Vacation in our charming home! Location is everything. Our home is steps to the beach and two blocks from the main street in Ocean Beach. Sun, surf, bike ride, and relax. This is the best that San Diego has to offer.
Only two blocks away, the tide-pools will enthrall adults and children alike. Take long walks along the romantic beach where the sunset disappears into the Pacific Ocean each evening. In the spring and fall, whales migrate just beyond the end of the local OB Pier.
We provide everything. The home is fully furnished and includes all linens. You benefit from our new remodel. The home has two master bedrooms each with queen-size beds. The home is very comfortable for four adults although it will sleep six because of a convertible bed in the living room. There is a full kitchen and we include cookware and dishes, as you would expect.
RESERVED PARKING IS ON-SITE. This is a big deal at the beach.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach has a special significance for us because our first date was at the famous "Hodad's" in Ocean Beach. We now live nearby and our kids love going to OB to play in the sand, come for the "OB Street Fair" each Wednesday, or take a walk in the stroller down Newport Ave. to window shop. We find it to be one of the quieter beach areas (less traffic and fewer tourists than Mission Beach) and we love that "small-beach-feel".
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love the location. With two small children, having to drive someplace or walk far would be tough. But when we stay at our cottage, we can walk to the beach, to shopping, to dinner, or even the grocery store. We also love the beds -- they are so comfortable that we bought the same ones for our home that we live in! We also enjoy the front yard with Dino, our golden retriever puppy, who loves to play "fetch".
Owner's Map of Ocean Beach
Hi! I'm Tobi (from Los Angeles) and my husband is Andy (from Oklahoma). We met once we were both living in San Diego and love it here! The cottages are our family's investment for our 2-year old son Micah and our 1-year old son Jake. We have made many upgrades since we bought them. We love to see our guests return again and again, and have had the pleasure of accommodating our guests for such special occasions as graduations, weddings, and births.
