Although there were plenty of restaurants ad bars within walking distance there we like to cook in one or two nights and had brought food to cook with but found there were no baking dishes. Ocean Beach was amazing The people were friendly, the beach was in walking distance. We had a great stay and would stay again.

Amazing location and such a nice bed. They’ve gotten a bigger one since the listing photos were taken. Got a great nights sleep. There’s no air con so just be aware, though they do provide a fan. Some advertised amenities were missing and I did not receive a response regarding a significant leak beneath the bathroom sink. Kind of led me to believe they knew about it already and just haven’t bothered to fix it, though I hope that’s not the case!

What an excellent place to stay in Ocean Beach, California! Very clean. Has a kitchen with a range, refrigerator, lots of amenities like dishes, coffee maker, coffee supplied, all bedding, towels, and is close to the beach. Contact with the owner is fantastic if you have any questions. We are very satisfied with our stay there. Plan on going there again next year for another vacation. Highly recommend for anyone who plans on going to Ocean Beach for a vacation. Check-in was very easy. You are given a key code by email before checking in. Very nice VRBO!

This rental was perfect for our stay in Ocean Beach! Walking distance to the beach and all amenities we needed were included in the apartment. Even street parking was manageable. The airport is close by so you do hear planes flying over during waking hours. The host was easy to reach and very accommodating to us. Highly recommend and would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at this property! Clean, simple, close walk to lots of coffeeshops and food that we enjoyed. It had everything we needed for a small weekend getaway. If you are looking to cook, the kitchen is a little limited and there is no coffee grinder as is listed. This didn’t impact our stay too much, we still had a wonderful time
