Location: Ocean Beach, San Diego County, California, USA
Accommodations: Beach Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
This charming beachside cottage has been lovingly renovated into a private and contemporary "surf shack" completely surrounded by lush, tropical gardens. With natural wood finishings throughout, a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the bedroom, a fully-furnished open beam kitchen with lots of natural light, and French doors in both the living room and bedroom that open up onto the private patio and tropical gardens outside. Enjoy a glass of wine or dine al fresco on the brick and stone patio nestled in the bamboo and giant birds of paradise. Or watch the seagulls and wild parrots fly by as you relax in the cool ocean breeze.
Just a half block away is the surf and sand of beautiful Ocean Beach, where the San Diego locals like to go to surf, swim, and just hang out at the beach. The famous OB Pier (the longest pier in southern California) is right there, and so is Dog Beach, the first and still the best leash-free beach on the west coast for our four-legged friends. We gladly accept small, well-behaved pets, so feel free to bring yours along.
Downtown OB is a short, scenic 4-block walk or bike ride away. There you will find an eclectic mix of eateries, nightclubs, antique shops, clothing stores, and much, much more. Every Wednesday the main street is shut down to vehicle traffic for a large and very popular Farmer's Market. Two four-star restaurants are also located in town.
And of course, all of greater San Diego's other abundant attractions are easily accessible by car. Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, the Gaslamp district, Old Town, Petco Park, Sunset Cliffs -- all located within a 10-minute or less drive. The airport, train station, and trolley system are as well.
Come stay with us at Brighton Beach Gardens. We'll do our very best to help make your stay a rejuvenating, healing experience and a positive, lasting memory.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Beach
I was attracted to Ocean Beach because it is one of the few remaining funky little beach towns in Southern California that hasn't been commercialized, and it's where the locals like to go -- great surfing and swimming and beautiful white sand beach. It's got a very laid-back atmosphere. And being a dog owner, Dog Beach just can't be beat.
The Unique Benefits of this Beach Cottage
The major benefit of this property is it's location. Just a half block from the beach is this wonderful restored old cottage tucked into the gardens. The other major benefit is the rental rate. We are trying to offer an AFFORDABLE alternative to the beauty of San Diego beaches.
