About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walk to the beach! Heart of Ocean Beach!

It's a little bit funky, it's a little bit retro, and it's ALL beachy fun!

Located in the heart of one of San Diego's most famous beach communities and within walking distance to the ocean and to the heart of the Ocean Beach community, our place offers everything you might need to rest, rejuvenate and have some fun in San Diego!

Not only are we right down the street from shopping, restaurants and entertainment, but we are mere minutes from San Diego's best beaches, including Pacific Beach, La Jolla and Del Mar. Sea World is right around the corner, Balboa Park is just a hop, skip and a jump away, and the Gaslamp District is about 10 minutes down Interstate 5. Let's just say we're about 10 minutes from almost any place you might want to visit in our amazing city, as well as the San Diego International Airport!

This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep four. Our beach cottage features a queen-sized bed, along with a very comfortable sofa sleeper. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and amenities include free parking, free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV.

Guest Access

You will have access to the entire bungalow and all amenities, including the front yard outdoor space and, of course, sunny San Diego!

If you’re looking for a laid back beach to hang out like a local, look no further than Ocean Beach. This small beach town is a favorite among locals who spend their days surfing, sun bathing around the pier, hanging out and strolling through the many surf shops, taco stands and antique malls. Ocean Beach offers the pitch perfect throw-back groovy vibe of vintage SoCal, coupled with friendly locals, great dining, and a vibrant night life scene.

Nestled between the San Diego River and the hills of Point Loma, Ocean Beach is perfect for surfers to enjoy the waves created by jetties. The beach is super friendly for swimmers and sun bathers!

Getting around

A rental car is strongly recommended! Otherwise, Uber, Lyft and taxicabs are the best bets, but mediocre SoCal public transportation is also available. ;)

    Ocean Beach Retreat

    The accommodations where clean and inviting. Host communicates well. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops. Only suggestion would be a space heater and area rugs for the bedroom during the winter months as it was definitely colder than normal for San Diego. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Lovely, bungalow and fantastic location!

    We absolutely loved our stay in this bungalow. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our daughter slept great on the pullout couch and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location is exceptional. The main street had many fantastic, unique shops, and restaurants. And it is just minutes to a beautiful beach. We will definitely be back!

    Great location and responsive owner

    We enjoyed our stay at the beach house! It is in a great location. The house is close to town with restaurants, stores, the beach, etc. Inside, the house is a bit dated, but for the price and location, it was well worth it. The owner was very responsive when we had questions and communicated with us throughout our stay as needed.

    Young adult trip

    The property was amazing and perfect for a young couple. The front yard was tidy and room for kids to play if need be. The best part, in my opinion, was the location. Everything we needed and more was right there in short walking distance including the beach. Even walking late at night after dark, we felt safe in this neighborhood and would definitely recommend !
