Dora is very communicative. She even was able to help answer some questions about the area. The weather wasn't great and the power went out but before I could message her Dora already let me know it was the whole area and would be back on soon. Bonus the property is a short walk to the beach. We had a great time! Would stay here again!!

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better beach getaway. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The location was fantastic since it’s just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to catch beautiful sunrises and spend plenty of time by the ocean.The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. We truly felt at home and appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing beach escape!

We enjoyed our stay loved the location, the tide pools and how comfortable the bed was. The casita was a bit small and the driveway was a pretty tight fit which was stressful but other than that we would definitely recommend!

Everything was perfect . From first checking in until we left . Dora was an exceptional host . The air was on , water in the fridge . I'm not tech savvy fortunately Dora lives close by to let us in . Parking was great , enough room for an additional car incase someone stops by . Inside was clean , plenty of towels and blankets . Plenty of places in the neighborhood to eat or just walk around and grab a good cup of coffee . Big box stores where also close by . Beach is supper close . Our little guy had no trouble hanging out . Lots of beach toys . Everything was as posted and more . Thank you Dora for a great time .

This Casita was perfect for our time in San Diego! It was larger than I expected and perfect for mw my daughter and grandson! It would comfortably fit a couple with two kiddos! It was walking distance to everything. Was a little bummed the pier was closed and has been for over a year and expected to be for several more year but we still enjoyed every minute!

Nice little place to stay within walking distance to ocean

The property is small and just enough to enjoy yourself at. The best part is the location so close to ocean beach and the restaurants

About the host

Hosted by Dora Rico

Host profile image
Matias and I met in Chicago and were raising our family. He always said he wanted to come back to live in San Diego. He had attended SDSU and lived in Ocean Beach in the late 60's early 70's. I thought I'd give it a try and we've lived in San Diego for 23 years.

Why they chose this property

We first purchased this house as an investment property knowing that one day when our nest emptied we'd move into it ourselves. We love it in Ocean Beach and know you will too.

What makes this property unique

Everything you need is walking distance. The Beach, Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Convenient Stores and more. Ocean Beach is a unique community where the 60's nostalgia keeps on living. It is a very laid back, open-minded, colorful community. The Casita has a parking space for your use which you will appreciate especially if you're staying during the summer and festival dates.
