Stay at the beach to take my mind off work

Excellent property and location at OB. Far enough from the main strip to be peaceful, close enough to be convenient. Host was incredible and very responsive. I stayed here for a work trip and had significant issues with the wifi =( If you are looking to detach and enjoy the beach, this will be a great stay for you!

Great place to experience OB and San Diego!

The property was a absolutely perfect for our vacation. It was very clean, equipped (from the kitchen to the shoe rack), central to everything in Ocean Beach and a very quick walk to the beach! The owner was so very accommodating. We were given guidance on everything from restaurants to parking. Great VRBO experience. Highly recommend this place!

Great OB stay!

The apartment itself is great! Very clean, spacious and more than enough as far as amenities are concerned. We were very comfortable and impressed! Communication with the owner and prop manager was great as well, both were very responsive, helpful, and polite. The only downfall is the parking is horrible, but that can be typical for a beach town.

Gorgeous condo nearby beach with great management!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with this condo! It is beautiful inside and had everything we could have possibly wanted. Very modern with a full kitchen. Walking distance to the beach and nearby shops. My dog loved it! Despite no assigned parking, we had no trouble findings nearby spots for our two vehicles. The property owner is extremely easy to work with and is very flexible. Great experience! I hope to stay here again some day.

Don’t stay here!

Street parking if you’re lucky enough to find a spot! Very noisy even with windows closed! No outdoor light which is a safety issue considering the people that walk around at night. Property manager is extremely picky and will charge you extra for sand or dog hair on the floor! I’m currently disputing an extra 100 charge for candles and dirty towels which I have no idea what they are referring to. I left the place cleaner than I found it; the property manager obviously running a scam!

Enjoyable stay!

Just spent five nights at this lovely place with my family, which includes two tweens. A few of the things to highlight: - the place was very clean, comfortable and extremely well stocked (not only the coffee/tea and a few basics in the kitchen, but the bathroom had a number of toiletry items you don't even get in a hotel) - the owner was not only very responsive (when I did have questions, I received an answer via text immediately), but also very proactive (but not intrusive). Always texting me if going to be unavailable and providing an alternative contact. Sending me ideas of attractions and restaurants. - the location is fantastic: Two blocks from the beach, a short walk from the street with groceries and restaurants, and short drives to everywhere else. And if you like dogs, like I do, this location is particularly amazing. Dogs everywhere! Three small things for people to consider: - the area itself is quite noisy. Just lots of people, cars, etc. So if you want complete quiet, you might want something less urban. We didn't mind it, but I can imagine it might be noticeable. - if you have a car, it is only street parking, which at busy times (weekends) can require circling a bit, or parking several blocks away. We always found a spot, and the weather is so amazing, we didn't mind it, but just be aware. - the overview said there was a washer/dryer, and one reviewer also mentioned it. However, there isn't a washer/dryer anymore. There is a laundromat a couple blocks away. The owner said they'd check the overview. Overall - a great place to stay if you are visiting San Diego and like being near a beach.

Great beach location

This was a clean, cozy little place to stay by the beach. It's proximity to the beach, shops and restaurants was exactly what we were looking for. Also, it was not far to the San Diego Zoo and museums. Check in was easy and the owner was very responsive with questions. We will definitely check this place out again when we are in San Diego.

So close to the beach.

We were so pleased as to how close the property was to the beach. It was just what we were looking for. The walkable restaurant options were a big plus as parking seemed limited in some areas during certain times of the day. It was a bit noisy at times with the amount of traffic but that's an uncontrollable variable. It's a popular beach with lots of visitors, so it made sense there would be lots of traffic. We were fortunate enough to arrive on the day when the Farmer's Market was going on and it was amazing to see all the different vendors and enjoy the yummy food. We kept the windows open most of the time we were there to enjoy the ocean breeze. The kitchen was well supplied with all the necessities. Comfy beds and plenty of linens and towels. My son loved playing the board games. Easy check in. Meiluen was prompt in responses and very helpful when giving us the details about our stay, as well as suggestions of some great spots to check out. She clearly wants her guests to not only enjoy their stay, but get the best out of their stay. She's a great host.

Nice place, lots of rules, no parking

Overall, the property was nicely maintained and stocked with necessary hardware. Wifi was fast. TV channels don't include national news, so bring a tablet to watch online. The amount of rules listed by the owner was irritating since these were not agreed to before signing up. Simplify this list to: "Smoking, excessive sand, or pet hair will result in a separate cleaning fee." Also, using the word "negligence" when referring to guests' potential behavior is inappropriate in a hospitality setting. (Though, I dont know if this is common for Californian VRBOs.)
