    Property was great, good size, comfy and best part was the back patio. Good location within walking distance to Sunset Cliffs and OB Newport Ave.

    We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was very comfortable and cozy. It was a bit chilly to eat outside while we were there but the back patio was lovely. The plants and landscaping around the cottage were divine. Great location and quiet neighborhood. We look forward to staying again!

    We stayed 4 nights and absolutely LOVED the privacy & charm of the old home with the indoor fireplace and outdoor kitchen/patio. We were in walking distance to the cliffs for hiking, and Newport Ave for the local culture. Every cab ride was only 10 minutes to our destination and we really packed it all in. The house was in pristine condition and had everything we desired. It couldn't of been any better!!

    We had a great time at Smiths Cottage By The Beach. The house was comfortable, back yard was super cute, and we had fun in Ocean Beach. Parking behind the property was a lifesaver since street parking is hard to come by. Thanks!

    Took the kids for 4th of July week. Place is great and if it was just my wife and I it would have been perfect. For a 4 & 6 year old the walk into town was a little far. And Ocean Beach as a whole is much more suited for adults and older kids. But would definitely stay again when they’re older. Really great set up. Very grateful. Thank you.

    Just an absolutely wonderful location and house. Far enough from OB to be separate from all of the activity, yet close enough to walk to the main area. The house was very clean and well-kept, as well as the decor. An absolute beautiful backyard and patio to relax after a long day. The next time I’m in San Diego, I will definitely stay here.

    Tucked away on Orchard Street, this lovely cottage has all the comforts of home- and then some! The cozy den with its gas fireplace, the eat in kitchen and comfy queen size bed are welcoming indoor amenities. But the star feature for us is the extensive outdoor living space, with its beautiful gardens, amply sized dining area, grill and outdoor fireplace area. What a treat! Highly recommend this property!

    Spotlessly clean. Great location in Ocean Beach. Lots of room to spread out. Loved the private back patio area (with an orange and a lime tree….cool for an east coast person) for coffee in the morning while still in pjs and we were able to have a few friends over for burgers one night and had plenty of room to entertain. Two heads up. They are not kidding when they say Ocean Beach is in the flight path of the San Diego airport. And the pull out couch (ie second bedroom) is definitely not as comfortable as the very very comfortable bed in the main bedroom. Fine for kids or in my case a 20 something kid. Having two bathrooms was great! I would definitely stay here again.
