first of all I would love to say that this place and location were amazing. we literally walked 1 block to the beach, and the dog beach at that. the property was just as stated. The one turn off for us was the key to unlock the door. there was a notice sent about it being simple, but yet there was a note on door about this, a text video that was sent, and the #1 note in the book with directions on how to make this simple lock work???? by the 3rd and final day we got it down. the place could have used a good clean over, the top of fridge, outside lights, etc. The timed outdoor lights need to be adjusted to, they came on about 8:15, dark at 7ish.However, with all that being said, would I stay here again??? ABSOLUTELY!great location, price, and lovely home. Thanks

Great Ocean Beach villa! The location is great for spending time in Ocean Beach and for excursions into San Diego. Just around the corner from the beach, bike trail and all of the stops in OB. The small portable AC unit kept the entire villa cool. I wish we would have been able to stay more than two nights as I would have enjoyed sitting out on the welcoming patio. Because there seems to be the occasional complaint, if you have issues with the key lockbox a quick google search will find a video and you will have it opened in seconds. All in all, a great stay.

Let’s start with the positives, good location with quick drives to most areas of San Diego. The patio is the best part of the house we enjoyed every night relaxing outside. The beds are super comfortable and hit the spot after a long day. Now for the negatives, the door lock. The worse part of the whole trip was getting in and out of the house. Directions were provided yes, but we could not figure it out. Had to leave early to make sure we could lock the door. Poor experience for renters. Ceiling fans, again in previous reviews of it not having AC, we would have been ok if you could turn the ceiling fans up but they stay on the lowest setting barely moving any air. Plus they are dirty. We did use the dirty box fans which helped. Overall it was a 3 out of 5 only because of the patio.

Detailed directions were provided, including a video showing how to lock the door by simply lifting the handle and turning the key. Very simple.Had you communicated that you were still having difficulty, I would have gladly walked over and demonstrated it for you. The ceiling fans also have adjustable speeds controlled by a button on the wall switch. Again, had you reached out, I could have quickly explained how to increase the speed. We make every effort to assist our guests, but we cannot resolve concerns that are never communicated to us during the stay—especially when the solutions were a simple push of a button and a simple turn of the key. :)

This 2 bedroom was perfect with lots of patio space to bar-b-que and play games. It has a two car driveway and is a few minutes walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, small market, and shopping. We had a great stay.

Phenomenal location and nicely decorated! Be aware, the house does not have a/c or heat. I missed this in the listing which is noted. The house was very hot when we got there and heated up each day so that it was really hard to cool down with fans even with all windows and doors open. They have a portable a/c unit in the house with instructions and notes not to move it however it doesn't work as the tube falls out the back. I messaged the host and they noted that it was left by a past guest which seemed a bit strange given the instructions are the same all over the house not to move things. The house does have 2 box fans but they are really dirty.The outdoor garden is beautiful especially at night.with the lights on. The host was very responsive to messages but didn't provide any helpful information on the best cross ventilation strategy to cool the house down faster. This house would be great for traveling in cooler months.

Thank you for confirming that the listing clearly states the home does not have air conditioning . We do have heat.... Unfortunately, several other statements in this review are inaccurate. The portable AC unit DOES work. It was left by a previous guest as a courtesy and is not an advertised amenity. You were provided with clear instructions on how to properly operate it, including how to secure the exhaust tube. The issue was not that the unit did not work, but that you had difficulty following the instructions provided. Additionally, each room has a ceiling fan, and box fans are also provided throughout the home to help with airflow. It is interesting that you chose to criticize the cleanliness of the fans when the home was left in a considerably messy condition upon your departure. We were extremely responsive throughout your stay and repeatedly attempted to assist you. Unfortunately, this was a difficult hosting experience, particularly when complaints were made about amenities that were never advertised and instructions that were provided were not followed.

We had a wonderful stay in this property, which was just as reflected in the photos and is in a great location very close to the beach. The owner was a stellar communicator and the property was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The outside patio and the availability of parking on the property were fabulous amenities. We hope to stay in this property again on future visits to the area.
