OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
- This home has lots of character and NO A/C. We have ceiling fans, room fans, and the ocean breeze cools down the house quickly.
- Ocean Beach is near the airport flight path, and noise can be heard from time to time, so if you`re a light sleeper, you may want to bring earplugs. No refunds given for plane noise.

Great property!

We stayed at this property for a week with our two younger children, and loved the proximity to restaurants, the beach, tourist spots. The living space itself was also great - a lot of room for the kids to play and chill and the for the grown-ups to spend time together as well. Would definitely rent this property again if we ever visit San Diego again!

About the host

Hosted by Gabe Kubanda

Host profile image
Former touring musician, non-profit founder and small business owner, I value concise and timely communication, transparency, and am easy to get along with.
I also love good music, good food and traveling!
I honor VRBO policy to the letter, and expect our guests to hold the same high standards, so please review listings thoroughly and DM with any questions :)

Why they chose this property

Being able to walk one block to the Peoples Co-Op and get the best groceries, hit up Kaiserhoff for some authentic Bavarian food and brews, then saunter down to the beach for the most beautiful sunsets imaginable, you just can't beat it. And we're less than 5 minutes from Sea World ;)

What makes this property unique

I love this home, the 2 Tempurpedic King beds, dedicated office with external monitor, and the unique kitchen layout with 2 ovens and the private side yard with the lemon tree and grill, and outdoor dining capabilities
