Several of the studio cottages in the complex has been converted into cozy, clean and comfortable vacation rentals near the beach. Dogs are welcome for $25 a night per dog.

Welcome! I am always available for any questions or recommendations. Never hesitate to text or call me anytime! I want to make sure your stay is wonderful and meets all your expectations.

There is no A/C but being so close to the beach, you get a great sea breeze, but just in case, there is a portable fan (stored in the closet).

Thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between stays and contact-free check-in.

If there is no availability, please look at unit # 4

Cozy small apt perfect for a couple
The hosts were very easy to work with, quick with communication, their neighborhood recommendations were great, and the place was small (consistent with descriptions in profile) but perfect for my girlfriend and I when we visited San Diego. Had a great experience and recommend it to any other couple visiting.

Cute little studio in main area of OB
Location was easy to find and the place was tidy. I would have liked more cooking utensils in the kitchen, there was very limited glassware as well and no sponge to do the dishes. Communication with the owner was easy and the place matched the pictures! Definitely a prime area for OB

New favorite!
This is our new favorite little cottage! Stayed in July and stayed again last week! It’s prefect for the two of us! And a short walk to ocean beach! The new ramen place across the street is amazing! Can’t wait to come back next year!

Great location-walking distance to everything
Was within walking distance of everything in OB but yet also was quiet and away from noise. The only downside for us was that our side of the building the windows didn't face the ocean so we did not get the direction of breeze and no way to get a cross breeze flowing. Small fans so they were not as helpful during the unusual heat wave during our stay. Other than that the unit was clean and comfortable and she was wonderful to work with. Would stay again!

Perfect little place
We had a wonderful time in San Diego (Ocean Beach) happen to be having a heat wave so a little warm, but we're from the South so dealt with it. Very clean, cute place. Thank you very much for a Fantabulous vacation!!

Definitely requires more than a day 😃
It was so cute and perfect for a couple or 1 person! I wished we stayed longer. It can get kinda warm during the summer. I wished I had seen the tower fan sooner. But that was kinda my fault for not looking enough. (Maybe a note on the check in sheet would be helpful. ) Parking can get tricky as street parking is only option, so plan accordingly. I will definitely stay again and book for more days next time.

Great place to stay
My husband and I stayed here for a week. The check in process was so easy. The place was comfortable. It is small but worked out great for 2 adults. Great location and grocery store, convenience stores are just steps away. It is close enough to the beach to walk in 10 minutes or less but far away enough so that you don't hear any of the beach's nightlife.

The perfect getaway!
My husband and I were looking to spend just a few fun days close to the beach in beautiful San Diego. This was the perfect place! Ocean Beach is an amazing part of San Diego and the cottage was the perfect location - walking distance from the beach, delicious restaurants, and fun bars/breweries. The cottage was clean and nicely decorated, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. It was the perfect getaway and we can't wait til we can do it again!

Cute cottage!
What an adorable place! The outside doesn’t do it justice! Once you open the door it was a beach cottage escape! It was so clean and the decor is amazing! The retro toaster and microwave were so cool! Never stayed in ocean beach but will definitely recommend and will stay again! But for longer next time! Very walkable to everything! About a mile or so to Target and the ocean. I guess if there has to be one bad thing it would be that the volume on the Roku remote is very touchy and seems to turn the volume up extremely loud while struggling to turn it down. But who goes to the ocean to watch tv!

I would stay again, but…
The property was close to the beach and very cute! It was decorated nicely and also clean. However, I recommend bringing an extra fan, because it gets very warm around 3-5 pm. Also, parking is a challenge, because the street sweeper comes by on some days. Overall, I would stay there again, but I would bring extra fans!

A cute and cozy studio, had a great time! Heads up that the skylight is very bright in the morning, and there's not a way to cover it. There were also a lot of loud planes overhead in the evening, but quieted down after 10 p.m.
