Shops close by, beach also. Nice outside area. An older house with class. Reminded me of going to my grandma's house when I was 8 and I'm 78 now. Modern conveniences. Refrig did not have an ice maker, had to buy 2 ice cube trays. Left them with the house. Not having to park in the street a bonus.

It is wonderful that the house brought back such fond memories and that you enjoyed the outdoor space and private parking. Thank you for adding those ice trays; we will look into a more permanent ice solution for the kitchen. We appreciate you staying at our San Diego vacation rental and would love to host you again!
Loved; the location within easy walk of the ocean and so many restaurants. Alao on several bus routes to Old Town or Balboa Park. Plenty of space indoor and out.

Keri,
Thank you for staying and the great comments! We would love to have you back again soon.
This three-bedroom home was perfect for the family. Clean and close to the beach and town. The gated driveway was perfect for our car but might be too short if you have a long vehicle. The kitchen had everything we needed to serve a nice Thanksgiving dinner.

Roy,
Thank you for staying with us during Thanksgiving! Please come back again soon!
Great little beach property close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Made for a great place to stay to enjoy San Diego and to allow our surfing-obsessed boys plenty of time to surf.
Only thing to note is that the 4th bed is an inflatable. Would have been great if that was in the property description.

Nick,
Thank you for staying with us and the great comments. We Will make sure the description is updated as well!
All was great except there was a smell coming from the master bedroom shower drain that the owners tried to remedy, but was never fixed during our stay.

Lesli,
We do apologize about the issues, but as the plumber mentioned it was not an issue with the shower or any of the drains. The smell was coming from next door, which we had the neighbors remedy.
Excellent location! 15 min drive or less to all tourist attractions. Groceries and shopping within walking distance. Fun town! The management company was very responsive. Couple minor things that could be disclosed a bit better. There are 3 bedrooms with 3 queen beds. There is not a twin bed, there was an air mattress but no bedding for it. We left food in wrappers on counter and woke up to ants. There was not paper towel and limited toilet paper. We did have to buy during our stay.

Michele,
Thank you for staying with us. The twin bed is the air mattress, and we keep extra linens in the hall closet and in the master bedroom closet. We do leave paper towels and a starter kit, per the check in instructions.
It was my first time renting a beach house in San Diego and I was blessed to find this one. Ocean Beach is now my favorite place in San Diego. The house is in walking distance to Newport St and the beach, the house accommodated 4 adults and 1 child very well, and Titan Beach Rentals was extremely easy to work with.
We were able to check in hours early, check out an hour late, and were left alone to enjoy our time there and relax.
The front yard is great for rinsing off after spending time at the beach, the patio furniture and BBQ created a great space to eat and hang with the fam, and we left with almost all clean clothes.
Even though the beach is really 3 blocks from the house, the location is amazing and I will definitely stay there again if it’s available.

Aaron,
Thank you so much, and we are excited to hear you enjoyed working with us and staying at the property. Look us up for your next trip!
It was a fine place to stay as long as you don’t mind 6:30 am wake up call - every morning! Planes from SAN fly directly over the house. Other than that, it was fine. The constant plane traffic makes sitting outside a little noisy!

We appreciate you staying with us and are glad the rest of the experience was fine! Being in the heart of the coastal action does mean being under the San Diego International Airport flight path, which is a common part of the vibrant Point Loma and Ocean Beach experience.
For travelers looking for a convenient San Diego vacation rental near the beach and airport, we aim to provide a great home base. Thank you for choosing Titan Beach Rentals, and we hope to host you again!
