This was an amazing place to stay! It was right across the street from the beach. It’s very close too many restaurants for delicious meals. And lots of things to do in the surrounding area. It was definitely a dream come true.

Great place to stay

This place is great! Right across from the beach and around the corner from all of the restaurants! House was clean and had ample space! The bathroom is somewhat small, Butt hat is expected at beach houses in the area! I would definitely stay here again!

Beach Getaway

This property is easy to access and beautiful. I love the location and the set up of the rooms. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is beautiful. I love the stove. I do have a few minor things.... the trash outside was full when we arrived on a Monday (trash day was Monday morning) so we had a ton of flies near the entrance. Secondly the house has a lot of delivery trucks that roll of super close and are very loud. I would recommend bringing ear plugs and sleep aids. Overall, it was worth the money. We had a blast! My kids had an amazing time daily because we walked to dog beach, the tide pools and the ice cream shop.

Will not use this rental company again. While the rental was in a good spot and fit our family perfectly. We ended up having a situation with one of their trash cans (not ours) that had not been taken out that resulted maggots EVERYWHERE. They ended up getting into the house in two separate spots. They sent people out to try to fix the problem hours later, but it was so bad. I am so disgusted one was even in my toe!. No one from the vacation rental company even reached out to apologize or try to make it right. If there would have some kind of accountability taken I probably wouldn’t be writing this review. Bad business practices in my opinion.

Everything was wrong

A big mistake from the start. They said there was something wrong with my address, and it came down to the wire till we had that fixed. We drove all the way from Oklahoma and wanted an early check in cause we were going to a Padre’s game and we need to get our dog settled before we went. We called all day and they never responded until one hour before our designated check in time. I contacted her enough time in advance and she couldn’t accommodate us. In resort of this I had to go rent a room at another motel for the afternoon for only my dog, which is pure bs! There were also several appliances that were broken, the night before we left our bed frame broke and maintenance only but a cider block underneath it, are you kidding me! The only thing that was positive about this stay was the view of the ocean and the beach. Bottom line, I would not recommend this place to anyone if staying in Ocean Beach.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Feb, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points. Regarding the early check-in request, unfortunately it was not available as we had guests checking out the same day and our housekeeping team was actively preparing the home to ensure it was ready and properly cleaned for your arrival. While we understand the inconvenience, we’re unable to guarantee early access when same-day turnovers are in place. Concerning communication, we apologize if our response timing felt delayed. Our team did respond prior to the standard check-in time, and we always do our best to accommodate requests when possible. The bed issue was reported later in the day on your final night. Our handyman addressed it immediately with a temporary fix so you could comfortably finish your stay, and we can confirm the bed frame has since been fully replaced. There were no reports of broken appliances made during your stay, but we always encourage guests to let us know right away if something isn’t working so we can address it promptly. We’re glad you enjoyed the ocean and beach views, which are truly a highlight of the property.

Location

My husband, best friend and I stayed here last year so we came back. Still great location. The noise level was much higher, more people and planes flying overhead. More deliveries from large trucks. Less homeless. Great Wednesday night street fair. Walk everyday on the beach with the pups. The place is spacious and we love the two extra rooms at the front especially the glassed in patio. Heads up…They have a ‘starter kit’ of supplies. One roll of TP, 1 tea towel and 2rolls of paper towels. No couch throws to keep warm at night.

Ocean Beach

The unit was not really listed as seen. Advertising showed a clear picture of the ocean. Not true. There were cars almost totally blocking our view. Trash trucks. Some by 3-4 times a day right next to our bedroom. The air conditioner had a humming/wining noise 24 hours a day. Guest unable to sleep in guest room. There were no lounge or beach chairs to use to go to beach. Would not stay here again

Not a good fit

This property was extremely noisy. From the renters upstairs moving furniture and clomping around all night, to the bongo music across the street until midnight, topped off with a very loud a/c unit in the living room, it was difficult getting sleep. Then there was the parking area that was being torn up due to a plumbing problem right smack in front of the view windows for the ocean view (blocked). This construction also eliminated the parking! Our whole group agreed we’d never stay here again.

Great and fun location!

My husband and BFF travel together often. We will come back to this unit. Why, Ocean Brach is extremely dog friendly! The pups can be on the beach before 9 am and after 6pm. They are allowed in most establishments. We loved the enclosed patio where we played games and watch the people. We all felt like we were back in the 69’s! Loved the street fair. The only negative was the air conditioning did not work. They sent out people but it needed more work. Very stuffy at night and the fan was to dirty to use. I don’t think the cleaning couple really did a great job. Floor was dirty and the kitchens table wasn’t cleaned properly. We look forward to coming back for more stays. !!

Best rental on Abott st.

This location can not be beat! We really enjoyed our outdoor enclosed patio which was great for safety in terms of covid-19. The layout of the house was perfect for getting a little indoor exercise for our puppy. If you love OB then this rental will put you in the heart of it. Laundry is a little inconvenient but overall a great place to stay.

Super close to beach but noisy at evening

The apartment is great location across the beach, close to walking distance to restaurants. Apartment was clean and spacious for the convenient location. However, on most of the evening there are lots of noise around the place. On Wednesday evening, they have farmers market on the evening which was cool, but drum playing in front of the apartment till midnight! If you are looking for quiet evening with beach sounds, this may not be the place to stay.

Better than expected!

Upgrades are amazing! We have been staying in this condo over the past 15 years. This year was the best because the new arrangement added an extra "bedroom" which was perfect for our family. The enclosed patio was a great space to hangout and watch the sunset or people pass by. Because our stay was during COVID it was great to have such a nice place to hangout . As always the food at the local resturants was great (Hodads, Mikes Tacos, Surf Rider Pizza, Filippis in Little Italy and Extraordinary Desserts) Looking forward to next time! Thank you!

Chili cook off 2019

For the 26 years my husband and his family have been attending the ocean beach street fair and chili cook off. As we have a large family, hotels are just to small and this property right next to the hotel was amazing!!! There were plenty of beds and towels for us all. Plus there was room to stretch out. We will definitely will be booking this property in the future. Signed the Keene family
