Our cozy apartment is one and a half blocks from the beach. There is a small front yard, a completely furnished deck with a barbecue grill, patio table, chairs and umbrella. Inside is tile and hardwood flooring. We also have board games and beach toys for the kids Before we start telling you about about how great our property is, we want you to know about two negative things right up front so you won't waste your time if they are deal-killers for you. The first being, that we are near the airport flight path and there will be considerable plane noise throughout the day. By law, the planes must stop running after 10pm, but there have been rare occasions that a plane will fly over anyway and pay the fine. Most people who stay here say they get used to it fairly quickly but if you are sensitive to noise or just looking for a quiet space, alas, this is not for you. Secondly, we do not have off-street parking available. There is free street parking but understand that being a block from the beach can sometimes make it difficult. In the daytime, it's usually easy to find parking right out front, but as it gets later toward the evening, when people start coming home from work, it becomes more difficult. You'll always find a space, but you might need to widen your search perimeter. The good news is that there is soooo much in walking distance (restaurants, bars, dog beach, ocean beach, markets, shops, The Farmer's Market etc.) and a ton of attractions that are a cheap Uber ride away (Sea World, SD Zoo, Gaslamp, Belmont Park, Mission Beach and other beaches to name a few.) NOTE: Only one pet per rental please. Other than that, we are a: Pet / Dog Friendly Neighborhood Pet / Dog Friendly Yard Pet / Dog Friendly Owner Pet / Dog Friendly beach nearby No pet charges or pet fees Free Pet vacation rental PLEASE NOTE: One of the residents of the property has a very friendly dog named Frankie. She is not aggressive, or in any way mean, but can be a bit yappy when a new guest arrives. We just want you to be aware in case anyone in your group has an issue with dogs but rest assured, she is a sweetheart and just excited to meet new people. And now the good stuff . . . Ocean beach is an authentic, ocean-front community with an eclectic, intimate character that is revered by travelers from around the world. It is a perfect destination for families, couples, singles, surfers, boaters, explorers - people with active lifestyles or people who just want to relax on the beach. Everything San Diego has to offer is virtually at your doorstep. OR, spend the day at home. Read the morning paper on the deck with a cup of coffee, barbecue steaks at dinner time on the patio, or just lounge with a cold beer by the firepit after an invigorating day at the beach. Amenities include indoor and outdoor furniture, fully-equipped kitchen, tv/dvd, stereo, wifi internet, bath towels, beach towels, hair dryer, linens, pillows, blankets - all the comforts of home. We are a small, family-owned operation. Like you, we love to travel and we know what it means to provide quality customer service. For the duration of your stay, we will be available all hours for all your needs. Just check the reviews and you won't find a single bad one. Attractions within walking distance 1) Pacific Ocean – forget the car! Just walk to the beach in 5 minutes. 2) SAN DIEGO RIVER TRAIL - Beginning at the Ocean, and only a block or so from the bungalow, The San Diego River trail is excellent for wildlife viewing; bird watchers from all over the county come to snap pictures, and get good sightings and light for an array of wildlife. Fish are always jumping, eagles and hawks are often flying with live catches in their talons or beaks, and the tides make sure the visit is never the same twice. 3) Robb Field – is a huge park and recreation complex with multiple tennis, basketball and handball court. It also has a fitness gym, lighted softball and multi-purpose fields, playground area for kids, and acres of wide open grass with picnic tables and shade trees. 5) Robb Skateboard Park – is a recently-built, 40 thousand square foot, state-of-the-art skate park. 6) Main Street Ocean Beach (Newport Avenue) – stroll along antique row or shop in any of the dozens of mom-n-pop retail stores. Roam the farmers market and street fair every Wednesday afternoon. Afterward have lunch, or an adult beverage, at one of the many restaurants, nightclubs and neighborhood bars. 7) Ocean Beach Pier – is the second longest pier in California. It’s an amazing, panoramic location from which to drop a fishing line (no license needed), take a romantic stroll, or grab a burger and a beer at the OB Pier Café. 8) The Tide Pools of Sunset Cliffs – stroll along the stunning, striated sunset cliffs of the pacific ocean. This is one of the most beautiful locations in the world, named after its amazing sunsets. Take a leisurely stroll down to sea level and explore the magic and the mystery of the tide pools at low tide. 9) Bird Watching at the Famosa Slough – birdwatchers come from around the world to see the many different, exotic birds that inhabit this 37-acre wetland, including, osprey, snowy egrets, pelicans, ducks, sandpipers in the estuary black-necked stilts, avocets, kingfisher, forster's tern, and great egret. Walk or bike on the path that circumnavigates the slough. Attractions within driving distance 10 minutes – is all the driving time you need to visit Sea World, Seaport Village, historic Old Town, downtown San Diego and the historic Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego Convention Center, Little Italy, maritime museums, Petco Park (SD Padres stadium), and San Diego’s main airport, Lindbergh field. 20 minutes – to San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and museums, Torrey Pines golf course, five outdoor shopping malls, Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego Chargers), Coronado Island and the Historic Hotel Del Coronado, Cabrillo National monument and lighthouse. 30 minutes - to Tijuana and the Mexico border, Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds, several gaming casinos, Legoland, etc. As you can see, there is so much to see and do within a close distance of our vacation units you probably won't be able to do it all in once visit. Which is why we want you to come back. Best!

It is easiest to unload in the alley, then park on the street. If you come in the front gate, there are stairs/various levels to go up and down. Easy walk to beach, Robb Athletic Field, shops, restaurants, etc. Loved the fenced grassy area for my 3 year old grand daughter to play safely. Used the nice gas BBQ and outdoor seating multiple times. We walked a lot, and we visited a couple places nearby. Overall a really good trip and nice property. Owner is very responsive which is great. We had a great time. ##### Cleala K.

We walked down town to shop and eat. The beach was so much fun to walk and explore and the sunsets where wonderful. And at the places we went to visit doing the week, where just a few minutes away, so we did not have to go very far to explore San Diego. We all enjoyed our stay and I Loved the private outdoor sitting area, a great place to enjoy the morning coffee and the evenings with the family. Just know the parking can be a challenge in San Diego, so allow extra time when you are going to the places around San Diego on your visit. ##### Dara C.

He was nice to deal with. had a washer dryer available right next door as part of the units. parking was a little tough on some days but we were always able to find a place. it was a nice little house. only one problem, the airplanes fly over the house.from 11 pm to 6;30 the planes stop but the noise wasn't too bad, could be tolerated unless you are a bad sleeper. no AC It's an older place but if I were to visit SD, I might return. ##### SUSAN M. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dan k. 15 Feb 2019 #### WOW! Great place, great people, great area, great host! I could not be happier about my experience here. I just completed a monthly rental for me and my pup, and this exceeded all expectations. The property is located a few blocks away from bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, and the beach! The unit is located in the courtyard behind two nice-looking cottages, with a nice white picket fence in front. The place was safe, clean, and very easy to get in and out of. If you're bringing your dog, there's no better spot. Dog beach is only a 10 minute walk, and most of the bars are dog friendly. The two neighbors are longer-term renters, and were some of the most pleasant people I've ever been around. Their dogs also made for great playmates for my own. The owner (Ed) has thought of everything when remodeling the unit - for instance, the place is stocked with pillows, blankets, pots, pans, board games, a vacuum, and lots of towels. Ed was also very accessible, and came quickly when we had an issue with a heater and a towel rack falling. Did I mention there's a laundry room directly behind the unit? That's pretty hard to find. Overall, loved the place. I actually think the pictures undersell it, too. You'll love it here! ##### dan k.

The cottage was well-appointed, with all the beach and house necessities you'd want, and the place was clean and Ed was easy to work with. A few things to be aware of: San Diego airport is only about a 10 minute drive from the house, and the path of the jets as they take off takes them right over the house. While my family sleeps pretty heavily, we were all woken up the first morning and noticed it every day after that. If you're a light sleeper, definitely bring ear plugs. The other issue we had was parking - if you are not able to reserve one of the parking spots for the unit, be aware that street parking is really challenging on weekends and evenings, and that the signs marking street sweeping and no parking are not easy to see. As long as you're good with these small things, you'll have a great trip to SD in this house! ##### Marnie W.

We could not have been more pleased with this VRBO. It was exactly as described. Great location. Comfortable bed. We cooked a lot of our meals and we had everything we needed to do so (pots, pans, dishes, etc.) Ed responds immediately to texts (although we didn’t text much - as we didn’t need anything…) We would definitely stay here again! ##### Roberta W.

It was very clean, comfortable, kid friendly, and in a great location in a safe neighborhood. The beach is a 5 minute walk away, with many shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The outside yard and BBQ area was great for relaxing after a day at the beach. Ed was super nice and quickly responded to any questions I had. I look forward to staying here again for my next trip to San Diego! ##### Brenda M.

The owner Ed was extremely easy to work with during our stay. The place was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, krueig, etc. It was exceptionally warm at the time of our visit but we were supplied plenty of fans. We never had a problem parking near the property. Would recommend! ##### Mary E.

Such an incredible location to the beach and fun shops and restaurants. Ed was super easy to work with, very responsive. The place has everything you need. The neighborhood is really chill and laid back, just like the place. Parking really wasn’t that difficult. We had an incredible visit to San Diego with our 2 boys and being able to stay here was a large part of why. Thanks so much, Ed!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassie S. 16 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place by the beach Clean place with everything we needed.

The property is definitely a beach house in an old surf town. Charming, local and cozy. There are certainly more fancy and ritzier places to stay in surrounding areas but this Property is about a 6 minute walk from front door to feet on the sand. It’s also a great base camp to beach hop to the many other beaches surrounding the area. Ed was great and communicated well from soup to nuts! ##### Tyson F. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ---
