This is a such a carefully curated Ocean Beach home! You can hear the surf from inside and out; the house is clean, comfortable and charming; the outside spaces allow for rest, relaxation and socializing. We can’t say enough good things about this property and the helpful and accessible owner/manager, Rachel. We look forward to coming back!

I can't overstate what an excellent stay this property provided. This is an impeccably clean, comfortable, and relaxing little dollhouse. It's better than the pictures. The location is close (few blocks) to beach/restaruant/bar/other activities but far enough away for quiet evenings on your own. The beds and furnishings inside are very comfortable and the outside spaces are very well maintained. I strongly recommend this property without hesitation.

Lovely cottage- extremely tidy with everything we needed. Outdoor areas are wonderful. Front porch sitting area provides a nice view of the ocean- just right for sunset. Property is a short walk to sunset cliffs.

The house is always super clean which makes it more relaxing to not feel like I need to clean before relaxing! The decor is great and the house is very cozy. The front deck is our favorite place to hang out and drink coffee in the mornings. There is a spacious and well landscaped backyard with a hot tub. It is located close to necessities and is relatively easy to get into downtown and all the tourist attractions. We love this property!

A wonderful stay!

My husband and I have stayed at the Colorful Coastal Cottage quite a few times over the past 4 years. We love it for its comfort, charm, location, amenities and more. Rachel is an excellent host. We highly recommend it for a stay in the Ocean Beach area.

The cottage was all we hoped for and more. Not sure the photos even do it justice, absolutely charming. The owners have thought of everything and it was a wonderful place to settle in for two months. Would highly recommend.

A Great Stay at the Cottage!

Our family has stayed at the cottage several times and we love it. Rachel is a great host, and the cottage is lovely, comfortable and clean with a beautiful garden, hot tub, laundry, beach items, and ample supplies. We watched the sunsets from the front terrace and walked into OB center or along Sunset Cliffs every day. We highly recommend staying here!

Heaven

We've stayed here twice. Its clean, cozy but spacious, in a great spot to sight-see at all the local attractions and has a view of the ocean from the front deck. The property feels secure with locking gates in the front and back of the property. I love staying here!
