Great to have the parking & the house had everything I needed. Loved the tomatoes in the front garden! I felt very comfortable there, and so did my dogs. Keep in mind sand gets everywhere and the bungalow style house might get a few random spiders and things, but overall exactly what I expected in a beach vacation. Very communicative hosts.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay here. The home is well stocked and is so close to the beach. We parked our car in the very large driveway at the beginning of our stay and never needed it again. We were able to walk or ride the rentable Bird scooters everywhere around OB and Sunset Cliffs. The jacuzzi was a nice added plus. To the property. Thank you, Greg. We will return soon. ##### William M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin L.

We love the location, backyard is great, and owners are very nice and responsive. The Property could be a little cleaner and it is a bit of a rustic property. However, the huge backyard, great location, ample parking and price make it a great value. We did not bring our pets with us this time, but this is a great property for pets. ##### Martin L.

The location is amazing. Dog beach is right at the end of the block, and downtown OB is only a couple minutes walk away. The house is great, perfect size for our crew, and stocked with everything we needed to cook up all the delicious food we found at the farmers market. The back yard is small but feels very secluded even with all the other houses around, and we loved having a private hot tub on the cold(ish) December nights. The owners were super helpful and nice. It was very hard to leave! ##### Brian P. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 23, 2012 #### Already missing the beach already! We just finished up our second trip to this house. We love the eclectic vibe of Ocean Beach but this house also offers its own private secluded retreat. The yard is fully fenced for the safety of our children - both pawed and non-pawed. The location to Dog Beach can't be beat. The added touches of high-end quality furnishings and amenities are a treat. The house is charming (yes small) but not much time is spent indoors! I have a hard time keeping husband and child out of out outdoor shower - they both want one at home now.

It is a beautifully restored, appointed, and maintained property just one block from Dog Beach and an easy walk to the heart of Ocean Beach with its many great shops, restaurants, farmers markets, and unique local flavor. The property is equipped with all necessary amenities, and then some. It has a spacious, private back yard and patio area, with a jacuzzi, grill, bikes, and lounge and patio furniture. The yard is fenced in and perfect for dogs. Parking is not a problem because it has a two-car carport. The interior is warm and roomy, and the owners have a great sense of space and style about everything from furniture to dishes. We would recommend this terrific house to anyone without reservation, and we will definitely be booking this property again. ##### Susan A.

If you are looking for a great place to stay, this is it! Is super for a couple! Only half a block to the beach. Owners furnish everything you could possibly ask for! The furnishings are first class and all the luxuries of home! Small T.V., but hey, who needs TV when so much to see and do around Ocean Beach. Love the hot tub and patio. Lots of privacy and great for a dog. We didnt lack for anything, want to stay forever! ##### Sherri Y.
