About this property

The Big Kahuna

WOW! You won`t believe the thought & detail that went into designing this stunning 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. We promise you will want for nothing during your San Diego vacation! The home is located in a quiet, Ocean Beach residential neighborhood, just 5 blocks from the beautiful Pacific Ocean. So get the group text going now -- we are ready to host you, your family, and friends!

The home is completely private and located in a peaceful residential neighborhood. There`s room for 3 cars (or two larger SUVs) in the driveway, and street parking is free, unregulated, and readily available. Walk up the steps to the first outdoor patio which has a lounge area and picnic table with umbrella, surrounded by the lush front yard landscaping. When you enter the home, you`ll be greeted by a stunning dining area, complete with large SmartTV, fully-stocked kitchen, and wall `fireplace` (provides real heat!). On the ground floor are 3 spacious bedrooms: 2 with queen-sized beds and one with bunks. There is a full bathroom with shower-tub combo and laundry facilities downstairs as well. Travel up to the second floor to discover your main living area with workspace, wetbar, TV, and table with a chess set! The master bedroom is right off the living space and has a walk-in closet, balcony, and en-suite bathroom with a larger shower-tub combo. Now comes the best part! Head out the sliding glass doors and relax on the wonderful outdoor furinture set -- you`ll be able to catch that signature Southern California beach breeze. What could be better? Oh, a STUNNING ROOFTOP DECK maybe?! Climb up the final flight of stairs for incredible ocean views from our massive rooftop deck. You can dine, drink, relax and barbecue with our top-notch gas grill, all while watching a breathtaking cotton-candy sunset. Don`t miss out on making this truly magical space yours!

Guest access is completely contactless. You will be given a door code 2 days prior to check-in, and if you need anything, Vacation Rentals By Aaron is available 24/7!

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. You are still removed enough to enjoy a more quiet, neighborhood experience, while still being close enough to enjoy the night life of OB. All of OB is accessible on foot from this location. So enjoy and take it all in!

There are 3 parking spots (2 SUVs) in the driveway. Street parking is also free and unregulated in the neighborhood.

Pets welcome! There is a $150 pet fee. We don`t allow cats in this property.

Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals

We’ve partnered with a local private chef, Plates By Payne, who will provide an unforgettable culinary experience to you at a discount from the comfort of our rental! Ask us about this service after booking.

San Diego Beauty

A great place to stay in San Diego. The views from the 2nd floor and roof deck were simply outstanding. A couple of sets of stairs, but well worth the climb. The location was terrific; a nice residential neighborhood with quick and easy access to Ocean Beach, Point Loma, Sea World and downtown San Diego. The house has plenty of space, is well appointed and is very clean. The description in the VRBO listing is quite accurate. Highly recommend this home for a stay in San Diego.

Great place for family vacation!

Property was great for our group of 6 plus a baby. Listing said highchair, but we didn't find one on the property. We were given information on how we could rent one for our stay by the owner, so that was helpful. There are a lot of stairs which was okay for us but wouldn't be great for some people. We loved the upstairs patio and upstairs familyroom! Would highly recommend this home as it's close to everything you would need in Ocean Beach!upstairs family room.
