About this property

1 block from ocean - stylish & cozy beach cottage in funky Ocean Beach!

☀️ Location, location, location - this cottage is located 1 block from the beach in funky, laidback Ocean Beach!

🍕 5-minute walk from the OB pier and downtown OB, which is full of dive bars, pubs, shops and restaurants.

🌊 Minutes by car from SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, downtown San Diego, the airport and more!

⛱️ Fully equipped with beach towels, beach chairs and beach umbrella, too!

✅ EASY, 24/7 self check-in with smart lock.

🅿️ 1 assigned off-street parking spot.

The space

🛌 The space is a cozy 1-bedroom cottage (364-square feet) with a comfy queen bed.

👥 Whilst it's best for 2 people, it does also come with a futon and can fit up to 4 guests if you don't mind being in each other's space!

👩‍🍳 The open kitchen includes a gas range, microwave and toaster.

☕️ A Keurig coffee machine and an initial supply of coffee pods, tea and other essentials provided, too!

✅ You'll be close enough for ocean breezes, but the place does come with a mini-split heating and cooling system.

🖥️ High-speed internet and smart TV with 85+ channels (YouTube TV subscription) included.

🌳 Amazing central location; you can walk 1 block to the beach, jump on the freeway and be near all of San Diego's attractions in minutes (Mission Bay, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, SeaWorld and more).

🍎 OB Farmer's Market is every Wednesday from 4-8pm where you'll find live music, street food, art and fresh produce.

Guest access

🔒 Guests will benefit from contactless, 24/7 self check-in via smart lock.

Other things to note

🅿️ The off-street parking space is on the smaller side and located in the alley behind Brighton Avenue; please note that large SUVs may have difficulty maneuvering in.

👥 It's also part of a friendly community that includes 3 other cottages; however, worth noting that we cannot control noise from nearby neighbors, pets or airplane traffic (all of Ocean Beach is in the flight path).

🧺 There is no laundry in the property, but Wonderland Coin Laundry is a only a 4-minute walk away.

We were checking in our son to Point Loma Nazarene University. This location was less than a 15 minute drive to the campus. Perfect location to walk to the beach each morning to get coffee, eat at great restaurants and then watch the sunset each night.
The beach is only a block away!

Wonderful stay

It was a wonderful stay at this nice little place. Had everything that I need and within walking distance to where I wanted to go. It was quiet for most of the night until 4:30 in the morning when the planes started to take off from the airport. Overall this is a very nice place for a couple to stay for a few nights.

Perfect weekend getaway

This place was cute, clean and perfectly located. My daughter and I were able to walk the beach whenever we wanted and were close to restaurants and bars. It was a 20 minute drive to our concert venue and 5 minute drive to restaurants we wanted to check out while here Hopefully we will have a chance to stay here again

Perfect location near all our activities!

This is a beautiful little beach cottage situated just 2 1/2 blocks from a lovely beach! It was easy to check in and the neighborhood was quiet with the exception of airplanes which we easily drown out by leaving the bathroom fan on! We visited the zoo, Balboa Park museums, Point Loma Tide Pools , Cabrillo National Monument, and of course, the beach! My only complaint is that our stay was too short!

Great Spot for a Single or Couple

Perfect size for a single or couple looking for a space to stay in SD. In a beach neighborhood so parking can get tight in the designated spot, but its a quick walk to the beach or storefronts. Good location to travel to other areas in downtown SD.

We had a great stay at Ocean Beach. The cottage is close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. It's set back a bit from a quiet street so we had no problem with noise (other than the planes! Nothing you can do about that!). We would definitely stay here again.
