enjoy a mellow and wonderful time!

It's cute. It's quirky. It feels like a camp, but it's 100ft to the beach and in the middle of everything Ocean Beach and San Diego have to offer. Within 2 blocks of restaurants, bars, shops, yoga studios, fishing, and surfing. Take advantage of our kitchen for meals, or venture out and sample some awesome San Diego restaurants during your stay here! Start the morning off right with some coffee in the kitchen, or pick up coffee at one of the numerous neighborhood coffee stands and walk two blocks to the beach for a stroll as you watch the surf. We are blocks from some of San Diego's most iconic beach spots. Have a hamburger at Hodad's or get a scoop of ice cream between two flavored freshly made mini-waffles at Lighthouse. Also, eating at the quirky restaurant way out at the end of the Ocean Beach Pier is something that shouldn't be missed. Of course, there is a BBQ grill, and it's always a good time to cook out. After lunch, head back home and take a nap or relax on the deck. If you like shopping, you are virtually 10-20 minutes from any destination in the greater San Diego Metro area. I would suggest starting with the cool little shops a couple blocks away on Newport Ave for the original artwork. At night, you have a number of really incredible options. On one of the nights of your stay, you have to walk down the beach and have a bonfire in one of the beach fire pits. It's an absolute imperative... a must do beach experience. The smell and sound of the ocean, the feel of the sand, the smell of the fire, the taste of the s'mores...... We also have the restaurant Bo Beaujust a couple blocks away for a romantic dinner. Try the lobster risotto. ...and there are so many other great restaurants within walking distance: Kaiserhoff, OB Noodle House, etc For Touristy stuff... well, the beach is two blocks away. Step out on the sidewalk and look to your left. It's that blue thing where the land ends. SeaWorld is a five minute drive. The World Famous San Diego Zoo is a ten minute drive away. Disneyland is a ninety minute drive.

We only rent entire apartments. The apartment is all yours.

Please remember that you will be staying in a home, not a hotel. Therefore, we ask that you treat our space with the same respect you would show your own. If you need anything before, after or during your stay, we are just a text, call or email away. Our home has an electronic lock on the door. The codes needed to enter the property are available 1 hour prior to check-in.

Ocean Beach is San Diego's most authentic beach community. We are probably best described as bohemian. Everyone is welcome. It's very free-spirited with just a touch of quirky. Think surfers, coffee shops, yoga studios and the place where the locals go.

Great location if you want to be right in the middle of everything in Beach Haven. It is a very small place with a tiny bathroom. Full bed not very comfortable at all but everyone has their own preferences. Overall in fine condition. Bathroom could use some attention to detail fixing brackets and such.

The unit was decent and clean, in an older building. I was unaware from looking at the photos it is a second story unit. I had an elderly person with me, so that was a trial. But for the rest of us it was ok. There is no tub it is a very small shower. We stayed in the off season and there were no bikes in the yard. The location is absolutely perfect. Everything was clean and communication with the owner was really easy! He responded quickly and answered my call when I had a question. It’s a nice place to stay for a group of 4.

Disappointed and disgusting property

I left my car double parked with hazards on because parking is a block away, and navigated up the rickety stairs with bags in hand. When I finally got inside, I walked around and never went inside again . Disgusting. And not to mention the sheriff’s department left a card in one of the doors. Was it a rooming house? Communicating with the owner of the property was poor. Told us linens were provided then advised us that they weren’t, while I was en route ( 2 hours into my ride). Said there was parking, there isn’t , trust me !!! Big problem. Rickety stairs , as well as blatant trip hazard half way up ( or down ). Encrusted dirt all over everything leading up to “room”. Filthy, disgusting dirt in hallway which is shared with 3 other “rooms”. Overwhelming smell throughout, Rooms are half the size of what is pictured. Shower is tiny and moldy as another reviewer wrote. STAY AWAY from this place. See attached pictures My first bad review ever. Nothing is ever perfect but this place was horrific. It definitely doesn’t belong on the beautiful island of LBI.

Our stay at Christopher's property was perfect. The condo is very clean, and well appointed. It truly has everything you need. The location was absolutely fabulous and in the middle of everything Beach Haven has to offer. After checking in, we parked our car and did not use it for the remainder of our stay. We were able to walk to the beach, dinner, and all of the nightlife attractions. The backyard space was also very comfortable to hang out in during the evenings. There is a closet inside the condo with beach chairs and other beach items which was so convenient. We loved staying at Christopher's condo, and will definitely look to rebook when we return to Beach Haven. Highly recommended.

Perfect spot in LBI!!

We stayed there for a few days with my boys (10 and 11). It was the perfect location. Walking distance to beach, best restaurants, shopping etc. -- right in the heart of Beach Haven. But not noisy at all. Perfect for 4-5 people. And can't say enough how great the host Christopher was!! Very accommodating to us - we were able to get in early and he was super responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely stay there again. Highy recommend.

Needs updating and cleaning

The property was not clean and very run down. The floors were sandy and dirty, it looked like the place hadn't been mopped in months. The carpets in the bedrooms were sandy and full of stains. The carpets need to get changed. The blankets and pillows that were available to use had huge yellow stains on them. I don't think these have been washed since the day they were bought. If you are going to stay here, bring your own blankets and pillows. The shower is so small, it is literally impossible to wash the sand off your body after spending a day at the beach. The fact that the water pressure is so low doesn't help either! There is a bath mat in the bathroom that looks like bacteria is growing on it. There are AC window units. We checked the filter on one of the AC units and it looked like it had never been cleaned. So basically filthy air is circulating. The owner of the property expects you to vacuum all the sand before leaving, but the vacuum at the apartment is so old probably from the 70's.... I will never stay at this property again. The location is near the beach however it is right on the main road so it gets very loud at night.

Adorable Beach Cottage

The moment we walked into this apartment we knew we were going to enjoy it. The decor and furniture gave us a beachy vibe. I loved all the wall hangings and the wicker shades. The apartment was on the main street but it was quiet and comfortable. The bedrooms were tiny but just right for a beach bungalow. And we all slept soundly. The location was perfect. We walked to restaurants every night. The beach is in walking distance and there were all types of shops nearby. And Christopher was very helpful and great at communicating with us. He gave us a bunch of suggestions for restaurants and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location and Cozy

We loved the location! It was right in the middle of Beach Haven and walking distance to many local restaurants and attractions. Just a 5 minute walk to Fantasy Island. We could even watch the Labor Day fireworks from the 2nd floor deck! It is walking distance to mini golf and ice cream shops as well. It is just 3 blocks from the beach. We drove and parked near one of the beach parking areas, but we had younger kids with us and didn't want to walk with them quite that far. It had lots of windows and got plenty of light during the day. It was also decorated nicely. We were able to find street parking fairly close by most of the time as there is not a designated parking area for this place. There were multiple condos and a store on the first floor, but we didn't hear any noise from any of them. We did sometimes hear noise from the main street and people outside late at night. Our two young boys LOVED the bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom and having a TV in their room.

Host profile image
I have spent 20 years creating and managing great luxury apartment spaces in San Diego for work. When playing, I love to travel. I have have had so many great experiences in vacation rentals, like my favorite place in Maui, that it just seemed natural to create some awesome vacation rental spaces at the beach to give everyone else the opportunity to experience San Diego. Come and live like a local!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Beach is San Diego's most authentic beach community. We are probably best described as bohemian. Everyone is welcome. It's very free-spirited with just a touch of quirky. Think surfers, coffee shops, yoga studios and the place where the locals go.

What makes this property unique

We took a small apartment building just half a block from the oceanside cliffs and two blocks from the sand and landscaped it to have the look and feel of a beachside camp. Inside the fences, you see walls of star jasmine and blue sky and palm trees. Then, a step outside the gate, and you are two blocks from the center of a vibrant beachside neighborhood.
