The Sweet Escape for 2

Summary:
Escape to our charming 1-bedroom cottage, a cozy retreat just steps from Ocean Beach, San Diego. Experience farmhouse elegance with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable living space, and a plush bed for the best sleep. Relax on your private patio, surrounded by coastal vibes. Walk to the beach and explore nearby eateries and entertainment. Your perfect getaway awaits in this coastal haven.

The Space:
This 2-on-1 property features a wonderful 1BR guesthouse with a full kitchen, full bath and private outdoor space. You can grill outside or cook inside with this fully-appointed property, all while immersing yourself in its "coastal farmhouse" vibe. The adjoining tandem parking space is large enough to handle a large SUV. The bedroom boosts a queen size bed.
Living room and bedroom provides a roku tv perfect for app base streaming services.
Beach equipment provided

Guest Access:
You have the complete house to yourselves, including courtside patio (note, however, there is a separate main house with its own adjoining patio), The assigned parking space is very oversized and could accommodate 2 smaller cars, if necessary. We also provide boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys and beach towels for your use when visiting. Laundry available onsite (and shared with any guests in the front house)!

The Neighborhood:
OB is the hippest and most "neighborly" of San Diego's beach communities. There is nothing quite like the non-corporate lifestyle of Ocean Beach. The locals here love OB for its eclectic community that supports a range of wonderful small shops, restaurants, bars and coffee houses. You will find some of the best food, drink and shopping in the local area. All of OB is accessible on foot from this location. So enjoy and take it all in!

Getting Around:
Rental bikes and scooters are plentiful for rent by the hour/day/week. Uber/Lyft are very active in San Diego and the assigned parking guarantees that you will always have parking should you venture out into greater San Diego.

Other Things to Note:
The cottage is located behind the main house. Access is from the alley and features 2 parking spots.
For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Pets are welcome but we don't allow cats in this property. Our standard pet fee is $150 (this may vary dependent on length of stay & type of pet). Please let us know if you will be bringing along your furry friend!

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.

Beautiful neighbourhood, proximity to beach, lovely house, great communication with host, well-equipped kitchen, great facilities. Two minor things: there was quite a bit of dog hair in the apartment and the airplanes flying over the apartment were rather loud in the early mornings (starting 6am). Nevertheless, many thanks go out again to Aaron the host for everything!

Cozy beach cottage

This is a cute beach bungalow guest house, behind the main home. It was extremely well appointed with everything we needed for a weekend stay. We appreciated the fenced in space and relative privacy, though there is some visibility into the yard of the main home. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Everything You Could Want!

My family had an amazing stay over the Christmas holiday. We rented out both properties so that my husband and I and our reactive dog stayed in the smaller guest house and the rest of the family stayed in the main home on the same property. It was such a perfect situation where we never felt over cramped and everyone had the right amount of togetherness and privacy as needed. Dog beach is a minute walk away and it was wonderful to wake up early and take the dog to the beach to play in the ocean, especially because he has only ever known the deserts of the Southwest. Magical.We also couldn't stop talking about how all the kitchen appliances were well maintained and well appointed, which almost never happens with vacation rentals. Thank you so much for the perfect holiday setting! We will be back.

Nice little place super close to the beach. It was nice to be able to walk to the farmers market on Wednesday. Didn’t need the car while in OB. Would definitely stay here again. The beach chairs & umbrella was nice to have too.

Just as expected, cute beach cottage well appointed and so close we walked down multiple times each day. Was able to work remotely and enjoy all the vibes OB offers after hours. Loved the street market on Wednesday and South Beach grille upstairs views. Coffee in the mornings on the patio via complete kitchen and the brita is a nice touch. Easy parking for us next to our gate. Would 💯 stay again/

Beach getaway

We picked it for the location. Very close to the dog beach, park and short walk to the restaurants and shops. We didn’t want to have to drive to things and the spot was perfect. Off street parking was huge bonus and we enjoyed the market around the corner for beverages.

Right under the flight path of San Diego airport. Hard to handle. Very close to the beach. I don’t think I’ll be using these rental sites anymore. Host fees were $300. I could have stayed at the Hilton for that!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Such a cute little bungalow! We loved all the vintage doors and old handles, plus the wood ceiling in the kitchen! Turns out it was a few doors away from from a friend’s house, and we were able to walk everywhere. Definitely recommended!!
