Charming OB beach condo, steps to the beach, listen to the waves crash

Our OB beach condo provides an ideal environment for families, couples or solo travelers. The living room/ kitchen area is a sophisticated yet comfortable space with ceramic tile, new hand scrapped wood flooring and granite counter tops. High-end furniture in earthy natural hues is accented with soft pillows; the couch pulls out into a king size bed and there is a twin Murphy bed to add additional sleeping options. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the window faces the ocean. You can hear the waves crash all night long— there is also a small seating area in the bedroom which is a perfect spot for coffee and a good book. There is one full bathroom, with hooks for hanging soft, thirsty towels. Additional beach towels, toys, and a cooler bag are provided in the wardrobe. Plan on preparing meals or snacks in a fully equipped kitchen that includes stainless steel appliances, a microwave, blender, coffee maker and more. The dining nook has a banquette an chairs around a solid marble table. We recently installed two split A/C units that also have a dehumidifier feature to keep our guests comfortable year round.
Shops, restaurants, and bars are within 2 blocks, including the famous Hodad's for burgers, and South Beach Bar & Grill for fish tacos. A great Farmer's Market happens every Wednesday afternoon. There is a pier for fishing or to stroll along, and a cafe at the end. There is a leash-free dog beach 7 blocks away.
Ocean Beach is a funky little unpretentious town, with colorful locals. This is the perfect spot to experience San Diego without any stress. It is a one of a kind, relaxed, non-touristy community. We are a 10 minute drive from San Diego International Airport and Sea World, 15 minutes from Downtown San Diego and the SD Zoo.

Everything you could possibly need was provided. The location to the beach is awesome. Sad that the pier was closed. We could hear the ocean waves at night with the bedroom window open. We are planning a return trip next year.

My experience was top notch. Condo was very clean with everything I needed. I could have cooked and served an entire meal if needed. No cheap TP :) (true mark of quality and host that cares). Bed comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Coffee shop across street, walkable neighborhood with excellent restaurants. My experience was A+!!!!

Great location, nice place to stay!

We were there for 3 nights. It was a perfect location, very close to sunset cliffs, and to lots of shops/restaurants. The bed was comfortable, and everything was nice in the place. They had drinks in the fridge, a bottle of wine and chocolate on the table when we entered. It was perfect for our quick trip to San Diego! we would be willing to stay here again if we are in the area again!

Loved this place!

What an amazing place to stay. Really lovey. Very safe. Extremely clean. Right by the beach and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Very short drive to other things to do and see as well. You can’t go wrong with this one. Ocean Beach is an old beach town so if you’re looking for fancy this is not it. Personally I don’t need fancy.

First visit to San Diego and it didn’t disappoint. Ocean Beach is unique and filled with all walks of life but enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and surrounding areas! The condo was clean and very comfortable. No complaints!

Coming Home

OB native bringing son home for a visit during his Fall Break. Great location super close to everything but out of the way enough from the super partying. Plenty of amenities in the unit and complex was very quiet. One parking space was small so anything larger than a small suv will have some challenges. Will definitely look to stay there again when I come home for a visit.

Ocean Beach Ease

The apartment was so close to the Ocean Beach Pier that it felt like it was in my front yard and yet inside the unit it was quiet and peaceful. A one bedroom sounds small but the way that the furniture and rooms are appointed it feels like a three bedroom. Anything that you might need to have fun at the beach and at the place were available. To be able to enjoy Ocean Beach so easily is a true gift!

Getaway to OB

My wife, teen daughter and I flew into San Diego and were excited to stay close to Ocean Beach. Great restaurants, coffee, ice cream nearby so we could walk a few minutes there. We had rented a car and the property parking was clean and easily accessible. This property was very well stocked and clean. Beds and couches were comfortable and we had plenty of blankets/bedding/pillows to make our relaxing time perfect. Streaming TV and updated appliances were great! We enjoyed our stay on this property and would surely stay there again.

Ocean Beach

The condo was great. The location was convenient to everything. We spent time in La Jolla, the zoo and Coronado Island and never spent more than 20-30 minutes in the car to our destination. The only issue we had was the AC and dishwasher were out of commission. Neither had an impact on our stay and Janet was very to communicate with and alerted us to the AC before we arrived (even offering to fully refund if we preferred!). Overall, we had a great stay in OB!

Thankful

Our stay was wonderful, the property was clean and easy access to the beach, bike trails, and restaurants too. We had a little issue with the smoke alarm. Anything we cooked seemed to set it off, calling the owner and using the fan when cooking helped. She said it will be replaced. Other than that it was a wonderful place, would go back again

Get Back

This property is at ground zero of Ocean Beach - an ocean-side town that has a definite “get back” beach vibe. You are literally surrounded by great local restaurants - think fish tacos, hamburgers ceviche and margaritas). The property is within steps of the beach - but not an “umbrella bring the grandchildren beach” that you would find at a resort. The property is great for 2 - enough said. Parking included, but make sure you have a reasonable size car ( i.e., not a Ford F-150). We loved it - but we had been to San Diego before and we were just looking to kick back (although we did hike Torrey Pines). Make sure you stroll up to Sunset Beach Cliffs - about a mile and 1/2).

Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ocean Beach. The condo itself was accurately described. One bedroom is all we needed. It was clean and had everything you needed to spend some days at the beach. Having air conditioning and the washer/dryer were great amenities and made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is central to everything around San Diego so a great place to make home base. The location is close to very good restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and shopping. Loved all the locals frequenting the establishments as opposed to being overrun with tourists. We were torn between places in Mission Beach and Ocean Beach. Glad we picked Ocean Beach. You can't go wrong with Janet's place. She was super friendly and a great communicator. We were there during some bad weather and had trouble getting out of San Diego. She was great as we figured things out. May have to go back and continue an extended Ocean Beach stay in the future!

Unbeatable Location

Pulling up to the outside of the building, I wasn't impressed, but once inside, the condo was as described. Just a couple of houses from the pier or a block down to the beach was a perfect location. Having a closet with all of the beach amenities was so convenient and helpful. There were several restaurants at the other end of the block (Bar 1502 was a favorite) or a couple of blocks away (Breakfast Republic also great) so no car necessary. Unfortunately, there were some homeless men living out in front at the edge of the pier that would yell at us when walking by to where I didn't feel comfortable with my daughter and I walking by without my husband and did put a bit of a damper on things. Not the fault of the condo but does impact the experience. Janet super quick to respond and pleasant to work with.

Great place to stay

Great location. Beach just a house away. Loved being able to walk to lots of restaurants. Forgot about the planes going overhead , but got used to them. The tub area needed a little Clorox. But everything else was very nice. Lots of towels and bedding. Especially glad to have a designated parking spot.
