About this house rental
This 3200 sq" 4 bedroom, 3 bath, open concept, Spanish style villa, comfortably sleeps 10 guests and is located above downtown Ocean Beach with views of the Pacific Ocean, Mission Bay/Beach and Soledad Mountain. Just 3 miles from SD International Airport, the home itself is a short 4 blocks to the sand. It is air conditioned and has upgraded 2000 GB fiber optic WiFi available from AT&T. It has the highest grade insulation (R-23) as a barrier to internal & external sound plus dual pane windows throughout. The main floors and stairs are European Oak. Ceilings are 9', lighting is all LED, and you'll find ceiling fans throughout the home. Doors are stain grade Knotty Alder, all 8' tall. The kitchen was designed with the gourmet cook in mind. All appliances are top of the line and cooking utensils are extensive. You’re only a short walk to the beach and business district – a wonderfully eclectic small town offering 60+ restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.
Sea World is also nearby, close enough to see from the house, with occasional summer fireworks. Downtown San Diego is just a short drive, as is the famed San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and the Old Globe Theater. If fishing interests you, hop over the hill to Pt. Loma and Shelter Island, or if you’re a golfer, River Walk is just 4 miles down the freeway. Uber is $25 one way to the famed Gas Lamp district downtown as well as Little Italy and Old Town near Presidio Park.
The driveway to the house can accommodate two vehicles. Step into the street in front of the house for a view to the end of the famous Ocean Beach Pier and beyond. Seagulls, parrots and the sound of ocean waves will greet you as you step into the house to an open and spacious living area filled with stylish furniture and a cozy fireplace – perfect for curling up with your favorite book. The dining room has a wall of windows with doors that open up to the wrap-around deck, complete with a 3-burner Weber gas grill and chaise loungers where you can soak up the big, beautiful, blue skies and ocean views, famous to southern California. The view from this deck is magnificent and words alone cannot describe the majestic scene that is sure to take your breath away. A fire table provides that special evening ambiance to gather and talk about the days activities.
The King master with en-suite shower/tub bath is located on the main level of the house and boasts Pella sliding glass doors to the attached deck with Pacific Ocean white water views to take in as you relax on your king size bed. Keep the doors open in the evening to relish in the ocean breezes and barking seals as they play on the Ocean Beach jetty. This house is very private. Locked gates protect all access other than the front door.
The front Queen bedroom, also with an en-suite bath with walk in shower, is complete with top of the line sheets and pillows, night stands, chest of drawers, generous closet, ceiling fan, and gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean.
Across the hall, a bunk bed room sleeps 2 on a full size memory foam mattress and a single on top provides additional sleeping arrangements. A work desk is set up in this room with rolling desk chair and internet hookup all behind a beautiful 5' sliding barn door. All bedrooms come with plush pile carpeting.
The fourth bedroom, downstairs, is privately separate from the rest of the house, may be accessed internally or externally, and is located on the lower level with an attached full bath with walk-in shower. There is also a recreation/living room located downstairs with a 45" flat screen TV, futon couch, foosball, and Pac Man video game. Additional sleeping arrangements are available, in this area, in the form of a single or Queen size Aero Bed as well as the futon. A full outdoor patio and BBQ with westerly views of the Pacific is located within this area as well.

It does have its own entrance, thus the coming and goings of you and your group will not be disrupted in any way. The owners may or may not be in residence during your stay.******
Even with over 60 options of restaurants, all within walking distance, ranging from barefoot off the beach to upscale and elegant, there will still be times where making a wonderful meal at home can add to the relaxing vacation experience.

Communications with the hosts were great right from booking. Carl responsed promptly to questions and was kind. The house is at the top of a hill above Ocean Beach. It’s a great work out to go down and back. The garage is packed full of things you might want for a beach outing. The house is clean and comfortable and great for families. Kitchen is great too and the game room was a hit.

This was our second stay at this lovely home. We used to live in the neighborhood and bring our family back every year. We've stayed at several great properties but this one tops our list! It's incredibly well stocked, great for families and the hosts could not be more welcoming. We'll be back for a third stay soon!

The house was clean and was exactly as advertised. Great location, hosts are eager to please and very accommodating. It was hard to believe but everyone who stays here has the same great experience. We’ll be back!

My mom was raised in OB and we wanted to bring her back for some nostalgia. Six adults and two children had an incredible 7 night stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed while there. The garage was full stocked with beach items which was extremely helpful. The walk was steep, but very manageable to downtown (our party of 8 did it multiple times a day). The neighborhood was very quiet other than the overhead flights, which we quickly adjusted too. Carl was very attentive and responded quickly to any questions throughout the week. We hope to return again soon!

This house was a dream! We had a party of 8 kids/adults and enjoyed this home for our vacation. There was enough space for everyone, it was comfortable and kid friendly. The location was perfect and the neighborhood was lovely for walking. We planned to cook together for meals and then kitchen was well suited for this. The home was comfortable and clean. My kids gave it two thumbs up- they loved the bunk beds and game area downstairs, plus the beach supplies for our use. The owners were super nice and checked in throughout the trip. Highly recommend!!

This home was a wonderful location and experience for our family of 10 visiting to celebrate graduation from UCSD. The owner was attentive to all the details, even installing a baby gate at the stairs for the protection of our 3 year old granddaughter. The rooms were spacious with everything you needed and it was great to have the 3 bathrooms. We loved the kitchen and how well appointed it was all the equipment you could need and we cooked breakfast everyday there. It was also really nice that there was plenty of seating both for dining and relaxing. Of course, you can't leave a review of this place without commenting on the view over the ocean and Mission Bay, it's just beautiful!
I will say that the airplane departure noise was a bit of nuisance (the departure path crosses overhead), but it doesn't run at night so it didn't disturb our sleep. The check-out procedures were super reasonable and made the wrap up on the last day just as easy as the rest of the stay. All-in-all a very lovely stay and I would definitely stay there again and recommend it without any hesitation!

This property is amazing and we enjoyed our stay so much! Breathtaking views, green parrots in the loquat tree outside, and the house had every detail/need covered. Carl was so helpful and kind! We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for the great memories!

Family trip of 3 generations. We enjoyed our stay immensely! The house is absolutely beautiful and very well appointed. Every time we went looking for (you name it), we would open a drawer or closet, and there it was. The decor was so tastefully done and very comfortable. We were very impressed with the kids' playroom that kept our 2 and 4 year olds occupied. We will definitely want to book again next time we visit San Diego!

We stayed at Carl and Vicky’s house for almost 2 months. We had friends and family visit during our stay and the house perfectly met all of our needs. Carl and Vicky were very respectful of our privacy and extremely responsive to whatever we needed. There’s probably a repeat visit to this property and its owners!

We enjoyed such a great family trip at your beautiful property! The house was spacious, comfortable, and we felt right at home!
It was great having the downstairs area for teenagers.
The location was awesome. The beach, the zoo, downtown San Diego, Hotel Del, Sea World… all short rides away.
We started our day with coffee on the back deck and watched the sun go down in the same spot with a glass of wine.
I hope we can return one day! Highly recommend

Beautiful property exactly as described in the listing. The house was very clean and stocked with everything you could need. The kitchen had high end finishes and even tho we didn’t cook while we were there, it had everything we would need. The bedding was soft & comfy and each bathroom clean with nice towels and stocked with basic toiletries. We’ve stayed in several vrbo homes and this was our favorite. It had everything to keep us comfortable and although we didn’t have little ones with us - they provided many comforts for them too - sound machines & playpens, etc. Any group, any age would enjoy this space. The views from the deck were breathtaking and that’s where we spent most of our time. The nights were chilly but there was a fire table and heat lamp to keep us warm. It’s a short walk to the beach and many restaurants but the walk does have a few blocks that were very steep. It was too challenging for our elderly mother to walk but we could drive the few blocks and found parking without much trouble. Being at the top of that hill gave us spectacular views! We would definitely recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay again.

If this property is available for your dates book it don't miss out.My family 6 adults and 3 children ages 4 to 11all loved this property, it offered so much more than any place else that we have stayed in. The host has provided many games for both adults and children. The beds, linen, towels and kitchen appliances are all extremely high quality and all the hot water you need for a large group. Plenty of beach toys, both adult and child beach chairs, umbrellas, mats,and cooler. The host was accessible and helpful when we requested help planning where to go. We would definitly stay here again

Close to all the normal sight-seeing locales. We told them we had a nine month old and a 4 year old. They had the baby gate, high chair and pack-n-play ready for us. One of the best VRBO units we’ve stayed in. Easy parking in the neighborhood.

This house was perfect for our family gathering. We enjoyed the view, the space, and the proximity to all the areas we visited in San Diego. We will have particularly fond memories of hosting family and cheering on our K-State Wildcats in the living room as they won two NCAA bball games.

My family of four, including two teenagers, had a marvelous stay at this gorgeous property. Each of our teens had their own bedroom AND bathroom. My wife and I enjoyed the ocean view from the master bedroom.
The property appears to be newly remodeled - the fit and finish of the materials used is top notch. The kitchen is a joy to cook in especially with its high-end stainless steel appliances. The property was very clean and the host provided exceptional communication before and during our visit. I highly recommend this property.

The house was very spacious and well appointed for our family of 7 adults and one baby (17 months). We gathered there for Christmas from across the country. Perfect location. Beautiful views. Close to all the major attractions. The hosts were very gracious and provided a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations. The large kitchen had everything we needed to prepare family meals. It was a great first visit to San Diego. We’ll definitely return!

We were in San Diego during a historic heatwave, and we were SO thankful that the house had AC -- or else it would have been miserable with 2 toddlers!
The house is beautiful and very well equipped for families. Anything you would need in a kitchen, they have it. Additionally, they have cups, plates, and utensils for little ones. You can tell it's a grandparent's house because of all the little comforts for toddlers/kids - like a sound machine, high chair, toys & games, pack and play, beach toys and kid chairs, baby gate on top of the stairs etc.
Carl was extremely responsive to all our questions.
The views from the house are AMAZING. While hosing down our things outside (after our beach trip), I didn't mind the blazing heat at all, thanks to the beautiful view that kept me company.
The house is on top of a hill though, so it's not really walkable to the beach if you're going with family and have things to tow. So you'll need to find parking near beach.

This is such a wonderful house! It was very clean & comfortable. The 4 bedrooms are spread out so everyone had their own space, and the large open living room & kitchen made hanging out together easy and comfortable.
The view from the patio is gorgeous-- the perfect place to have some coffee (traditional pot & Keurig provided) while the kids are still thinking about waking up.
We really appreciated all the extras provided-- sound machines, baby gate for stairs, etc, which made things more convenient. There were also some board books & toys for kids, and puzzles & games & books for older guests.
Our group of 7 ranged in age from 1 to 70 years & everyone enjoyed their holiday & would choose to stay here again. Thank you so much to Carl & Viki for being such wonderful hosts!

My family comes back to San Diego every year and we've stayed in a lot of properties and this one tops the list for us. It's a beautiful location, very clean and maybe the best stocked rental we've ever stayed in. The owners were incredibly kind. We were there for three weeks and don't have any complaints. Would definitely stay here again!

PERFECT Beach Retreat
Our family of 10 (ages 70 to 6yrs old) spent 7 days at this wonderful home. Carl and Vicki were the perfect host and provided everything imaginable for your stay.
From the moment you pull into the driveway, you feel like you are at home. The house is situated at the top of the hill (pretty steep, but very walkable) which provides MILLION DOLLAR views of the Pacific and the Bay. You can enjoy the hustle and bustle of Ocean Beach during the day and then retreat to your peaceful oasis at night. Watching the sunset every night was one of the many highlights of the trip.
The house provided a well stocked open kitchen with top notch appliances and cookware, comfortable beds and linen, and plenty of space where everyone could spread out and do their own thing. A bbq grill and fire pit are also located on the deck for those who wish to partake in their use.
We will defiantly book again on our return trip to sunny San Diego!
**TIP** if walking to the beach from the house, use Newport Ave, it is not as steep.

Nicely remodeled, clean home in a great location with views
This is a recently significantly remodeled home (feels in many respects like a new build) that was super clean and had a really nice layout for a vacation home. Very open layout in the middle with three bedrooms that are separate from each other. The home has thoughtful touches like up-down blinds and too many other features to list. We did not use or even access the basement bedroom and bathroom that is in the description, but our kids did enjoy the Pac Man game and foosball table in the basement. The basement ceiling is relatively low but a perfect place for kids. Laundry is in the basement. Hosts were not on site for check-in and that was no issue at all — the remote check in went smoothly and they were very responsive by text to questions. The neighborhood was quiet and low key while we were there, which we appreciated. You can walk to fun shops and restaurants, but the immediate area is residential. The views are really great. Parking is really easy. We would definitely consider this home again for our next trip to San Diego if it is available.

Graduation Celebration
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was in the perfect location and centrally located to all the things we wanted to do while in San Diego for my daughter's graduation. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the views off the balcony beautiful. If ever we plan another family trip to San Diego, we'll definitely book your home again.

Amazing house, great location!
Let me start off by saying Carl and Vicki were great hosts and this house was amazing. We had two families that stayed in the house, each with two children and their ages ranged from 3-8. The house worked perfectly for both of our families. The kids shared two bedrooms and the adults shared the other two. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to containers for taking snacks to the beach and top of the line appliances (stove, refrigerator, coffee maker etc.). Every room was cleaned to perfection when we arrived and we felt like royalty staying in such a beautiful property. The view from the deck of the beach and the ocean was priceless and we spent many hours there enjoying our morning coffees and late night fires by the fire pit. That view could not be beat. The house also came with books and board games for the families to enjoy.
The basement was the perfect place for the kids to hang out and play. They had a TV with all the cartoon channels the kids could want, books to read, foosball and a pac-man arcade game that was very popular among both the kids and adults. It was such a cozy area that it was hard to get the kids out of there when we were leaving the house. The garage is stocked full of beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas so a trip to the beach was complete in every way.
Carl and Vicki were tremendous hosts who live upstairs and are very personable and easy to contact if you have any questions about anything. We all highly recommend this house, you will not be disappointed!

OB Family vacay
Nine of us (ages 2-66) had a great time at this beautiful home in OB! Spacious, comfortable, well equipped with beautiful views of the ocean and Mission Beach, it was the perfect place to base our trip to SD. Carl and Vicki are perfect hosts. Responsive when you have a question but otherwise let you enjoy their property without intruding. Highly recommend for discerning families without any reservation!

Great home and location
We visited with some family and friends for my wife's 40th birthday. The home is spacious, clean, and in walking distance of many restaurants and activities. The hosts called us on check in and walked us through some basics. They also check in occasionally throughout our stay, which was very nice of them to do. The patio deck was perfect for colder nights as it has a space heater and propane firepit. We would recommend this location to anyone, but it was really perfect for families. Thanks! Nik and Tiffanie Turner

We were in San Diego to celebrate our Grandson's 2nd birthday.
The house was kid friendly and comfortable for adults. It had everything and more to enjoy time together. The location is great, close to OB and a short car ride to major attractions.
Thanks to our responsive hosts Vicki and Carl!!
