It's a little bit funky, it's a little bit retro, and it's ALL beachy fun!

Located in the heart of one of San Diego's most famous beach communities and within walking distance to the ocean and to the heart of the Ocean Beach community, our place offers everything you might need to rest, rejuvenate and have some fun in San Diego!

Not only are we right down the street from shopping, restaurants and entertainment, but we are mere minutes from San Diego's best beaches, including Pacific Beach, La Jolla and Del Mar. Sea World is right around the corner, Balboa Park is just a hop, skip and a jump away, and the Gaslamp District is about 10 minutes down Interstate 5. Let's just say we're about 10 minutes from almost any place you might want to visit in our amazing city, as well as the San Diego International Airport!

This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep four. Our beach cottage features a queen-sized bed, along with a very comfortable sofa sleeper. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and amenities include free parking, free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV.

Guest Access

You will have access to the entire bungalow and all amenities, including the front yard outdoor space and, of course, sunny San Diego!

If you’re looking for a laid back beach to hang out like a local, look no further than Ocean Beach. This small beach town is a favorite among locals who spend their days surfing, sun bathing around the pier, hanging out and strolling through the many surf shops, taco stands and antique malls. Ocean Beach offers the pitch perfect throw-back groovy vibe of vintage SoCal, coupled with friendly locals, great dining, and a vibrant night life scene.

Nestled between the San Diego River and the hills of Point Loma, Ocean Beach is perfect for surfers to enjoy the waves created by jetties. The beach is super friendly for swimmers and sun bathers!

Getting around

A rental car is strongly recommended! Otherwise, Uber, Lyft and taxicabs are the best bets, but mediocre SoCal public transportation is also available. ;)

    This rental is more than just as cute as the picture indicate, it is well situated for neighborhood walks to Ocean Beach and the Farmer’s Market on Newport and eateries. Our stay was comfortable in every sense of the word, too. Open windows provide great airflow and we appreciated just how quiet the neighborhood and this street are. Groceries were easily found nearby and the kitchen hosted our ‘at home’ meals well. Lovely abode.

    This place was fine for what we needed. However, it was incredibly dirty! The floors were full of dirt. The bedroom and bathroom had mold growing on the ceiling. The bedding and towels smelled terrible, to the point where I’m thinking they were not washed. The location and size were great.

    Great location! Close to great food options and beach was walkable. A cute little bungalow with great plants around the outside. Would be perfectly suited for a couple. There were limited linens and the kitchen was also pretty limited (ex. three bowls, only serrated knives). Beach towels, chairs, and sand toys were provided which was very appreciated. It got warm, so we were grateful for the many box fans. Property has seen some wear and tear since the pictures were taken, but is a great place to stay for the price point.

    The apartment smelt a bit like smoke and there were a few ants in the bedroom against the wall facing outside next to the planters (probably attracted to the moisture there, and we didn’t have any bites from them), but the place was cute, great location, and it was nice having a full kitchen. The host is very responsive and polite.

    Place was great for what we needed. Close enough to beach to walk to, grocery store and friendly restaurants around the corner also within walking distance. Bed was comfy and clean. Plenty of pillows. It beat renting a hotel for sure since I enjoy being able to cook my own food. There was a hose around the back to use to clean off sand from the beach which was also a plus. The only things I didn't like was the apple TV device as I think it'd be better if their was a Roku or Fire TV since there are more app options with these and most of the things I already pay for at home were not available via the AppleTV. 2 lamps by the bed also were not plugged in as there wasnt a close enough outlet so I'd recommend bringing your own extension cord for things like plugging those in or your phone to rest in the bedside table. Luckily I had my own PC with me to play D&D with my group on the Saturday I was there and I was able to use it it with the TV instead but since that PC didn't have a wifi card I had to use my phone for Internet connection. That allowed us to be able to watch things we actually wanted to in the living room while playing board games as a family.

    The property was easy to find; check-in was a breeze; and the parking space behind the building was a bonus as O.B. fills up quickly with beach traffic! I had minimal contact with Drew, but when I did reach out via Vrbo, he promptly responded!I also liked that there were plenty of towels!Cons - the property looked a little worse-for-wear when compared to online photos.The neighbors across the way bickered loudly, and with their door open, nearly every night. I used to live in O.B. and I'd say that this bungalow gives the full O.B. experience. All in all, it was a place to sleep, far enough from the noise of Newport, but a close enough walk to the beach. Thanks guys!

    We spent a week at OB staying at the bungalow, here are our impressions and feedback:Positives:- location: walking distance to shops, good restaurants and beach. Very central to most of typical SD attractions if you have to drive places.- Cute neighborhood, feels safe to stay here. - Designated free parking spot.- Comfy bed and comfy pull out sofa.Needs improvement: - delivery on promises from the host: registered 2 grown ups and 1 teen, bedding was available for only 2 people upon check in. Was told that the cleaners will drop off extra bedding asap, and never heard back again. Not sure what happened, but no one stopped by. We made it work with the available bedding, but this is not ideal.- Replace bath towels (old and with bleach stains) - Replace frying pans (food sticks on)- Larger shower curtain is needed- it’s short for the current tub - Lawn furniture would be nice Negatives:- No AC - yes, I know that AC isn’t listed as an amenity, but it is very much needed - bungalow heats up very quickly and it took couple hrs to cool it down from 89F to 76F. Very dirty fans available to move the air. Absolutely don’t recommend using oven to cook because of that. - Bare minimum of plates and cups. - Noise (neighbors were arguing all nights into early morning ,airplanes, cars) since you be sleeping with the windows open due to no AC.- Only 2 chairs in the kitchen at the table- if you market this unit for up to 4 people, make sure 4 people can sit down and eat.

    The accommodations where clean and inviting. Host communicates well. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops. Only suggestion would be a space heater and area rugs for the bedroom during the winter months as it was definitely colder than normal for San Diego. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay in this bungalow. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our daughter slept great on the pullout couch and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location is exceptional. The main street had many fantastic, unique shops, and restaurants. And it is just minutes to a beautiful beach. We will definitely be back!
