About this property

Welcome to the Colorful Coastal Cottage! We are located in the quiet and serene residential area of south Ocean Beach and Sunset Cliffs, San Diego. Walk a short few blocks to Sunset Cliffs Natural Park or approximately 1 mile (20-25 minute walk or 10 minute bike ride or 10 minute bus ride) from the famous and eclectically fabulous and lively downtown Ocean Beach with it’s numerous shops, dining options, bars, sweets, and the main beach, complete with lifeguards, a wide stretch of sand, swimming and surfers. Relax in our cozy, mid-century cottage in our peaceful neighborhood with ocean breezes and ocean views, recently remodeled and decorated with a casual coastal vibe. Hang out on the roomy front deck to watch the sun set, or relax in the spacious backyard, complete with lounge chairs, dining table, BBQ, hot tub and roomy lawn. We offer a spacious living room, with hardwood floors, a gas fireplace and a flat screen TV. The original retro kitchen has modern appliances, spices for cooking and a cool Nespresso Coffee Bar. There is off street parking (although there is plenty of street parking out front). Walk 2-3 blocks to the divine and beautiful Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, the secluded cliffs of Ocean Beach, and to the local mini marts and eateries. I have lived in San Diego for over 35 years and am happy to assist with suggestions and information regarding the city during your stay. We look forward to hosting you at our home away from home!*

*Please note: Guests are required to accept our separate Vacation Rental Agreement and submit valid photo ID’s (to be exchanged after Booking). If you have questions about our Vacation Rental Agreement, photo ID’s, House Rules or Cancellation Policy, please inquire PRIOR to your booking to avoid unnecessary cancellations.

This property is located in a quiet neighborhood with neighbors living very close to each other as in most beach-side communities. We welcome quiet, respectful and responsible tenants. If you plan on entertaining more than a few friends or family, please note this property is not right for you.

Minor decor details are subject to change from photos - I like to switch things up a little.

If the dates you are interested are not showing as available on the calendar, shoot me a message. Booking dates can be flexible because we are lucky to live close by and frequently block out dates for our family to enjoy the Cottage.

Bookings for 30+ nights available between Labor Day and Memorial Day. Discounts available. If interested, please inquire for more details. Four (4) night minimum for all bookings.

Early check-in (before 4:00) or late check-out (after 11:00), if available, may be requested for an additional fee.

This property is listed ONLY on VRBO - any other listing is sadly a scam! Please notify me if you see this rental on any other platform.

Wonderful Colorful Coastal Cottage

My husband and I stayed a week in April, our third time at this wonderful cottage in Ocean Beach. It is becoming our home when we visit to be with family in San Diego. It is always charming, comfortable, clean, with great amenities, beautiful views of the ocean, and lovely outdoor space to relax in. Rachel is an outstanding host. We highly recommend it as a home base and great location in San Diego.

Lovely stay!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cottage! Everything about the place was very thoughtfully done- The beds were comfortable, a good variety of pillows for stomach or back sleepers, and great outdoor seating. There were a number of considerate “extras” that made our stay more convenient since we had flown in and didn’t have our typical belongings- we appreciated a sound machine, beach blanket and a soft-sided cooler to name a few. The location is wonderful! We were able to walk to Sunset Cliffs, tide pools, and a nice little grocery store. Plus, the Ocean Beach strip was a fun place to visit with some tasty restaurants. The owner had some great recommendations to help us find places to visit. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Schindler

My family and I live inland year round, and recently purchased our getaway beach cottage that we’d love to share with you.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway in this beach town - our cottage is perfect for you. The neighborhood is mostly owner occupied, with families and OBceans that have lived here for generations. On certain nights, you can hear the waves crashing on the cliffs.

What makes this property unique

The immaculate cottage was redecorated in Nov 2019 with all new furnishings and amenities. The classic original kitchen and bathroom counters lend to the old school beach vibe. The shower and toilets are brand new. The large backyard is great for outdoor dining and relaxing, as well as the large front decks for soaking up the So Cal sunsets!
