It was great, had just about everything we needed and was quiet and private with close access to all kinds of activities. Check in was easy, kitchen was lightly stocked but complete.
I enjoyed the stay nice and close to the ocean. It doesnât really matter to me, but there were two windows that were open when I got there and they were big enough for somebody to crawl through if they wanted to break in not that thatâs a giant problem, but I wouldnât want anybody climbing in and just squatting in my property either
The cottage was overall clean and had all we needed to cook and be comfortable. The decor is cute and beachy. The bed and couch bed were comfortable. There were nice towels and beach towels provided. The location canât be beat! Itâs one block from the beach and there are great restaurants within walking distance. This is mentioned in the other reviews, and not the fault of the property owner, but itâs worth noting that the airport flight path is above the house. If youâre looking for a quiet beach get away, this is something to be aware of. OB is under the path, so even when at the beach, you hear planes. Other than that, this is a quaint cozy cottage. It has an ac that works well and ceiling fans.
Over all the stay and property was in a great location and very clean the only down fall was the parking spot was not able to be used due to the fact that the parking next to us and across from us have trucks and suvs so they are half way in the middle of the driving way of the alley and we couldnât park there except for the first night when no one was park there other then that we had to find a parking spot a block away from the house and walk which was not horrible but if the reason you picked that place was to make sure you had parking so you didnât have to hunt for a spot it defeats the purpose but other then that the place was good and also the location right by the beach
The home was small (but accurately mentioned in listing) designed wonderful to feel cozy and spacious. The location was walkable to restaurants, the beach and plenty of shops. It was clean and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. With a privacy fence inclosing 4 units it felt very safe and secluded from the street. I would note the parking was extremely tight and anything larger than a small SUV would not have fit (but very standard for this neighborhood and a big plus having a designated space)
Cute place with basic needs. I was in San Diego for a conference so really just needed a place to lay my head. The lockbox was difficult to open and I was never able to get it back on. Did have various communication with the owner and she was great. Maybe ask if the lockbox has been changed as that was a challenge.
What a wonderful little bungalow!! Itâs literally a block from the beach! Loved having a designated parking space, along with a little hose for washing off the sand. Loved sitting outside with coffee in the morning - what a gem!
Overall it was a really nice stay. It is a really quick walk to dog beach. The property is a decent size. There wasn't extra betting for the living room pull out so that was a little difficult. Also, it is really convenient to have a parking space, but it is snug! Everyone was really nice and I felt comfortable and safe. The kitchenware was also limited, maybe want to bring your own things for the oven. I really like to cook, so it was a little limited. Otherwise lovely and convenient.
It was sweet and perfect. Clean and had everything we needed. We wanted a place close to the beach and shops and this fit that to a âTâ. We were able to walk everyday and explore the area. It was close to the freeway and easy to find (in the daylight). We would definitely return again.
My sister and I stayed here for four nights. Great location! Easy to find. Cute place with everything we needed. Full kitchen. Easy walk to the beach! Hot water! Nice towels!
We felt safe here!
Donât let the pictures fool you. This place is perfect. Easy check in and out. Great location and neighborhood plus parking! I loved staying here with my small dog and husband.
The listing was accurate enough though I'm glad it was just my dad and brother, who were able to shrug off things that many people might find off-putting in terms of cleanliness and amenities. It's definitely more value for the location than the place itself, but it did the job.
- no A/C meant the first several hours were quite hot, trying to air things out.
- Broken shower faucet
- several things in disrepair
Proximity to the beach and OB area definitely the major plusses!
Cute little one bedroom cottage walking distance from everything OB has to offer. The cottage was clean enough and listing was accurate. Parking was tight but definitely better than parallel parking.
