We had a really wonderful time during our stay! The location is perfect--walking distance to both the beach and restaurants, coffee shops, bars, etc. It was also a very dog friendly place, complete with small dog bed, bowls and towels. We would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay in Ocean Beach other than trying to find parking. The bathroom had lots of great supplies and the kitchen seemed well stocked. The property manager was very responsive.
The apartment is absolutely adorable. Perfectly located for a quick walk to the beach or a variety of restaurants. The host was wonderful, very accommodating and kind with loads of recommendations for things in the area. Absolutely would recommend staying here for anyone and would definitely stay again if we're ever back to the area again!
I really enjoyed this convenient, comfortable home. It's a short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. I had never been to San Diego before, so I was given the grand tour of all the neighborhoods, but if I had had more time, I would have liked to spend more down time in OB!
This place exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect to access the beach, shops and restaurants. The condo was equipped with beach towels, chairs, body boards, dog toys and sand toys. We enjoyed reading our books on the back patio with a cup of coffee and the local nightlife. If we go to Ocean Beach again, we would love to stay here!

Cozy little suite. Close to the beach, lots of fun shops and places to eat. Parking was almost impossible after 5:00pm.
The place was clean and beautiful with fun and thoughtful decorations. The recent remodel is beautiful. It felt super comfortable and homey therePlus, just a few minutes walk to the beach, dog beach and tons of cool restaurants and shops. The property owner is wonderful and even provides a cute outdoor space with BBQ and there are also beach chairs in a cart you can take to the beach!It was a wonderful and relaxing time there!
We all had a great time. The space met all our needs. It was a quick drive to Seaworld and Legoland, kids loved it. We got to visit some great restaurants. More importantly the beach was at walking distance. The host was pleasant and helpful. Overall a great experience.
We had a wonderful stay here with my family of 5. There was enough space for everyone. Everything was walking distance from this apartment,from a market,restaurants and the beach as well. My kids really enjoyed all the beach equipment they provided which made us have a perfect beach day.It was closed to everything but in a quiet neighborhood.We will definitely be staying here again.
Great stay, the whole family had a wonderful time! The owner was very communicative and provided great details for check-in, what was expected and check out.
Local to everything, we walked to the beach and to restaurants. Took an Uber for everywhere else we went. The locals in the neighborhood were great. Made some friends.
Will definately be visiting again.
Owners communicated all the important information very well! The property was clean and ready early! She gave great recommendations of places to eat as well as places to go see! Loved the games they had, even though we brought some to play. Only “complaint” we would even have, which is NOT a complaint at all is it would be nice if there was more light in the living room. We will definitely stay here again!!!
Location is amazing. A block away from the beach so kids click traverse back and forth without worry. Had all the amenities like gas stove outdoor space and towels and chairs for the beach. Downtown ocean beach wasn’t our style but if you turned right out of the unit a smaller little down town area with two great coffee shops (coffee cycles was our fave) and a good sandwich shoe, tacos, a brew house and pizza, close to freeway to go to Padres or anything else downtown. We brought Enough clothes so I didn’t have to do laundry as the unit doesn’t have a machine. Only downside was there is no parking attached to this unit and we have a large car so finding parking was a bit difficult at times. To unload and load we just had blinkers on while putting stuff in while parked in front of the unit. Overall it was great, couldn’t beat the location!
Description is very accurate. Beds very comfortable. Grill worked great. There are a few grocery stores nearby but be prepared to pay 10 cents per bag and an extra 10 cents for every product packaged in plastic. Thats ridiculous but not an owner problem. It's a California problem.
Very close to beach, restaurants and bars. As mentioned in almost every review, parking is crazy but not stupid crazy. Can always get a closer spot in the mornings. Pay attention to the no parking signs for street sweeping. They mean what it says.

Property fine, property manager not fine
The property manager begins bothering you immediately. She wants you to cancel with VRBO and schedule with her directly. When you get to the property, she wants to know who everyone she sees on security cameras is. She bothered us our entire stay with texts to call her for various reasons. The property is clean and close to beach but WIFI is terrible, you aren’t even able to watch a movie. Lightly is horrible and can hear upstairs guests every step. Close to airport so sound of jets overhead all day.
Host went above and beyond. Neighborhood probably best for adults only, we didn't see many children in that area. Overall was a great stay, the unit was clean, comfortable, and easily accessible.
