Great stay in OB!

We rented this cute little cottage for a short visit to OB. Walking distance to Newport Ave, Sunset Cliffs, and the beaches, it was exactly what we needed. The place is in very good condition and well maintained. The owner was great with communication too. Thanks!

This bungalow is adorable and in a cute neighborhood. The weather was amazing and we we're able to walk to the beaches and downtown area of ocean beach. Easy to also drive to downtown SD. It was a quick trip, but definitely would book again :)

Beach house perfection

The house is perfectly located and just walking distance to town. Perfectly decorated and spotless. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The garden is spectacular and a wonderful place to gather. The host was responsive and gave great recommendations for local food and activities. We loved our stay at this special and happy little beach house and will return.

Fabulous stay!

My 2 kids (6 & 11) stayed at this lovely cottage for 5 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The vottage is perfectly located in OB, away from the bustle of the main drag, but walking distance to the cliffs and some good food. It served as our home base while we explored San Diego. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and the garden was a lovely place to spend time drinking coffee and reading. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cozy and comfortable cottage near the cliffs

We stayed for a week at this lovely gem of a cottage. Perfect location a short walk from the ocean with fantastic views from the cliffs and bohemian Ocean Beach. We spent several evenings just relaxing and enjoying the view from the porch and living room. Fully equipped with everything you might need including all kitchen utensils. Highly recommended!
