Beautiful, Charming, Historic 2BR Cottage-Yard/Patio-Blocks To Beaches/Shops-OB

Enjoy the vintage charm and venerable character of this beautiful & historic Ocean Beach cottage. This lovely 1920s Craftsman-Style Bungalow located in the heart of Ocean Beach is a certified historical landmark and was one of the very first cottages built in OB! Updates have been done where needed but most everything is original.

The house and lavishly landscaped property have been meticulously maintained and cared for. The house has two full levels and you will have access to the entire main level/top floor complete with two bedrooms; one with a queen Sealy Posturepedic bed and the other with a full size. The bathroom has a large tub and shower available. There is a sunny, cozy living room with comfortable seating, built-in bookcases, and a gas fireplace. The ample vintage kitchen with breakfast nook features a fully functional 1940s Chambers gas stove for all your cooking needs. Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of space for your food items and a large sink with garbage disposal aids in making clean-up a cinch. There is a mudroom between the kitchen and back deck for hanging coats and removing shoes. Relax on the front porch, back deck, garden, or patio area complete with al fresco dining. Delight in a peaceful moment in the swing chairs hanging in the shade of the 50-year-old Japanese Red Pine tree while butterflies and hummingbirds flutter about. Or barbecue on the Weber gas grille surrounded by a gorgeous fenced-in yard with fruit trees, grapevines, native cacti, succulents, and other indigenous flora. Enjoy the convenience of the outdoor laundry area.

The property is just blocks from several beaches including a local "secret" spot. Hit the shops and bars, grab brunch, or dine in one of the dozens of wonderful restaurants on and around Newport Ave. Stroll or take in the sunset on Ocean Beach Pier. And...don't forget to check out the OB Farmer's Market & Street Fair every Wednesday from 4:00-8:00 pm!

*Please note that there is a small studio unit located on the lower, garden level. This is completely separate and self-contained with its own private entrance and patio area.

Lovely and charming

This historic cottage is lovely! We had a wonderful stay and the property was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and Brenden is an excellent host. The cottage is very charming and the backyard space is private and cozy. The neighborhood is awesome. Easy walks to great coffee shop, restaurants, and tide pools. We will definitely be staying here again on future trips.

Ocean Beach Historic Cottage

The cottage was very cute and the description is accurate. It is old and vintage. Very convenient to the town, shopping, restaurants and beach. We walked everywhere.The best thing was Brenden, our host. He was fantastic. Check in was a breeze, he brought us fresh apples picked from the many fruit trees on the property. Any question we had he was quick to answer. He couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. Definitely the host with the most.We went for a girls long weekend. The cottage is not fancy, but it was clean and comfortable and convenient and the 1948 Vintage Stove was so cool. I definitely recommend Brenden and his historic cottage.

Expedia Should Not Allow Listings without Completed House Access Manuals to be rented

Host forgot to give instructions to access the property. Expedia canceled /refunded my reservation the next morning when they could not reach the host either. From my tour of the property after the fact: Historical cottage charm; old energy and vibes. Coffee available. Beds/pillows comfortable, but not adequate space to open a carry-on and unpack. Living room / seating area okay; sofa needs to be larger than a loveseat. Kitchen is adorable with original gas stove and ocean view. Do not stay at this property if you enjoy pristine bathroom conditions / a showering experience--a lot to be done there. Original glass and windows are charming, but if you are HSP, have misophonia, or any kind of noise sensitivity not stay at this cottage b/c it is in airlines flight path from 600am until late-night. Property is full of beautiful vegetation, fruit trees, raised beds, birds. Ocean view from balcony off the kitchen. Cottage is walkable to beach and the main drag

Excellent OB Bungalow

We have been to several VRBO rentals over the years but we thoroughly enjoyed the OB bungalow. The comfort, close proximity to shopping, restaurants and especially the beach, (which were all walking distances), the value and the historic significance all contributed to the awesome stay.Reserving was fast and straightforward, check-in was simple, entering the premises was a breeze and our host went all out with his communication and care for our comfort.We have bookmarked this bungalow for future visits!
