**We are no longer offering modifications to our cancellation policy due to covid-19 so please review our terms and let us know if you have any questions.**

This modernized, air conditioned, non-smoking, family friendly beach cottage, is part of a well maintained duplex. It's located in the prime, centrally located town of Ocean Beach, San Diego.

The property is well managed and maintained by the owners who occupy the adjacent duplex unit (we share a wall as well as backyard fence), so you can rest assured you are the sole guest allowing for rest, relaxation, and fun.

Our rental unit is ideal for those vacationers and families seeking a place to retreat for relaxation after a day at the beach. We encourage all potential guests to consider what it is they want out of their precious vacation time and make sure that this quieter, non-partying location is a good fit.

We allow up to 2 medium sized dogs with an additional $75 pet fee, but please keep in mind that even the best behaved dogs can act differently in a new environment. They will miss you when you are gone and may bark and howl more than they do at your home. If you intend to spend most of the trip without your dog, please consider if it is a good idea to bring your dog as they cannot be left alone for more than 2 hours. Dogs also cannot be left outside unattended at any time. We live here and have dogs ourselves. We expect that barking is curtailed quickly as we will do the same with ours. Please let us know when you book/submit a request if you would like to bring your dog(s) along.

For our guests who work remotely the home has: Gigabit Ethernet Switch (located behind the TV). 3 available access ports to improve connectivity during work-from-home situations. Average internet speeds of 170+Mbps down, 10+Mbps up. Ethernet cables available upon request.

**There are security cameras on the property. They are exterior and are trained on front and back gates and parking spaces.**

We are close enough to the ocean (1 block) such that you can hear the surf and sea lions at night. Stroll down in the morning with your coffee to check the surf and be in the water shortly thereafter.

This location is ideal for those seeking either a high walk-ability factor or as convenient launch point to day and night adventures allowing for a rich Southern California experience.

Ocean Beach offers a unique blend of energy, diversity, and soul. As the saying goes, 'Ocean Beach: its an attitude not a place'. From hacky sacking, hula hooping, and people watching by the grass flat near the pier, to the weekly Farmers Market with Live Music, shopping, and awesome fresh fare, to the vast offering of dining ranging from fish tacos to romantic fine dining there's something for everyone here and you'll be but minutes by foot to take it in at this rental.

Our unit features 2 comfortable queen sized beds, central AC/heat, plenty of private yard space, a high end kitchen, two flat screen TV's with cable, and Roku3. Tank-less water heaters allow for relaxing post ocean swim showers, followed up with unwinding in a comfortable living room.

You'll have off street uncovered alley parking that allows for one full sized car, mid sized SUV, minivan, or mid sized Truck which is very desirable in this area. Sorry but no RV's or tandem parking. If you chose, the property is an easy cab/ride-share from the airport, so if you're looking to stay local, a rental car may not be needed. With cabs, bikes, and the trolley, a reasonably energetic person will fare very well!

We have boogie boards and surf boards, some fishing gear, beach chairs, and an umbrella for your use. There is a shared (with us) washer and dryer for your use on the property. You will have a Weber gas grill with plenty of propane for your use.

If you decide to book with us, we will email you a welcome letter with the necessary information you will need to get to the home shortly after booking. Your personalized contract/pet terms (if applicable) will be attached. We ask that they are returned to us within 72 hours of receipt. We will need you to provide an email address for us to send these documents to you.

Starting May 1, 2023 San Diego requires ALL Guests staying at Short Term Residences (less then one month) to acknowledge and agree to the guidance in the Good Neighbor Policy notice provided by the host.

    We had a great stay. Everything you need for a stay close to the beach. Plenty of beach items available for use. We got some use of the boogie boards and it was so much fun. The kitchen had more then enough items for what we needed. But had everything you would need for cooking. The hosts were very responsive and offered up some fun things to do in OB as well. Having a parking spot is so nice, and no need to drive much. Couple minute walk to the beach. 10ish minute walk to restaurants. Place was clean and has a really nice outdoor space which can be rare in this area. Would 100% stay here again. Lot of attention to the little details that make the stay comfortable.

    This is a cute little place with a nicely appointed kitchen. They had tea and coffee, nice touch. Owners mention family friendly but when my family members came over for an evening meal, I was questioned about my guests (2 grown kids and my retired aunt and uncle). Owners mention security cameras on premises, and consequently I was questioned by text 3 times during my stay. Listing describes on-site laundry, but I was told to leave said shared basement laundry because my adult daughter was visiting. My husband and I owned and rented a luxury beach home in Myrtle Beach and we never surveilled or micromanaged our guests. Due to the strict oversight I would not stay here again.

    We loved our stay Rich and Adrienne's property! It as very clean and in excellent condition. In fact I was shocked to find out they had been renting it out since 2012! Quite often places are showing a lot of wear and tear after a few years of being rented out as a vacation property. But that was definitely not the case here. We also loved the fact that they were truly pet friendly. They had put covers on the couches (no need to use the extra sheets we had brought with us for that purpose). They had a dog bed in the living room. There were dog water bowls, shampoo and towels available in the hall closet. The small securely fenced yard was perfect for our dogs. And of course, the location is just a couple of blocks from dog beach, which we visited twice a day with our pups. Ocean Beach is in the flight path of the San Diego airport, so airplane noise is just a reality. But the neighborhood was surprisingly calm and quiet, especially given that it's a beach community and the residences are packed in pretty closely. You could easily walk to the heart of Ocean Beach (Newport Ave.) which is just a few blocks from the rental. My wife played pickleball at the nearby Barnes Center and rode her bike over to Mission Bay/Beach. This vacation rental is going on our keeper list and we will definitely be going back!

    Location in Ocean Beach could not be better! Close to the dog beach, coffee shops and restaurants - but in a quiet neighborhood. The space is very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Off-street parking a major bonus. Very clean apartment and bed was comfortable. Hosts were very nice and helpful with restaurant recommendations. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

    Rich and Adrienne were the perfect hosts! They have all the little touches one wants in a VRBO, nothing AT ALL that we needed that they didn't have. Truly above and beyond. They were easy to communicate with, always quick to respond. And, I really want their house! LOL Just a long block to the beautiful beach; a half block to a liquor/convenience store; a nice stroll to restaurants/bars in either direction. The house itself is just as it appears online. We really enjoyed the backyard area. We are already talking about booking it again! Highly recommend. Thanks Rich and Adrienne!!

    My father, brother, and myself stayed for three nights. Hosts were very communicative and provided detailed information about the stay well in advance, they also checked in frequently to make sure everything was okay. Walking distance to both downtown OB and the beach itself. Everything in the unit was clean and tidy. Outside patio was great extension of the living space. Really enjoyed our stay!

    This property was EXACTLY as it is in the photos. It was a quick 5 min walk away from Ocean Beach and close to a lot of the places we wanted to visit while we were there (like SeaWorld). They also have EVERYTHING you could possibly need: condiments, utensils, dishes, appliances (including a toaster and a blender), beach chairs and beach toys and so much more. I also really appreciated that they included an extra blanket in the bedroom cupboards for someone like me who's always cold. The beds were comfortable, and the house was clean and in great condition. They even had a fresh bag of coffee ready next to the coffee maker which was so thoughtful! The hosts were great! They were very welcoming and helpful and had excellent communication with us whenever we had a question. The only thing is that the airplanes do fly over during the daytime. They stop after 11pm or 11:30 and don't start again until morning. You can definitely hear them during the day, but that didn't really bother us. (The hosts might actually mention this in their description already, I can't remember) We would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a nice little beach house in San Diego and I'd happily rent this place again!

    This property met all of our needs and more. It had a wonderful backyard for our dog, 1 block from the beach, and within walking distance to restaurants. The location was excellent. The VRBO was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were so helpful providing information and recommendations. The community is very quiet and laid back during the week. We would highly recommend this VRBO.
