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.

I was tiny and basic, as expected. Little adorable place and it was pretty clean. Able to walk everywhere, beach, bars, shops, etc... Bring 4.75 in quarters for each load and bring your own detergent. We washed our bedding first. Parking sucks but its OB, what do you expect? I come from San Diego and this was a really good deal considering the location.

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
