Heavily Discounted & Thoroughly Clean @ the Beach

Be aware that you are getting what you pay for a heavily discounted price. PROS - Cool rooftop - Unique architecture - Location near everything - Beds were comfortable but super bright at sunrise (didn't sleep in master bedroom) CONS - Overall in dire need of repair, maintenance, deep cleaning - Dust on the strings strung up for fall protection in the open-style bed nooks - Many light switches and outlets weren't working - Dryer door could not close properly without tape - Likely insect droppings on the 2nd floor couch coming from the stairs leading to the rooftop. What made it worse was the unalarmed host who tried to accuse us of sleeping on the couch and dirtying it. We pride ourselves in being clean and respectable travelers - Bath and cleaning products could be non-toxic, vegan and cruelty free for the animals and planet - Need more green building and sustainability measures like balcony solar

Easy check-in and easy to find.

This house is in an excellent location. There was parking for 2 vehicles in the driveway, and street parking as well. The house was laid out in an interesting way with beds in different nooks and an outdoor shower in the master bathroom! The rooftop area was a definite plus. Everything was clean, and our host was incredibly communicative. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and great vibe!Pedro communicates quickly and effectively.The windows and lighting are so open and sunny. Perfect for a true beach getaway.Minutes from the beach and shopping and a 7 minute drive to sea worldPlenty of towels provided and very clean. We hope to return!

We had a great staycation. Plenty of places to sleep and close to all in OB.

Great place to stay, close to the beach! Host was communicative and helpful!

Close to beach and close walking to shops and food, great for larger families. Outdoor shower was fun.

The property was great and I had a great location. We really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed as a family of 2 adults and 4 young adult/teenage kids. Excellent central location to many fun activities. We could easily walk to the beach and had just a few minute drive to La Jolla, Coronado, etc. Kitchen had adequate equipment. We cooked frequently. Rooftop patio was a great place to drink morning coffee as long as the sound of the airplanes flying over head bothers you. It had a great view. There are lots of stairs/ ladders so it may not be a comfortable stay if you are elderly or out of shape. Washer/dryer was available. The dryer door was held closed by tape and would frequently open during a cycle which was the most annoying part of our stay. When we needed additional trash bags and reached out to Pedro, within 30 minutes he had trash bags delivered. Overall, will definitely reach out to stay here again if we are back in San Diego

Overall, we had a good stay. Location is excellent. The house is small but the layout afforded the privacy. The Host is quick to respond. However, it was missing some of the items advertised and some things are just broken. Think the owner or host have not been there to check for a long time. Pro: near beach, street parking available in addition to the carport and driveway, modern looking, fun layout with ladders to loft, roof looked great though we did not use it since it rained, nice to have washer/dryer and dishwasher, responsive host. Con: only one kitchen towel, and 1 hanger in the entire house, 2nd floor balcony sliding door does not latch to fully close, not enough blankets, I had to go to a nearby motel to pick up blankets myself. We had 9 people and I would say it cannot house any more. The living room futon bed is not a place to sleep as it has zero privacy and is on the way of all traffic. The futon is also extremely uncomfortable to sit in. Lacked sitting space for 9 people. Fortunately I brought 3 folding chairs myself. 2nd floor restroom mirror has crack, outdoor shower is not fully private to use (needs the couple of extra pieces of wood that another reviewer said. Pots and pans are really old, We used my son's Christmas presents (pots, pans, and food containers). Dishes and utensils is barely enough for 9 people. I think if the owner/host just made a visit and take inventory on what needs fixed and replaced or replenished, it would make it a lot nicer.

We stayed with adult children for 3 nights. We were excited after a few nights of traveling and staying in hotels to be able to settle in and cook our meals. The good and not so good:Good:The host was great at communicating and the check in process was smooth and very easy. The host was great at fixing a broken faucet and bringing more towels.It is a very cool space! The roof top space is awesome. The location is great-a few minutes walk to the beach. Not so good:It needs a good DEEP cleaning and some basic maintenance. We wanted to settle in and be comfortable but it was just dirty enough that we didn’t. The floors were sticky, the doors and door jams by the door knob’s are dirty! The couches had coverings on them to hide the nasty cushions. They are dirty enough none of us wanted to use them as a pull out bed. You also couldn’t sit on them-you feel every spring and support-they desperately need to be replaced. There is a washer and dryer but they don’t really work. The dryer has tape residue from people trying to keep the door shut. Both are very dirty and need to be cleaned, fixed/ replaced. The sliding door in the kitchen doesn’t stay shut and you can’t lock it. The dish washer doesn’t work-we had to wash all our dishes. This place has a lot of potential with a little maintenance and cleaning.

Great location and great host

This was such an interesting and fun house! The kids loved it. Our older joints not so much. Lol. The kitchen could use some more things to make it easier to cook. There were no hot pads and only two towels. I imagine most people who stay here don't cook though. Bathrooms had no washcloths. In general things could use some sprucing up. But the property manager was easy to get ahold of and very accommodating. The roof deck was amazing! I loved sitting up there and people watching. The beach was an easy walk and I loved seeing all the dogs on the dog beach. The main bed was too hard for my liking, but my daughter thought it was comfortable. The couch also seemed hard. But overall it was a neat experience. We loved the location.

Host communication was excellent. House was like staying in shoots and ladders. House is located right across the street from a Liquor store and we were woken up several times by drunken people. Couches were not very comfortable, felt springs and lumpy.

This was a great place to stay and was walking distance to many places in the area. The unit was very clean and spacious inside and the rooftop deck was spectacular. Pedro was quick to reply and I would stay here again. Thanks!

We had an absolutely amazing time at this property. Literally only a block from the beach. The rooftop has the most amazing 360 view of Ocean Beach! The outdoor shower was such a cool bonus!

Room had bugs crawling across floor, there was a different sofa tan what was advertised and was filthy. Front door inside handle fell of when first entering unit, hand railing support broken. The sliding glass door would lock. The washer dryer had hair and scum in it. We had to clean for we couldn’t find a place to stay the first night and canceled the rest of the stay while we go charger over 400 dollars for cleaning and host fees.

The rooftop deck, multiple patio spaces and the outdoor shower were great. Thank you.

Location, neighborhood, and vibe were excellent. The kitchen doesn't have basic necessities such as forks and spoons, but otherwise overall great!

Perfect location for the local vibe of OB. Walk everywhere easily, for more food and drink than you can consume. Rooftop view is unreal. Porch off the kitchen was our go to for hanging out. Lots of stairs and ladders, so that's a consideration if it applies to you. The property is in the nature of OB. Not the super-fancy, but definitely good value once you realize the scene you are in. We're all in our 60's and it suited us well.

Unique property with lots of light, close to Ocean Beach, and very cool rooftop space. Some wear and tear on some things, but overall had a very pleasant stay.

Parking rocks! Great location

House was super neat and the roof top was icing on the cake! Great location too.

Stayed here to spend some time at the beach. Great location, close to the beach and tons of food and drink options. The host was terrific. Overall 5 stars would stay again!

Our group of 7 (including young adults and teens) had a wonderful stay! We had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The teens especially loved having their own suite on the lower level. The home itself was full of fun touches and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of our favorite features was the rooftop deck which was perfect for watching SeaWorld’s fireworks at night and soaking in the ocean views. Having a bathroom on every level was a big plus, especially with a larger group.The location couldn’t have been better! Just a short walk to the beach, great restaurants (OB NoodleHouse was a favorite) and shops. We made the most of our time here and honestly didn’t want to leave.Already dreaming about coming back!

Had a bit of trouble getting ahold of Pedro in the beginning, but had a great time! Fatastic location!

Just finished our three-night stay and would have stayed longer! Plenty of space and room to spread out. Check in was easy as was check out. Directions very specific and easy to follow. Great location - close to Ocean Beach. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. Thank you!

Location is perfect! The rooftop patio and outdoor shower were a favorite for all of us. It had everything we needed and my kids loved the lofts.

Property was great for our teens, who stayed in the downstairs suite. Was very walkable to the beach, shops, restaurants.

Amazing location a block away from the beach, two blocks from the main strip, where all the restaurants are and coffee shops are everywhere! Incredible house, super well stocked kitchen and breathtaking, rooftop patio, would definitely rent again!

Clean and comfortable home. Would definitely stay again!!

Clean, well-stocked and the rooftop deck was great!

We loved the location. I am surprised this place has gotten such stellar ratings, though. Outdoor shower: amazing, life-changing, made me want one for my house... But, passersby can pretty much see your body. If there were just one more wood plank along the bottom of the fence, and one vertical one along the corner, it would have gone from rated R to rated G. Laundry: dryer door was broken--it would not stay closed, and so the dryer would not run. Pedro said he would send a handyman but no one ever showed up. So, I had to buy some tape to close it. That did fix the problem. I strongly suggest bringing some packing tape with you if you stay here. Dishwasher: time-release latch to hold soap was broken. I tried putting an extra detergent packet on the top rack to try to delay release. Didn't really work... I hand-washed. Coffee maker: drip preventer broken for when you take the pot out of the unit. Utensils: overall cheap and lacking; for example, seven spoons in the house for the five of us, no measuring spoons, dull knives, etc.Condition: much shabbier than in the pictures, such as extremely uncomfortable couch, a big crack in one of the windows, a few boards games but boxes falling apart, only a few beach towels supplied, etc, but clean. Wifi code: not listed in the house or on VRBO or in the welcome email.Host: answered quicklyLocation: phenomenal, a short walk from the beach Rooftop: not fancy but extremely pleasant. But, no table to eat our food at.

The property has definately been a rental for some time. The couches are very worn and not really in good shape to use as sleeping spaces or even comfortable enough for sitting. There were no dish towels or hand towels. The bed bed frame in the bedroom need

We had a great stay. Property manager was prompt in answering our questions. The place met our expectations.

Great host , Great Property , Centrally located , We had a great time , absolutely no complaints. Plan to stay there again

Overall very nice and clean. Walking distance to a lot of local restaurants and night life. Host was very nice and easy to get in touch with. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed and had family meet us. It was great. We will definitely be back!

This house is as-advertised - affordable, spacious, near the beach. Bonuses include a car port (parking is tight in Ocean Beach), a well-equipped kitchen, outdoor shower, and a very responsive property management team.

Fun place to stay with great roof to hang out. Only issue was that there was no backing sheet to make breakfast.

I brought my daughter from Colorado and enjoyed the warmer weather in January! Great property very spacious.

It’s a 10 out of 10 it’s really nice we had a nice time in this house I totally recommend it

Overall a fantastic location, fantastic amenities and cleanliness. Almost perfect. Only complaint is that the heater did not work. I contacted the property manager by text and through VRBO chat to inquire about it and never received a response. November is cooler and it was a little inside chilly at night.

This was a great place. Walking distance to so much plus the beach.

It is absolutely beautiful, and in the best location. If you don’t want you don’t ever have to leave OB and walk everywhere. The roof top view is the best!!! You could get lost up there for hours with a bottle of wine and smoke treat!!
