About this property

1 block from the beach, family friendly, w/ private backyard & air conditioning

**We are no longer offering modifications to our cancellation policy due to covid-19 so please review our terms and let us know if you have any questions.**

**We are not yet accepting reservations for 2025.**

This modernized, air conditioned, non-smoking, family friendly beach cottage, is part of a well maintained duplex. It's located in the prime, centrally located town of Ocean Beach, San Diego.

The property is well managed and maintained by the owners who occupy the adjacent duplex unit (we share a wall as well as backyard fence), so you can rest assured you are the sole guest allowing for rest, relaxation, and fun.

Our rental unit is ideal for those vacationers and families seeking a place to retreat for relaxation after a day at the beach. We encourage all potential guests to consider what it is they want out of their precious vacation time and make sure that this quieter, non-partying location is a good fit.

We allow up to 2 medium sized dogs with an additional $75 pet fee, but please keep in mind that even the best behaved dogs can act differently in a new environment. They will miss you when you are gone and may bark and howl more than they do at your home. If you intend to spend most of the trip without your dog, please consider if it is a good idea to bring your dog as they cannot be left alone for more than 2 hours. Dogs also cannot be left outside unattended at any time. We live here and have dogs ourselves. We expect that barking is curtailed quickly as we will do the same with ours. Please let us know when you book/submit a request if you would like to bring your dog(s) along.

For our guests who work remotely the home has: Gigabit Ethernet Switch (located behind the TV). 3 available access ports to improve connectivity during work-from-home situations. Average internet speeds of 170+Mbps down, 10+Mbps up. Ethernet cables available upon request.

**There are security cameras on the property. They are exterior and are trained on front and back gates and parking spaces.**

We are close enough to the ocean (1 block) such that you can hear the surf and sea lions at night. Stroll down in the morning with your coffee to check the surf and be in the water shortly thereafter.

This location is ideal for those seeking either a high walk-ability factor or as convenient launch point to day and night adventures allowing for a rich Southern California experience.

Ocean Beach offers a unique blend of energy, diversity, and soul. As the saying goes, 'Ocean Beach: its an attitude not a place'. From hacky sacking, hula hooping, and people watching by the grass flat near the pier, to the weekly Farmers Market with Live Music, shopping, and awesome fresh fare, to the vast offering of dining ranging from fish tacos to romantic fine dining there's something for everyone here and you'll be but minutes by foot to take it in at this rental.

Our unit features 2 comfortable queen sized beds, central AC/heat, plenty of private yard space, a high end kitchen, two flat screen TV's with cable, free NetFlix streaming, and Roku3. Tank-less water heaters allow for relaxing post ocean swim showers, followed up with unwinding in a comfortable living room.

You'll have off street uncovered alley parking that allows for one full sized car, mid sized SUV, minivan, or mid sized Truck which is very desirable in this area. Sorry but no RV's or tandem parking. If you chose, the property is a $20 cab ride from the airport, so if you're looking to stay local, a rental car may not be needed. With cabs, bikes, and the trolley, a reasonably energetic person will fare very well!

We have boogie boards and surf boards, some fishing gear, beach chairs, and an umbrella for your use. There is a shared (with us) washer and dryer for your use on the property. You will have a Weber gas grill with plenty of propane for your use.

If you decide to book with us, we will email you a welcome letter with the necessary information you will need to get to the home shortly after booking. Your personalized contract/pet terms (if applicable) will be attached. We ask that they are returned to us within 72 hours of receipt. We will need you to provide an email address for us to send these documents to you.



Starting May 1, 2023 San Diego requires ALL Guests staying at Short Term Residences (less then one month) to acknowledge and agree to the guidance in the Good Neighbor Policy notice provided by the host.

Hosts’ communication was above and beyond!
The property was clean and comfortable and exactly as advertised. Rich and Adrienne were available by text or phone if we had any questions. They checked in to make sure everything was good, sent us a link to things to do in OB, and let us check in early. It was great! We highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Rich & Adrienne

Host profile image
We live on the property in the front unit of the duplex. Ocean Beach is our home and we love it. We have extensive knowledge on what to do, who to talk to, and what to see during the day or night in Ocean Beach as well as the city.

On our off days we rarely get in our car to leave these few square miles we call home unless absolutely necessary; it has just about everything we need.

One of us is from the North East, one of us grew up in San Diego, and both of us are here to stay.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in Ocean Beach since 1998.

When this property became available, it fell into our laps and we think it was meant to be as it is a perfect fit for us.

We knew there was potential and have been upgrading ever since our move in. We are proud of our little slice of OB and are fortunate to have such a great community close by and friendly, long term neighbors.

As such, we've been renovating the property to create a space that we are comfortable in.

We're confident you will be comfortable and enjoy your stay as well.

What makes this property unique

We love hearing the waves and even the seals and sea lions on still nights.

While our property is a typical full lot in beach communities, we are fortunate to have a 'larger' backyard so close to the beach. Being 1 block from the beach allows you to retreat to a calmer, restful space in a matter of minutes. Coming home for lunch or an afternoon drink takes but a few minutes.

The beaches here are vast and you can always find a nice plot of sand to call your own for the day. Throw a line in the inlet for a little fishing if you choose or jump in to a volleyball pickup at the sand courts at the end of the block .

The West Coast is not particularly known for it's larger sandy beaches which makes us fortunate here in OB. With a little effort there are more secluded beaches very close by that will remove you from the manageable crowds here and make you feel as though you're away from the city , and we can happily provide the tips and tricks to get you there!
