It was fine but with several hiccups

Honestly we were quite disappointed from the get go. The day we arrived in San Diego I called the phone number that was listed "if I had any questions" to ask if it was possible to drop off our things (it was pouring rain out) and to see if there was a coffee maker as we were stopped at a store to pick up a few items. The woman who answered the phone didn't let me ask her anything - first thing she said to me is "why are you calling this number? This is my personal number" I mentioned that it was the number listed on the message I received and she said well I don't know why they gave it out (not sure who they is), she was extremely curt and rude and asked me to message the listing. How were we to know that it was her "personal #" when it was the info we were sent? We had a lot of trouble with the door code but eventually got in. The place was clean but several items were in a state of disrepair - front door, lights not working, no switch or remote for the light/ceiling fan in one room, and the light outside the front door did not work so it was dark when we came back at night & hard to see to enter the codes in to enter the property. In addition (and not the property owners fault, but) the family staying next door to us were INCREDIBLY noisy, running up & down the porch/deck at 5am (sounded like it was over our heads) and throughout the day, kids yelling & blowing noisemakers at night & early in the morning.

Do not Recommend

Pros: location, close to the beach, short walk to restaurants & shopsCons- Safety/sketchy door situation (see below)- Dirty floors - soles of our feet were dirty- bathroom sink was backing up- mini fridge had broken handle- selectively responsive host communication- Upon arrival, our door code didn’t work, host responded with a new code- Sometimes the door lock would say “unlocked” but it didn’t unlock- Once inside, we could see that the door was not the original door, and not the door in the listing photos. The new door had metal pull handles on it, unlike a normal door with a doorknob. It didn’t fit the door frame and had large gaps around the edges. The door frame had also been modified with new trim. It did not appear to be a professional installation.- Safety Concerns - We noticed the old door lying in the yard with a big chunk ripped out by the lock. We wondered if there had been a break in. - The host said the damage was caused by a previous intoxicated guest and offered to cover us going out for food and drinks. She said to send her the amount and she would refund us. - She never refunded us, and was unresponsive to these messages, despite being responsive previously. - Insufficient ventilation - we knew there was no AC, but nighttime temps were cooler (enough to need pants and light sweater) so thought it would be ok. The place doesn’t cool down, even with windows open and fans on. It was very hot. Something to consider in the hotter months of the year.

We stayed two nights

The space was tight but had everything we needed the cost was fair. The location was good for exploring San Diego and then making an early trip to the airport. We had a little trouble with the lock the first time but the host was quick to answer the phone and helped to fix the problem.

Do Not Book!

Buyer beware! The overall property was in a good location, but it was very hot. We arrived at the property to check in and noticed right away that the door to our unit was replaced so there was no way to get into the place. There was also construction materials all over the porch. It was obvious there was work being done to the unit and there was no way for us to get in. It seems like the property manager would be aware that we were checking in and the unit was not available. I messaged the host about the situation and we went to dinner. then messaged her through VRBO three additional times over the next 1.5 hours - no response. I found a phone number and called. Rebecca answered and said she would move us to Unit A and she would send instructions. She also said she would refund us a day due to the trouble. We got back to the rental and waited an hour before we were finally got the instructions for the second unit. It was not ideal, but I was satisfied. The short of it is that I have been ignored or strung along now for 5 weeks and never received a 1-day refund. I messaged 3 times through VRBO, texted 2 times, and called 2 times. I never raised my voice and was "disconnected" conveniently during my last call. Every time I spoke with the host she was rude. I called back and left a message and have come to the realization that I will not receive my refund. Do not book this property!

Misleading Property Description

BEWARE! We tried to stay but the heat was unbearable inside due to no A/C. It had to have been sealed up for significant time the way it felt inside. We arrived at 5:30pm, opened all windows, front door & turned the 3 portable fans & ceiling fan on. We messaged the host at 8pm after not being able to cool property to a tolerable temp to sleep. After not hearing from host, we decided to leave. When host finally replied she rudely wrote that property does not have A/C “as stated in the listing” & there would be no refund. Nowhere in the property description does it say “does not” have A/C. That info should have been stated, allowing us, the guests, to make the decision to rent or not. It seems the host KNOWS it’s a problem when there are 3 portable fans & a ceiling fan in about 400 sqft! Supposedly we are the only guests that have ever said anything about the lack of A/C. The host is completely unprofessional. It was over an hour the first time we messaged regarding the heat before she responded but amazingly she responded throughout the rest of the conversation the following day within minutes after sending a message to her. The host accused us of not vacating the property, saying we were “not honest”. Thankfully we took video as we left, locking the door on our way out. Do yourself a favor & find another property with a host that is professional & a property description that lists material facts so you can make an informed decision.

Property was clean and fresh, just like described and photos

We stayed 2 nights wanting to be close to Ocean Beach. Everything went well. It is small, but nice. Offstreet parking was tight with a larger vehicle, but great to have.

Cute Cozy Space

My boys and I absolutely loved this space! I stayed there with my two teen boys and my 4year old and we all loved it! Beach is just a very little walk away and it’s also a walk away from the strip of local retail shops, restaurants, bars, etc. The host was amazing, communication was great and our messages were responded to in a very timely manner.

Only Ocean Beach

The Beach Bungalow is a great jumping off spot for exploring Ocean Beach. One thing to really highlight is the off street parking - worth its weight in gold. If bungalows didn't have their own parking you could circle the block for days or forever! The unit itself is just like the photos - very small - not a place so much to hang out but a great place for exploring Ocean Beach. Plus it has easy access to Mission Beach, Downtown, and Pt Loma. Super fun!

Small spot but good value!

The place is small but on a budget its great. If you are over 6ft the shower can be a bit of a challenge. The hosts were responsive and the place was nice and clean.

Perfect location, short walk to beach and through nice neighborhood

We loved the location and there's a cute pool hall bar within 5 minute walk with a nice vibe and juke box. Had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in this special neighborhood and VRBO! Will hopefully be able to stay here again as we lucked out with the availability.

Labor Day weekend

The place was great for a weekend stay! It was a bit small but good enough for our small family. We enjoyed how close it was to the beach and neighboring restaurants. The property owner was very communicative, and left everything we’d need for a weekend stay. If we come back to this area, we will probably look into this property again!
