We had a great visit in Ocean Beach. However, the home was not what we had expected. The kitchen was not ready for guest -- no dish towels, no hot pads, no skillet, no toaster and there was no hot water and the water pressure was very low. We always have enjoyed preparing a nice breakfast before we start our days activities, so we did leave you with towels and hot pads and a skillet. The other issue was with the trash pick up. The outside can was overflowing when we arrived. Needless to say we expected that it would be picked up on Monday as the instructions indicated. The overflowing car was still there when we checked out on Thursday. We could not get any more trash into the container. Another oversite was the upstairs bedroom with the two twin beds - neither bed had a top sheet - only the bottom fitted sheet and the duvet cover.Not sure if other guest have mentioned these issues, but wanted to let you know.Regards, Linda

This a super cute place just minutes (walking) from the beech. The neighborhood was fantastic - lots of cute shops and great restaurants (all within walking distance) - all within walking distance. The host is very responsive and the place was spotless when we arrived. Perfect for a beech get away.

Rooms were clean, a.c. felt great! Parking was good for one space only. The host responded almost immediately to my questions throughout my visit. I’d definitely keep this property on my wish list if I ever come back to San Diego.
