Enjoy the Snowy Egrets, pelicans, ducks, and sandpipers in the estuary; meander along the bike path for other birdwatching or use the two on-site bikes or razors; a two-minute walk West along the bike path to the public (no-dog) beach and surfing, boogie boarding (four on site), or just watch the surf crash on the rocks. Walk two minutes East to the new skate-board park and wild-life viewing.
The main shopping area of "OB" (Ocean Beach) is within walking distance, including antique row. So is fishing off the OB pier or surfing alongside it. Restaurants range from the quick-and-cheap to on-the-waterfront pricey. There are many nightspots. You will not want to miss this last-of-the-original beach town atmosphere complete with street fair every Wednesday.
Ocean Beach is centrally located. It is a ten-minute drive to Mission Valley shopping malls, Sea World, Balboa Park, Old Town, Downtown San Diego, Petco Park, Qualcomm Stadium, and the main airport. It is 20 minutes to the Tiajuana border.

Vacation with Your Dog at Dog Beach! Free Dog-Sitting!
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Beach
There's just no place like Ocean Beach in my eyes. I love it here. It's a very relaxed natural atmosphere; no "artificial environment" like you find in some other communities. I walked my dogs on Dog Beach every Friday afternoon for 25 years. Finally, I knew I had to make it permanent. Ocean Beach as a community is very dog-friendly. There are even some outdoor dining establishments that allow your dog to lie at your feet while you dine. And there are some dog-centric events such as the annual "weiner-dog" races on Dog Beach. There's a Farmer's Market every Wednesday afternoon and lots of community events such as kite-flying in March, christmas parade, beach-blanket bingo,and sand castles after Thanksgiving, etc..
The Unique Benefits at this Condo (bottom unit of duplex)
Can't beat the location. We have direct access to the beach and, at night, you can see the lights from So. Mission Beach across the channel instead of the pitch blackness of the open ocean. Sometimes you can hear the wild seals barking. This is a very active community. There's something going on, like a jazz festival or whatever, just about every month. And there is a great street fair every Wednesday afternoon. We can see Sea World from here.
Owner's Map of Ocean Beach
Hi. I'm a retired lawyer. My hobbies are playing duplicate bridge and watching football...not at the same time! I completely renovated this unit, inside and out, a few years ago. It was a true labor of love so it is near to my heart. I try to maintain it in top condition. It's near to most places you'd want to visit in San Diego and borders the beach. The Wild Animal Park and the Tiajuana border are about 20-30 minutes away. Naval bases are 10-12 minutes. It's about a mile off Interstate 8 that connects with the other freeways. I love Ocean Beach. It's one of the original So. California beach towns.

"Thank you so much for having us this month. We are so sad to go! We had a blast learning how to surf, taking the bikes to Mission, eating at the pier and wandering around Newport street. Willow and Gilo loved swimming and playing frisbee at dog beach every day. The next time we find ourselves with a few weeks off, we'll be giving you a call! We made a blog of our trip. Check it out at: obsurferrosa . blogspot . com. Thanks again and see you next time."

Sharron, Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. We had the time of our lives....but the week went to fast. Rosko and Peeko are going to be looking all over Arizona wondering "where's the beach?" We hope to come back as often as posssible. We will mail you some pictures! Thanks again! Hugs."

"We all loved our time that we spent here. You've made it so convenient for all of us to be able to enjoy the beach with our dogs. The most important point for us was that our dogs were always very safe so we had no worries. With 5 that's very hard to do. We truly appreciate your help and kindness throughout our trip. We certainly will return."

"This is our second visit! Krissy & Tyler love going to Dog Beach, sometimes twice a day. We often think that coming here is more a vacation for them than for us! Miss Tinkerball (cat) feels right at home here too. The humans in this family appreciate all of the comforts in this beach house and we love having our animals with us. It was a nice break for all of us. Even our guest from Maryland loved this place."
