Welcome to the Colorful Coastal Cottage! Nestled in the tranquil residential enclave of south Ocean Beach and Sunset Cliffs, this charming coastal retreat offers a warm and inviting ambiance just moments from the breathtaking Pacific coastline. The recently remodeled mid-century cottage blends charming, timeless character with modern comforts, featuring ocean breezes and serene ocean views. A spacious front deck provides the perfect vantage point for taking in spectacular sunsets, while the private backyard—complete with a hot tub, lounge seating, a dining area, and a barbecue—creates an ideal setting for relaxation and small outdoor gatherings.
Inside, the living space exudes cozy charm with its hardwood floors, gas fireplace, and comfortable sectional sofa seating. The original retro kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with modern appliances while retaining its nostalgic appeal, complemented by a Nespresso coffee and tea bar for morning indulgence. A seamless blend of vintage details and contemporary conveniences makes this home a welcoming and comfortable retreat. Off-street parking is available, with ample street parking nearby.
Beyond the home’s peaceful setting, guests can explore the scenic beauty of Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, just a short walk away. The vibrant heart of Ocean Beach, known for its eclectic charm, is within one mile, offering an array of unique boutiques, casual and upscale dining, lively bars, and a stretch of sandy shoreline ideal for swimming and surfing. The area’s relaxed, bohemian spirit invites visitors to embrace the laid-back coastal lifestyle.
With its inviting atmosphere and prime location near some of San Diego’s most famous attractions, such as Sea World, The San Diego Zoo, Belmont Park, Liberty Station, Gaslamp Quarter and more, this delightful cottage offers a true escape by the sea. Whether unwinding in the backyard oasis, strolling along the rugged cliffs, immersing in the vibrant local culture, or exploring our fabulous city, this home serves as the perfect base for an unforgettable Southern California experience.
Please note: Guests are required to accept our separate Vacation Rental Agreement and submit valid photo ID’s (to be exchanged after Booking). If you have questions about our Vacation Rental Agreement, photo ID’s, House Rules or Cancellation Policy, please inquire PRIOR to your booking to avoid unnecessary cancellations.
This property is located in a quiet neighborhood with neighbors living very close to each other as in most beach-side communities. We welcome quiet, respectful and responsible tenants. If you plan on entertaining more than a few friends or family, please note this property is not right for you. We practice "meet and greet" at check-in; quickly show you around, turn over the keys and answer any questions you may have.
Minor decor details are subject to change from photos - I like to switch things up a little.
If the dates you are interested are not showing as available on the calendar, shoot me a message. Booking dates can be flexible because we are lucky to live close by and frequently block out dates for our family to enjoy the Cottage.

Early check-in (before 4:00) or late check-out (after 11:00), if available, may be requested for a possible additional fee.
