You can’t get much luckier than this. The house is on the beach as shown in the photo of the terrific view from the dining room. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, it is within easy walking distance of coffee, dining, groceries, and shopping. We did not go swimming, (brr! April!) but enjoyed walking and sitting near the shore. Ocean Beach is a wonderful central location with a low-key, friendly vibe, and we could easily drive to the Zoo, and Balboa Park, Point Loma, Coronado Island, etc. The house itself was a great home base! Art (including many of her own pieces and mosaics)adorns the walls. There was plenty of comfortable seating for all 5 of us, and the beds and rooms were also excellent. Loved that windows opened and we could get a nice sea breeze and hear the waves. Big, well-equipped kitchen, private patio, beach gear/chairs/towels all made it easy to relax here. Host was great. Highly recommend this retreat on your visit to San DIego! Can’t wait to return!
