Location was very good. Could have used a calendar to strain pasta. Would liked to have a better bed. I find that there could be a better bed. Appreciated the use of beach chairs. I did not appreciate the fact that we had to wash the dishes and empty the trash as I was charged 65 for housekeeping and feel that should be the job of the housekeeper. That is if I had to leave in a hurry and was not able to do the dishes.

Great place to stay while away.

Such a cute little bungalow. It is small, but you dont need much space anyways. As noted in the listing, there is no ac, however we didnt need it. Theres plenty of shade around keeping it cool. I would stay here again.

Overall a good stay. The property is exactly as pictured. Pros very close to the beach, clean, fairly easy to park. Cons airplane noise is very loud, the bed was a full size and tight for two people (it was me and my 18 year old daughter and it felt too small). I would say if you’re just looking for a small spot to sleep and be close to the beach, it does the job!

VRBO Stay

When we arrived to stay in our place, everything looked fine and cleanly; however, when we pulled up the sheets there were many crusty stains as if nothing had been washed. Given that we got in late, we didnt have many options to go stay elsewhere.Other than that, the place was ok.

Great, clean, fully equipped bungalow in OB 10/10 *

This was the best place I have stayed with VRBO!! 10/10 stars. I felt safe, clean and comfortable bungalow, near eateries, shopping and the host was great! Communication with the host was awesome, they answered my call and kept me informed of little details of my rental. It’s a hour or so walk to Sunset Cliffs and worth it!! 20 minutes walk to dog beach & beach. I’d stay here again!!

Cozy

Overall the place is fairly small, in my opinion perfect for a couples weekend get away. 15 min from downtown San Diego, balboa park, waterfront park, etc. The one downside is the parking which can be a head ache but with the great weather if San Diego, a short 2-3 min walk is nothing.

Just what you need.

This little studio was just what I needed. It was clean, the appliances were fresh and functional, and the bathroom was updated. At the same time, the vintage vibe was preserved with the original cabinetry and beadboard ceiling. I felt safe and tucked away. My visit coincided with the heat wave and hurricane Kay so a little AC would have been welcomed, but the weather event was a one off. I will rent this property again.

Super cute house in a fun area

Loved staying here! I came for a weekend trip with my fiancé and we had a great time! It’s in such a cute hippy area, we just parked the car and was able to walk to the beach and food no problem! (Beach is about 15-20 minute walk) Few things to note, the windows need to be open to cool the place down in the day so it seems very loud but at night it’s surprisingly quiet, we closed the windows and sky light and you hear nothing and the house stays cool with the fan on. There are planes flying over head during the day but they don’t between 10pm-7am so you don’t need to worry about not being able to sleep at night. If your planning on sleeping in super late, bring some ear plugs and an eye mask because it’s super sunny in the morning, and the house has a lot of natural light from the sky light. I highly recommend this place, we felt super safe and had a blast!
