About this property

Sunny, Charming, Historic 2-Level Cottage-Patio/Yard-Blocks To Beaches/Shops-OB

Enjoy the vintage charm and venerable character of this beautiful & historic Ocean Beach cottage. This lovely 1920s Craftsman Style Bungalow located in the heart of Ocean Beach is a certified historical landmark and was one of the very first cottages built in OB! Updates have been done where needed but most everything is original. The house and lavishly landscaped property have been meticulously maintained and cared for. The house has two full levels including three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The upstairs/main level is complete with two bedrooms; one with a queen Sealy Posturepedic bed and the other with a full size. The bathroom has a large tub and shower available. There is a large living room with comfortable seating, bulit-in bookcases and a gas fireplace. The ample vintage kitchen with breakfast nook features a fully-functional 1940s Chambers gas stove for all of your cooking needs. Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of space for your food items. A large sink with garbage disposal aids in making cean-up a cinch. There is a mudroom between the kitchen and back deck for hanging coats and removing shoes. The lower level boasts a cozy studio complete with a sleeping area with a queen-sized bed, a pullout sleeper sofa, a kitchenette with a small dining table, and a full bathroom, below. Relax on the front porch, back deck, garden, or in one of the two separate patio areas complete with al fresco dining. Delight in a peaceful moment in the swing chairs hanging in the shade of the 50-year-old Japanese Red Pine tree while butterflies and hummingbirds flutter about. Or barbecue on the Weber gas grille surrounded by a gorgeous fenced-in yard with fruit trees, grapevines, native cacti, succulents, and other indigenous flora. Enjoy the convenience of the outdoor laundry area. The property is just blocks from several beaches including a local "secret" spot. Hit the shops and bars, grab brunch, or dine in one of the dozens of wonderful restaurants on and around Newport Ave. Stroll or take in the sunset on Ocean Beach Pier. And...don't forget to check out the OB Farmer's Market & Street Fair every Wednesday from 4:00-8:00 pm!

Great house and garden. Fun location!

This is a perfect spot for exploring Ocean Beach and the surrounding areas. Everything is walkable from the house. It was a nice size for my husband and I, 2 adult children and their partners. We had our privacy and peace in the lower studio with the kids on the main level. Nice furnishings and comfortable beds. There is lots of outdoor space too. Ocean beach has a large variety of restaurants and bars. Surfing lessons available too.

About the host

Hosted by Brenden Peck

Host profile image
I am a musician, entrepreneur, and property owner from the Boston area. I moved to San Diego six years ago and purchased this beautiful piece of property. I believe in taking care of myself and value fitness, hiking and outdoor excursions with my puppy, Lola. Whether it is landscaping or painting, I am always busy caring for and maintaining the property. It’s a continuous work in progress and I am constantly involved in one of several update projects. I take great pride and pleasure in providing a uniquely memorable and enjoyable experience for my guests. I also find it to be interesting and exciting meeting all of the different people who come through from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Ocean Beach, or “OB“ as the locals call it, is a truly unique place. It’s often considered one of the very last true California beach towns because of its laid-back, bohemian vibe, strong local community, and unique blend of surf culture, eclectic shops, and a more authentic, less touristy atmosphere compared to other beach areas in San Diego. OB is known for its relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere, attracting a diverse mix of residents, including surfers, artists, musicians, and those seeking a coastal haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Further, specific local ordinances have been put in place that prioritize community character, local businesses, and a relaxed, beach-oriented vibe, resisting the encroachment of large chains and maintaining its unique identity. You won’t find any high-rise luxury chain hotels blocking the view of the ocean here with a 30-foot height limit for buildings and structures. This height limit was established to preserve coastal access and differentiate San Diego's shoreline from other cities. Plus, it is centrally located with so many things to do and see whether it’s shopping, dining, drinking, dancing, fishing, boating, hiking, surfing, biking, sunbathing etc
