About this property

Beach Bungalow, Free Parking, 2 blocks to the beach

Find your Groove in Ocean Beach
Just north of Point Loma, this small beach town is a favorite among locals for its blissful mix of activities and pastimes, including surfing, sunbathing near the pier and strolling among the many surf shops, taco stands and unique local boutiques. Ocean Beach boasts a throwback vibe of vintage SoCal, coupled with friendly locals, great dining and microbrews, and a vibrant nightlife scene.

WHERE TO GO
The Pier at the foot of Newport Avenue is one of the longest piers in Southern California, extending a half mile out to sea. The Ocean Beach Pier is one of the few places in San Diego where you can fish without a valid California fishing license. It is now fully reopened after extensive repairs due to storm and wave damage.
Dog Beach is wedged between the Mission Bay Harbor Channel and the jetty at the north end of Ocean Beach. Here, pets are not only allowed on the beach, but are permitted to play leash-free with other canine beach-lovers.

This shabby Chic bungalow is walking distance to the beach, boardwalk and downtown shops , eating. Great outdoor space for BBQ and enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Free on site parking included.

Not worth your money

If you don’t mind the smell of moisture mold, this place is for you. Our first impression walking in was disgust, but being that we wanted to enjoy our vacation we put the thought to the side and sucked it up. The bathroom smelt very strongly of bleach and once that smell wore off it smelt close to a public restroom. Our stay was 7 nights long. We noticed we were only given two wash cloths, but being that we saw a description of laundry facilities we figured we would just wash them. Messaged the host to ask where the dryer and laundry facilities were that were listed, she said dryer means hair dryer and she wasn’t aware the details listed laundry facilities. I expressed my concern about only having two wash cloths for a 7 day trip and no response from the host. Took it to VRBO and no help there either. We also mentioned the mold smell. After that, the host quit responding all together so we went to the dollar store and bought our own washcloths and had to take time out of our vacation to wash clothes at a laundromat. All in all, not what we signed up for. On our way home we received a message from the host, which seemed to be automated. Still no apology for the inconvenience, just asked us to leave a 5 star review if we enjoyed our stay and explaining how even a 4 star review can hurt their image. I was honestly shocked being that they offered absolutely no help to us at all during our stay.

Weather Beaten

It's OB so it's funky, fun and the place has a certain je ne sais quoi. The beds are great, the shower/bathroom is good (need more places to put toiletries), the kitchen is cozy but has all the things you need except a frying pan and it really needs a standard coffee pot. They only have Netflix so if you want to watch anything else on TV I guess you better stream on your devices. The "living room" sofa is tiny, uncomfortable and barely fits two people. I would replace it with two small comfy chairs and get rid of one of the small tables and provide a blow-up mattress.But the location is great and the fact that you have your own parking spot is worth everything - awesome! You can walk to Dog Beach, coffee shops and fun restaurants/shops. It's close to freeway entrances and major streets to explore other parts of San Diego.

San Diego weekend

This was a nice property but there was only a space heater and little in the way of air circulation. With the recent CA fires, the air was my only complaint. Poor timing on our part I suppose. Would stay again however.

I was told by the property manager that there is a power issue and will be resolved by checking in. But it was never resolved. My family had to spend three nights with no TV, no stable wifi connection, and no ceiling lights. I was very disappointed about unresponsive property manager. Bed is good as the photo shows, but room is not blight as the photo shows. There are films of butterflies attached on the ceiling window blocking sunlight. Bathroom stinks. Neighborhood seems a bit unsafe, may not be good for family with small children.

A bit misleading

Blue seat is only wide enough for 2 adults to squeeze into. When unfolded, extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. Felt like I was sleeping on a plank of wood. May work for a very young Child but we were 3 adult women. No toaster, And no rack in oven so couldn’t use that as alternative to toast bread.

Small, Smelly and Hot

The house was much smaller than advertised, it said it would fit 5 people ( event though the permit hanging on the wall said 4) and I would reasonably say 5 could sleep there but 2 could actually function in the space. The floor also had gaps in the floor boards we kept tripping on. The house also had no A/C, which would have been fine even on 80 degree days, but there was only one small window in the living space so there was no air flow unless you kept the front door wide open, which then only helped a little because the. layout of the house was not set up for this - and because the window was open 24/7 the house constantly smelled like weed and dog pee from outside. It was a very inconvenient house for a family as there was no where to sit inside expect for the beds and the couch made for 1-2 and the WIFI never did work, which wasn't a big deal. The owner did respond in a reasonable time frame, but there wasn't much to be done with that. I have stayed in California many times and never had an issue, but this was miserable for a family home.

We walked out within 30 mins

This unit does not fit the definition of a house unless you define a house as one that shares two walls with two other units. The noise created from the two other units is easily heard, one of those units is occupied by a resident who has a dog that barks. The other unit is luck-of-the-draw on who is staying there that night. We happened to get one with an infant that was crying when we showed up in the evening ready for bed. I don't fault the parents, I fault the hosts of this unit for trying to stretch the definition of what a house is. VRBO allows us to use “Property Type” filters when searching for a place. I always filter out apartments, condos, and cottages so I can avoid the experience that just happened. If you use the “House” filter on VRBO then this place pulls up. If you only use the “Apartment”, “Condo”, and/or “Cottage” filter then this place does NOT pull up. This place SHOULD NOT BE CATEGORIZED AS A HOUSE and when I suggested this to the host I was meet with argumentative statements that the listing is exactly as described and is a “beach bungalow” as if VRBO has a beach bungalow filter. They even have a placard right next to the door that says to be respectful of the other neighbors in the “apartment”..whoops! No way the futon is a twin as listed and probably would not fit anyone over the age of 8. The floor is peeling from the subfloor and the subfloor is uneven with every step. The host showed no care for my concerns and took a "sucks to be you attitude"

Duped and Disappointed…

Photos on the app looked nice, however when we walked into the cottage, we said, “this can’t be the right place!” The place was dark and dingy. The floor was slanted with separation in the floorboards (potential tripping hazard).The skylights were filthy with strange butterfly decals which did not allow adequate lighting. The bathroom lighting was also dim and we found mold on the walls outside the shower. We immediately decided not to stay at this cottage and had to book another place to stay. We reached out to VBRO and the host to voice our concerns. The host thought she could fix our concerns with a cleaning crew. Our concerns went beyond the cleanliness and included safety and lighting issues. In short the photos and description did not match the reality of the cottage. We were hoping Rebeccah would work with us but instead she chose not to. We have visited the beaches in this area for over ten years and have never been so disappointed.

Short Getaway

We spent most of our time out exploring the area and enjoying the beach which was a very quick walk from the property. There was also a great coffee shop near by which we enjoyed. The property was what we were looking for as it gave us a safe place to sleep and was close to many different restaurants, shops, and the beach.

Not What I Was Expecting

The cons outweigh the pros unfortunately with my recent visit. We were within walking distance to the beach and restaurants/nightlife, however this aspect is the only positive from my experience. The unit itself has two sky lights that were poorly installed, as they leaked water all over our beds and the floor which my daughter slipped and fell hard due to. The subfloor in the unit was also in poor shape as it wasn't flat and had a very noticeable slope to it (if you've ever experienced what vertigo feels like walk around in here and you'll get a first-hand experience). Bathroom door was warped so bad that it wouldn't shut. Flooring was literally separating at the seams and were tripping hazards (or cut hazards if you weren't wearing shoes). Beds were uncomfortable. You're better off finding a cheap hotel/motel.
