    First off they are lying about the property it is not even close to 3 blocks to the beach is much much further much further. There is not much in the immediate neighborhood unless you need your car worked on or vegan fast food. We picked this based on the 3 blocksit's a blatant lie. We had to go rent a car because of that. The room is small but we knew that, there is no seating that is useful, so you sit in the bed to do most things. Speaking of being in the bed, you get a great view of the most disgusting sky light thing directly over your bed, you would think they could clean that but you would be wrong it hasn't been cleaned in possibly years. So there's no walkable places to eat, not walkable to the beach, no where to sit, in bed your worried about bugs falling on you and there is no air conditioning, it was late October and the place was sweltering hot, they do give you a fan lol a tower fan that will blow hot air on you while you're soaked in sweat. Overall it has a cooling effect lol. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because they did give us beach chairs to use and that was nice, we put them in the trunk of the car that we rented because they lied about the distance to the beach. Find a better place you will not like this one, they should be giving me some of my money back for having to stay in this hole

    Francesca was so helpful and replied to any question immediately. #1AMORE was so cozy, so cute, and in a great location in Ocean Beach, allowing for easy walking everywhere. Admittedly, we didn't spend that much time there as we live in Wyoming, where we are headed into winter. It was so nice to be outside. But so nice to come back and relax. We will stay again in the future if we are in the area!

    Cottage was clean. Bed was extremely firm ( be aware if you prefer a softer mattress) Decor is different than in photos but still nice. I was unable to completely turn off the heater so it got a bit stuffy. I also wish I had been warned to look more carefully at the parking restrictions so I could have avoided getting a parking ticket. Good location.

    Amazing place! The location is perfect. Less than 10min walk to the beach with shops and restaurants along the way! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot and better hosts. We will be renting this spot every time we go to SD!

    Location was very good. Could have used a calendar to strain pasta. Would liked to have a better bed. I find that there could be a better bed. Appreciated the use of beach chairs. I did not appreciate the fact that we had to wash the dishes and empty the trash as I was charged 65 for housekeeping and feel that should be the job of the housekeeper. That is if I had to leave in a hurry and was not able to do the dishes.

    Such a cute little bungalow. It is small, but you dont need much space anyways. As noted in the listing, there is no ac, however we didnt need it. Theres plenty of shade around keeping it cool. I would stay here again.

    Overall a good stay. The property is exactly as pictured. Pros very close to the beach, clean, fairly easy to park. Cons airplane noise is very loud, the bed was a full size and tight for two people (it was me and my 18 year old daughter and it felt too small). I would say if you’re just looking for a small spot to sleep and be close to the beach, it does the job!

    When we arrived to stay in our place, everything looked fine and cleanly; however, when we pulled up the sheets there were many crusty stains as if nothing had been washed. Given that we got in late, we didnt have many options to go stay elsewhere.Other than that, the place was ok.

    This was the best place I have stayed with VRBO!! 10/10 stars. I felt safe, clean and comfortable bungalow, near eateries, shopping and the host was great! Communication with the host was awesome, they answered my call and kept me informed of little details of my rental. It’s a hour or so walk to Sunset Cliffs and worth it!! 20 minutes walk to dog beach & beach. I’d stay here again!!
