FURTHER DETAILS:
This beautiful apartment begins with a cozy living room just off your carport. It features cushy recliners, an electric fireplace/heater, and a 32' flat screen TV with DVD player and ATT Uverse HDTV plus DVR. The credenza contains beach towels and there are beach bags and hats for your use by the back door so you can grab them on your way to the beach!
Down the hall is the larger of the 2 bedrooms with a queen sized bed, 21' flat screen TV with DVR access and a large closet complete with an assortment of fresh robes and slippers. There are extra bed linens in the chest of drawers, extra blankets/pillows in closet.
Further down the hall is the apartment's spa bathroom complete with tub/rain shower, vanity space for 2 and a
fabulous glass pedestal sink. The shower is lined in slate style ceramic tile trimmed in slate and limestone and the vanity area and back splash are glass mosaic tile. There are plenty of fluffy towels to pamper you and a powerful hair dryer.
The metal dining table sits under a casual nickel chandelier and seats 6. The adjacent lounge has a full sized sofa bed hidden in a plush micro suede couch, and another flat screen TV with DVR access. This area can seat 6 comfortably. Also in this open area is a brand new kitchen with glass doored cupboards, a very deep stainless steel sink (for bathing small dogs and children?) and new stainless range and refrigerator. The countertops are Italian porcelain tile. There is also a pull-out pantry, as well as dishes, glasses and crystal stemware for at least 8 people.
The smaller bedroom houses adult extra-long bunk beds along with a built in desk and another closet complete with fresh robes and slippers. Its window looks out onto the patio and back yard.
Walk out the back door and you will find a covered patio and landscaped 'beachy' back yard covered by shade sails and decorated with old surfboards. There is an outdoor lounge area with comfy chairs. The back gate opens onto a paved path, the San Diego River estuary (a wetlands sanctuary for birds such as blue herons, snowy egrets, pelicans and osprey) and then the beaches. The beach on the left is for people and the beach on the right is a unique off-leash area for dogs to run, swim and socialize!
All beds have Select Comfort Sleep Number mattresses (queen with dual controls) so you can adjust the firmness to any degree and as often as you like. These mattresses can also be dry cleaned as necessary. The pillows are encased in hypoallergenic covers that are washed after each use.
The simple, tasteful decor features original works by local painters and sculptors. The dog-proof, kid-proof floors are concrete which has been stained and sealed and are textured to be slip-resistant. The throw rugs are washed after every use. To help circulate the ocean breezes, there are ceiling fans in every area of the apartment.

This condo is exactly as described. Perfect place for dog and owner. Our dog Peaches is still pouting since we came back home. My husband and I got lots of exercise walking. Just go out back gate and up to walking,biking,jogging path overlooking the beach. Don't have to walk on beach. Beautiful view from path. We did go down to dog beach a few times a day. Friendly people who clean up after their dogs and Peaches made so many friends! Had many conversations with friendly dog owners. Can't always be sure about cleanliness when renting dog-friendly units but this was very clean and Brita supplies everything you need. Loads of towels and furniture covers. Comfortable sleep number beds. Kitchen fully equipped. Walking distance to restaurants, 7-11. Short drive to Ralph's grocery and there's also a Grocery Outlet same area. We were involved in car accident while there and Brita could not have been more accommodating! We will stay here again. Thanks Brita!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your wonderful comments, and also for leaving our place in such good condition! If I could rate guests, you would definitely get 5 stars. It was a pleasure having you, and while all the dogs who've stayed here are special, Peaches has to be the sweetest girl I've ever encountered. I look forward to having you all back again for another beach vacation!

Loved it so much the first time we went back for more. Only this time we had 4 dogs in tow. The weather was less cooperative , which could have proved a disaster given that there were now 4 dogs constantly dripping wet. However thanks to Brita's huge supply of dog towels and sheets we were able to keep drying them off without any problem. (Apologies again tho' Brita for doubling your laundry load). But apart from the aforementioned, we again had a fabulous time in this wonderful condo, and spent hours watching them all play on dog beach. We mostly self-catered (which was very easy given that the kitchen has everything you could need), but there are some fabulous restaurants in easy walking distance, some of which have dog friendly patio's. This really is a condo worth staying in, the details are accurate, and the photo's don't do it full justice. Brita is an absolute gem. So thanks..... and I hope we'll be allowed to stay again!! ClareOwner response: Of course you ladies and all your woofers are welcome back any time! It's always fun to have guests who truly embrace the Ocean Beach experience and who feel at home in the condo. And please don't ever worry about using too many towels...that's why they're there. I don't even want to think about how miserable four wet dogs (and three charming ladies) would have been without them :) Thank you so much for taking the time to write a second review, and we hope to see you back soon!

Fantastic. Beautiful. I could go on with the superlatives but you get the idea. Place is just gorgeous. Garden is lovely. That short walk to dog beach meant my woofers went every day and we stayed for hours, because it's so much fun to watch all the dogs having a ball. I am amazed that every piece of bedding is washed before the next people arrive, and I mean everything, right down to the mattress protectors. Brita provides every thing you could possibly need (including dog towels). Bo Beau restaurant is a must and is 2 mins walk ( as are several other restaurants). I can't wait to go again. Thanks so much Brita for a wonderful 5 days. Clare xOwner response: Thanks so much, Clare! It was wonderful to have all you ladies and your pooches...I look forward to meeting the rest of the dogs on your next visit. I'm glad you've booked again before the rest of the winter fills up. Have a terrific Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'll see you again soon!

We loved the location! We walked to the beach every day. Dog beach is the best for dog lovers. The fenced in back yard was great. It was a quiet place but there was a small dog next door that barked at everything (not a deal breaker). The place was clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We would highly recommend this VRBO!! Thank you.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you for your review, Melinda. I'm glad you enjoyed our place and OB's terrific dog beach. You were wonderful guests and are welcome back any time. I'm so sorry you were bothered by a neighbor's dog. Unfortunately, not all vacationers are as courteous and respectful of others as you and your family are. My neighbors on both sides also have vacation rentals which welcome dogs, and once in a while they have a guest who does not keep their dog(s) quiet. If that ever happens again, please let me know immediately so I can speak with the owners and clear up the annoyance. I know if can really grate on one's nerves. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review, and I hope we see you again!

Hello Brita. My wife made all the arrangements but i wanted to write the review of our stay. First of all, we didnt even know you were there. It was so quiet/peaceful, felt like we owned the whole property. I really liked all the modern fixtures in the kitchen/bathroom, the way you decorated all the spaces, the backyard, EVERYTHING was so clean! We were very, very comfortable. Out the back gate we could go left and take our dogs to the beach but an added bonus for us was to the right there are 7 ball fields. (Our daughter plays comp softball so we were able to practice and not worry about getting a field. At home we have to hop a fence to practice as most ball fields are locked up). We enjoyed the beach everyday, which is about a 30 second walk from your backyard--in fact your location is about 6 minutes away from everything we liked to do! We rented bicycles, (very inexpensive-they deliver and pick up), our last day and rode all over the neighborhood. We came to the conclusion that we would love living there! We appreciate the fact that you didnt have any hidden fees, what we paid is what we paid. Thank you so much, we cant wait to come back-are already planning on when we can get away from work. (Speaking of work, i have to work off the 9 lbs i gained from eating at Surf Riders Pizza almost everyday, it was sooo good!).Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Hi, J, Thank you so much for the great review. I'm glad you all had such a good time, and I appreciate your taking the time to let me know. I also appreciate your leaving our place in such great condition...it's guests like you and your family who make having a vacation rental such a pleasure! You're welcome back any time!!!

Although the listing description spells out all of the amenities of this property, you really have to see it to believe it. From the moment we walked in the front door we felt at home and at peace. This trip was a last minute decision and Brita was MORE than accomodating and squeezed us in. Having our 8 year old labrador with us is always the most important part of any vacation we take and she absolutely loved this place! She's still smiling..... She had her own sheets and towels provided for her and didn't have to worry about getting anything sandy because the floors are artistically formed poured concrete! The best feature of the decor are the numerous wimsical and colorful paintings done by Brita herself. We were within walking distance to town and numerous wonderful restaurants and of course, outside the gated outdoor haven was the massive Dog Beach where the dogs romp and play off leash. There is also a paved walkway which goes on for miles. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is desirous of a beach getaway ESPECIALLY if you have a furry child with you. Thank you for a memorable stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you, K & B! I'm so glad you all enjoyed yourselves! You are welcome back any time :)

The pictures don’t do it justice. We loved it! Everything was clean, well decorated and absolutely cozy. Just like we wanted it. The owners are great and very accommodating (Specially when you locked yourself out of the house while your husband is taking a nap). Thanks so much Richard! The location is perfect close to everything and the kitchen is AMAZING! You could find everything you need when you’re ready to cook and serve meals. I felt in love with the beautiful bathroom and gorgeous floor all around this beautiful OB House. We've loved every memory and hope to go back real soon. Thanks Brita & Richard for sharing your home with my family. Hope to see you soon! We will miss the fireworks every night!! Martha & RichardOwner response: Thank you so much, Martha! We truly enjoyed having you guys and your extended family. It was wonderful to meet you all and to see how you fit right in to our relaxed beach living.And thank you for the beautiful care you took of our condo. You are A+ guests and I hope you come back soon!

We had a great time! Everything was as Brita portrayed it. It was wonderful to be able to take our dog and go right out the back door to the beach. It was quiet and clean and Brita was a wonderful hostess.. Loved the art on the walls! We hope to go again sometime. One suggestion I would make would be to include a large skillet- breakfast would be easier to make. I also wished for a gallon container for juice, etc. - I picked one up and donated it to the cause when I left! But these 2 things are small potatoes and only add to the adventure of taking a vacation! Close to everything you need- Sea World, Old Town San Diego, Mission Beach Amusement Park. Would definitely recommend this condo!!Owner response: Thank you, Laurie! I wish I could review guests, because you guys would get 5 stars! It was a pleasure having you, and I appreciate the care you took of our condo. Thanks for the suggestions. Will add another juice container and 2 large frying pans asap. Hope to see you all again soon (including Pepper!)

After looking at many properties in the Ocean Beach area, we chose this one and we are so happy we did! Everything Brita described in her web site was right on. We had a dog, so having a private yard that was fenced in was important. The home was very comfortable and had all the amenities needed for our stay. The greatest joy for us, was walking right out the back gate to the beach! It truly was that close, which was fantastic and made the trip that much more enjoyable. We loved being able to take our dog to the beach at any time with such ease. After a quick trip to the store for some staples, we never had to get in the car the rest of the week. Everything from shopping to dining to entertainment is well within walking distance which added to the pleasure of our trip. Thanks Brita for your hospitality, we will certainly be back!Owner response: Thank you very much! We loved having you all and hope you'll come back as soon as you can!

This condo was perfect for us, our kids, and our three large (but well-behaved) dogs. The condo was well provisioned and in a perfect location. Brita was so hospitable and so nice to our family and our dogs. We loved Dog Beach and I highly recommend staying here if you want the easiest, most comfortable stay at Dog Beach!Owner response: Thank you so much! You folks were perfect guests, and I hope we see you again soon!

The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The community of Ocean Beach still offers the unique Southern California small town beach experience. It is not glitzy and over-built, just the casual, friendly, laid-back vibe you'd expect at the beach.
You are in an authentic residential beach neighborhood established in the early 1950's when the Wonderland amusement park which used to occupy this area closed.
