* Please note the 3 bedroom are all connected. From inside the home, you will go through the master bedroom to get to bedroom 3 (aka kids room with the trundle bed. Then bedroom 2 (back bedroom with queen bed) is connected to bedroom 3. All doors have a lock. Bedroom 3 (kids room) has its own private entry way from the back yard. Bedroom 2 (queen bedroom) has french doors that open out but we would not consider this as a private entry as you can only lock the door from the inside. This layout is common for homes built in the 1940's. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Guest Access:
The entire home is yours including the exclusive use of the outdoor patio adjoining the home (note, however, there is a separate guest house with its own space adjoining the backyard at the rear of the property; while the guest house is adjacent to the backyard it has its own separate parking and outdoor space...While the 2 are connected the spaces are in no way shared (other than the common area washer/dryer in the courtyard)).

You may also rent the entire property and host up to 8 guests across 2 separate spaces, please contact us if you are interested.

The Neighborhood:
OB is the hippest and most "neighborly" of San Diego's beach communities. There is nothing quite like the non-corporate lifestyle of Ocean Beach. The locals here love OB for its eclectic community that supports a range of wonderful small shops, restaurants, bars and coffee houses. You will find some of the best food, drink and shopping in the local area. Very walkable and close to the beach. All of OB is accessible on foot from this location. So enjoy and take it all in!

Getting Around:
Rental bikes and scooters are plentiful for rent by the hour/day/week. Uber/Lyft are very active in San Diego and the assigned parking guarantees that you will always have parking should you venture out into greater San Diego.

Other Things to Note:
Note that this is a "traditional" beach bungalow. What that means is that a premium is placed on outdoor space so the rooms are literally connected to one another. However, 1 of the 3 rooms has it own entry. ((the master off the main living area and the two back bedrooms have doors that lead directly to the backyard) so privacy can still be had.

This is a family oriented neighborhood and good neighborly behavior is desired so we can keep thriving in this wonderful beach town.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

This property is pet friendly, though we don't allow cats here. There is a $200 pet fee applied after booking. If you have any questions please ask!

Interaction with Guests:
Check in is completely contactless. You will receive a text with a link with all the details you need for checking in, house details, and departure info. We are available 24/7 in case anything you need should arise.

Great sunny little getaway

Clean, convenient, great location to beach. Kitchen had everything we needed, and with 5 of us, we were grateful to have the 2 bathrooms. We appreciated the beach towels and our kids loved the pull out bed- they said it was like a slumber party. We had a great trip! I didn’t realize that all of Ocean Beach is in the flight path of planes taking off from SD airport, so I was grateful for the white noise machine we brought with us.

Just Perfect for a Family Holiday

My family had an amazing stay over the Christmas holiday. We rented out both properties so that my husband and I and our reactive dog stayed in the smaller guest house and the rest of the family stayed in the main home on the same property. It was such a perfect situation where we never felt over cramped and everyone had the right amount of togetherness and privacy as needed. Dog beach is a minute walk away and it was wonderful to wake up early and take the dog to the beach to play in the ocean, especially because he has only ever known the deserts of the Southwest. Magical.We also couldn't stop talking about how all the kitchen appliances were well maintained and well appointed, which almost never happens with vacation rentals. Thank you so much for the perfect holiday setting! We will be back.

Beach lovers dream! Having the new beach chairs and umbrella for use for the very short walk to beach was great. We walked to most restaurants and were happy to have a parking spot for nights we did leave the neighborhood.

Great property for anyone looking for a place to stay super close to the beach. The home is as listed, lots of room to sleep up to 8 people. Parking is tough if you have more than two cars but that should be expected only 1/2 a block from the beach during the summer.
