Wonderful stay!

This was our second stay at this propeety. Its a beautiful older house with some of the quarks you would expect. Its a short walk to Ocean Beach, which is a huge bonus. We were able to park right in front of the property majority of the time. Attractions are close by and easy to get to. Gabe is a wonderful host and very helpful. If another SD trip comes up, we would book again.

Absolutely perfect for us!

This property was everything our group of 4 needed and more! Beautifully and elegantly decorated, modern appliances, perfect living space, personal space, and so much more. We were close to everything we wanted to do. We walked to some fantastic restaurants, rode scooters to the around the neighborhood , and was within 10 minutes driving distance to mission beach, and 3 minutes to ocean beach pier. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Great beach town get away

The house is adorable, and loved the location to everything that Ocean Beach and San Diego had to offer. Host was very prompt in responding and helping us out. Being a historical home means no screens on the windows, which threw us at first, but there were surprisingly no issues with bugs. Parking on the street is tight, so be prepared with that. But we made it work and so much is in walking distance it wasn't an issue.

Worth it!

We stayed at the lotus lodge and it was a great experience! Gabe was great at communicating and answered questions promptly (and I had many). Having access to the private patio was lovely every day for both remote work change of scenery and just hanging out with friends. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable! There are some older bikes that were available to use that made a quick trip of morning rides to the beach! I would definitely recommend it to others.

The property was in great shape and looked great! The are 2 king beds and a large couch. My 16yr old slept on an air mattress that he said was comfortable. Big kitchen with double ovens, microwave, dishwasher, toaster oven and a big fridge. Laundry machines were newer and large capacity. Backyard had a great area for 5 around a gas fire pit and a table with seating for 4. Overall this was a great place with lots to do in the immediate area! We will be coming back! *****

Spacious and well maintained

Ocean beach location convenient to many adventures. It was not clear there would be a tenant on the property grounds in the listing. It did not interfere with our stay but transparency always better than being surprised. We used all the special additions including bicycles, hot tub, beach towels and laundry machines. The yard could use some TLC but would take a nice interior over well maintained yard if had to choose. Overall the service was superior!

Nice Stay at Lotus Lodge

The Lotus Lodge is really cute. The kitchen is definitely the highlight, and the beds are super comfortable. Gabe was also really helpful and responsive. A couple of notes—it’s not clear from the listing that two other dwellings are located on the property. Also, the hot tub isn’t in the area around the house. So if you were to use it, it’d feel like you were hanging out in the other resident’s front yard. More importantly, if you’re a light sleeper, you will be bothered by the planes. This neighborhood is directly in the flight path for the airport. Finally, the check out at 10 am is aggressive. For how much you’re paying for the place, you should be allowed to stay until 11.

Super cute well appointed very spacious house

I vacation quite a bit in SD and was very happy with this rental, Not only is it in a great location and is with in walking distance to some great coffee as well as OB Noodle House. It has everything you could possibly need in the very spacious kitchen it has every conceivable small appliance you may need, everything is new and very well taken care of. We were 3 women staying there and it felt like a very safe neighborhood, and there was always parking on the street out front. Now let's talk about the beds... They were extremely comfortable and the bamboo sheets were that of some luxury 5 star hotels so for me it is 5 stars on the beds and linens for sure. The only reason for the 4 out of 5 overall is because it is advertised as having a hot tub and it does only it is behind the house in kind of a common area with the 1/2 renter in the house back there so as a group of girls we were not comfortable going to use it. I would 100% rent this place again.
