About this property

San Diego Surf Shack #6 -1/2 Block to the Pacific!

About this space
San Diego Surf Shack #6 (think small cottage with a beach vibe) just 100 ft from the Pacific and a 5 minute walk to the sand! It's a 200sq ft studio, very cozy. It features a luxurious bed, kitchen, HD TV, and blazing fast WiFi. The bathroom is airplane size, and includes a shower, but no tub. 100 steps to reach the top of the stairs that lead down to the beach!

1) No Extra Guests or Additional Guests beyond the number in the reservation.
2) No Pets
3) This isn't a party house.
The space
It's cute. It's quirky. It feels like a camp, but it's 100ft to the beach and in the middle of everything Ocean Beach and San Diego have to offer. Within 2 blocks of restaurants, bars, shops, yoga studios, fishing, and surfing. Take advantage of our kitchen for meals, or venture out and sample some awesome San Diego restaurants during your stay here! Start the morning off right with some coffee in the kitchen, or pick up coffee at one of the numerous neighborhood coffee stands and walk two blocks to the beach for a stroll as you watch the surf. We are blocks from some of San Diego's most iconic beach spots. Have a hamburger at Hodad's or get a scoop of ice cream between two flavored freshly made mini-waffles at Lighthouse. Also, eating at the quirky restaurant way out at the end of the Ocean Beach Pier is something that shouldn't be missed. Of course, there is a BBQ grill, and it's always a good time to cook out. After lunch, head back home and take a nap or relax on the deck. If you like shopping, you are virtually 10-20 minutes from any destination in the greater San Diego Metro area. I would suggest starting with the cool little shops a couple blocks away on Newport Ave for the original artwork. At night, you have a number of really incredible options. On one of the nights of your stay, you have to walk down the beach and have a bonfire in one of the beach fire pits. It's an absolute imperative... a must do beach experience. The smell and sound of the ocean, the feel of the sand, the smell of the fire, the taste of the s'mores...... We also have the restaurant Beau Bo just a couple blocks away for a romantic dinner. Try the lobster risotto. ...and there are so many other great restaurants within walking distance: Kaiserhoff, OB Noodle House, etc For Touristy stuff... well, the beach is two blocks away. Step out on the sidewalk and look to your left. It's that blue thing where the land ends. SeaWorld is a five minute drive. The World Famous San Diego Zoo is a ten minute drive away. Disneyland is a ninety minute drive.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very responsive, welcoming, and provided great recommendations in the area. The location was perfect…close to the beach, great food, and entertainment. The room is cute. The bathroom and shower are small, as described in the posting. It’s a great place for 1-2 people. My husband and I love Ocean Beach!
Beautiful place to watch the sunset, 2 blocks away

Doug was a great host. There is no better bang for your buck this close to the beach with epic views just steps away. I arrived during El Niño so the heat wave and the size of the ocean’s waves was atypical of San Diego. My reflection on the room temperatures during my visit would not be the norm. I think a box fan instead of the window would have worked a little better than the tower style fans to really pull the air from outside in without leaving the door open. I’d still do it all over again.The grill is an excellent addition to the property and the outdoor common grounds are just as lovely as they appear in the photos. All appliances in the room worked amazingly and there was an excellent selection of herbs, spices, seasoning, oil, utensils.Parking was a real BeAach for me. However, I travel with my 5 yo daughter who has the worst timing for needing to void. If you are planning on staying out after 4:00, I’d recommend spending the extra 10 and get a room with a designated parking spot in back. Also, keep in mind, San Diego is outside of your room. Get out there, explore, and make memories. Thanks again Doug, we’ll be back!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location of this property is fantastic and was definitely the highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, the property itself has a lot of room for improvement.Cleanliness was our biggest concern. The fans and windows were extremely dirty—honestly, pretty gross—and in San Diego’s warm, and this particular weekend humid weather, having clean, functional airflow is especially important. The landscaping was also poorly maintained and made the property feel neglected.We also experienced a loud domestic dispute with one of the neighboring tenants around midnight, which was unsettling and certainly affected our stay.This property has a ton of potential because the location is awesome. With a much stronger focus on cleanliness, landscaping, and general property upkeep, it could be a great place to stay. Unfortunately, based on our experience, it did not live up to that potential.We knew we weren’t signing up for luxury with this place, however we expected better.
