The property is super cute and close to the beach. It had everything we needed, and more! From the "shark bed" for my son, to the pet relief area in the back for the dogs, to the outdoor shower and even beach storage area out back, it really had it all. There's even a market right around the corner and downtown OB is just a short walk away.

Sweet Cottage

This was a very comfortable place at one of the "old style California Beaches". Easy walk to the beach and dog beach, our dog loved it. Lots of decent restaurants around and small markets. Place had all you need to cook, sleep, play and lounge. Very enjoyable. And if you count planes, you wont be disappointed.

Perfect week at the beach

This was an amazing property! The location was great and I loved taking my dog to the beach multiple times a day. The porch was great to enjoy a drink and people watch with a view of the ocean at sunset. The back patio was also great with a super convenient outdoor shower and a pet relief area inside the fence. The place was spotless and the area was quiet and relaxed. Would definitely rent again!

Memorial Day 2021

On occasion I've found the property does not live up to the pictures. This property is BETTER than the pictures. Everything you need in this cozy cute little beach bungalow is at your fingertips. Steps from the beach, it is a quiet neighborhood with friendly folks living nearby and walking by the front of the house to the beach. The kitchen has everything you need and the washer and dryer made it so convenient. We will definitely stay here again. Comfortable furniture and a spacious deck out back - Loved it!

Spring Break Vacay

After staying several times on Mission Beach and Newport Beach, we tried OB last year and found our new place to stay therefore returning this year. We’ve discovered the neighborhood is much more family friendly; the food and shops are closer; and the beach is not busy. Our stay at Brighton Beach Cottage is the perfect spot from the beach and eateries. Lots of space for a family of 5 to spread out and have their own space with a private front and very spacious back patio. I know it only has one bathroom, however, the fact that you have lots of private space inside and out, close proximity to the beach/eateries, and the amazingly spacious dedicated parking spot completely outweigh that fact. We appreciate Catrina allowing us to stay in her place and being very attentive when called. We’d definitely love to stay again.

Cozy Christmas Beach Retreat

This home was equipped with everything we needed to make our Christmas Holiday complete! Such a cozy, clean and relaxing stay - loved being so close to walk to the beach with coffee in the morning. It was perfect for 3 of us - beds were very comfy - the backyard was a great layout for our son's dog to visit, he knew exactly where the "potty" area was. Definite 5 stars on the kitchen - very well stocked with anything we could possibly need. So convenient to downtown OB - love shops, restaurant's and the vibe. The Wednesday farmers market was awesome - huge! Complete with bongos and fire dancers! I can't wait to come back in warmer weather - so we could truly enjoy the back yard and front deck - and try some surfing! Parking out back was very convenient! Catrina and Jason were perfect hosts - very responsive. This home is a definite repeat on our list.
