Beautiful Ocean Beach is just 1 short block away and delicious restaurants, fun nightlife, and great shopping are right at your fingertips….literally right at your fingertips! This condo is connected to the world famous Pizza Port Brewery, which is home to award winning microbrews, and is located above the Brewery.

After a long day of soaking in the San Diego sun and hitting the town, the upstairs large king bedroom with spectacular ocean views - and an upgraded ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and soaking tub - is the perfect retreat for quiet and relaxation. The bedroom and bathroom are also furnished with an ample supply of premiere linens for your ultimate comfort.
The brand new designer kitchen - featuring granite counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, large prep space, and counter seating for five - will make you think twice about dining at OB’s hot spots.

Spacious, walkable, great rooftop patio with ocean views. But frustrating that it isn’t well-maintained. Most of the blinds were broken-some stuck halfway. Several canister lights burned out, remotes all needed batteries as did the door lock..these were frustrating, and made it a mixed experience for us soon N extended stay.

Perfect location for people who like to have fun. One Block from the beach and one block from Newport its the perfect location for people who like to walk to bars, restaurants, cafe's and the beach. The roof top deck has a view of the ocean and is worth the price all on its own. Cant wait to stay here again. Its close to a lot of nightlife so I would not say its a quiet area but if you like fun its the place to be.

The apartment was cozy, great living space, extra nice to have two bathrooms. The parking situation is a bit hard, a lot of the street parking is 2 hours during the day, so it's hard to find somewhere to leave a car.

We stayed at this property last summer, hence why we chose to stay again this year. However, when we arrived we found a large hole in the secondary bathroom ceiling, and the floor covered with paper, obviously fixing a leak or something in the ceiling. We proceed to have three bad leaks from the ceiling in that bathroom, in the main bathroom and the floor in the master bedroom was leaking water up through the floor boards, and leaking out to the second floor balcony. We were unable to keep anything on that floor (like suitcases etc, as they would get soaked) All of the cushions on the roof top deck were very beat but, many with holes and rips. The location is great, and easy to get to the beach and attractions in Ocean Beach, however the property itself was not up to snuff. When we called the property manager regarding the leaks they said they would call us back and get them fixed, they did not call back and when I called them they said they could not find anyone to come out. They gave us a credit for one night, upon complain further they credited one more night. Honestly, if we had been advised of the issues prior to our stay, we would have decided to stay elsewhere. We won't be back.

We enjoyed our stay, however, there is a huge issue with street parking. It is just not readily available. Once we found a parking sport we just took Uber and left our car parked.
Beautiful view from the balcony, just a quick walk to the beach, shops, grocery store and restaurants.

Great place to say, quick walk to the beach. Love having two bathrooms, even for just two people. The cushions on the upper deck need to be replaced, but the view was awesome. We will stay again next summer.
6.0
The location is unbeatable with the beach, bars, and restaurants right outside the door, but this place is pretty dingy. It needs a coat of paint, it needs dry wall patched, it needs rooftop cushions replaced, it needs blinds replaced (most are ripped/broken and barely function), and it needs a thorough deep cleaning (we found popcorn and a half-empty water bottle as well a lot of dust). The bed is like comedically squishy and soft. The pillows are old and flat. There was not fitted sheet on the bed, jut a flat sheet. It's nice to have two bathrooms and air conditioning. It's nice being so close to Pizza Port, but their employees will definitely hang out on the stoop and vape. I have mixed feelings. This place served its purpose, and we had an absolutely excellent vacation, but don't let the gleaming pictures in the post mislead you.

We just left this adorable place! This place was perfect walking distance to everything we needed. Rooftop was great to hang out and so close to beach. Remember to read all street signs as we missed one covered by the trees and got a citation. Other than that it was perfect and next time we will bring our dog since everywhere is pretty dog friendly.

Honestly, great place to stay! Perfect location. The home was stocked with everything we needed and it was clean. The one thing I absolutely dreaded about this place was the parking situation. There was no assigned parking so when we got in, we had to lug our suitcases down two blocks. Not terrible and honestly will be returning in the future!

Super close to the beach and heart of OB on Newport Street. Big space with well equipped kitchen, Hulu and Netflix on both tv's in the living room and bedroom. Washer, dryer coffee maker even though Starbucks right down the sidewalk. Catch great sunsets from the entire private rooftop. As far as parking goes...I parked for 5 days on a residential street 1 street over...just make sure it's not a street sweeping day and you will be all set as you won't need to drive anymore. OB has it all...my favorite place in all of San Diego ❤️

Beware of this Property
Where do i begin with this FOREVER NIGHTMARE
First things first and this applies to a rentals, do not assume that the listing accurately represents what you are in good faith renting
Get there and while walking up the outside stairs i observe that both screens having been ripped and frames broken in an attempt to open the windows. Open the door and the first things you see through kitchen windows is a broken down bamboo fence ( i’ll get back to that ) attempting the screen the roof of the attached pizza pub. Instead you are greeted by a minimum of 4 exhaust spewing smoke with grease running down the sides, 2 discarded satellite dishes, old mops, old planters with the dead plants inside them, old floor runners plus other garbage.
Go to the bedroom to unpack turn on the dimmer switch that controls the 8 can lights in the room which is broken so its either ON or OFF. There is no other lights except for some tacky white Xmas lights on the wall. Pull the bamboo shades up and the backing is in spreads, missing glass blocks in the shower as well
Get up in the morning to get a drink and take the dog out and down the steps from the roof top deck come 2 homeless that exited though that broken down bamboo fence and to the pizza pub roof and disappear. Go to the freezer to get ice and of course the as advertised ice maker doesn’t work
Call VRBO and tell them of these issues and i want to be relocated, they advised they wil make the “a priority” and will be on it. About 10 hours later the property management company call and the advised that the “operations team” will be keeping an eye on the place, I’m pissed. I advised them that the roof top deck is three floors out and they can’t see it…”our operations team will keep an eye on it”…”but they only work til 230am”. I’m speechless
So I decide to dig into the property more and begin to compare the “59 anemities” and the pictures to reality
The listing says it sleeps 4, I’d assume 2 in the bed and 2 on a pull out sofa, well the sofa is not a pull out you could sleep one on it only if he’s your enemy because it is the dirtiest nastiest couch, looks like its been used a few time on a porn set
-broken ice maker
-no beautifully strung Edison lights on the roof deck
-deck furniture is filthy
-no beautiful throw rugs or colorful pillows
-absolutely ZERO cleaning supplies not even aa broom but there was a an of black beans in the cupboard
-smoke detectors broken
- 3/4” of dirt on the a/c

Ocean beach
Very nice, private and has everything you need. Was a 10 minute walk to my daughter,s house. And rooftop patio with grill was really nice. Negatives: my biggest problem was the floors were dusty, needed a good vacuuming but I texted and they were cleaned the next day. Must be because we had a 1 year old crawling around that they still felt dirty. I bought swifter pads and cleaned them myself. Also the open shower got water all over the floor, could use a shower curtain. Otherwise the kitchen is big and has everything and nice tv area, 1 1/2 bathrooms are a plus! Would definitely stay there again!

Pros:
-Location is within walking distance to the beach, bars, restaurants, grocery stores
-Rooftop terrace has great views of the ocean
-Newly remodeled, spacious kitchen
Cons:
-Parking can be hard to find at times
-Parts of the apartment could use replacements (blinds are partially broken, patio furniture is missing some cushions)
-The listing previously incorrectly mentioned the unit has access to a gym (it does not). I believe the listing has since been corrected.
Overall a good place to stay, I would book again.

A cozy, stylish stay that's close to everything "OB" has to offer. We stayed 2+ weeks.
The pictures are accurate! Big private patio (the BEST you'll find in OB). Big, well-appointed kitchen. Quality bedding.
A great surfer's stay - you can see the surfers in the water and check out the conditions from the rooftop patio before you put on your wetsuit... it is 1 block from the beach with private laundry & enough space to dry your wetsuits/towels. Also 1 block from the Newport Ave, the heart of downtown OB. A 20 min drive to anything you may want to do in San Diego: rock climbing, shopping, downtown, airport, harbor, etc.
Other considerations:
Please be aware that there IS "city noise", typical of any city environment: adjacent restaurants/bars; vehicles & people on the streets; garbage collection; the occasional airplane overhead (~2.5 miles from airport). We enjoyed our stay, but we live in a large metropolitan area and are pretty used to "city noise".
There is no assigned parking, so you'll need to seek street parking & pay attention to parking rules. If you are used city parking, it's not a big deal. Uber/Ride-sharing is also a suitable alternative.
Vacasa service was prompt and courteous (usually same-day).

Winter Beach Escape
We had a great time on our short vacation here. The place was amazing and had everything we needed. The location is great as well, being so close to the beach and many shops and restaurants. We had a great experience. The only downfall is the parking issue. It was very difficult to find street parking during our stay. We loved the view from the rooftop balcony!
4.0
First off, this place is mostly fantastic. It’s spacious and well-appointed. The location - less than 2 blocks from the beach, in the thick of OB life - is great. The rooftop? Outstanding. Being attached to one of OB’s best pizza and brew pubs? Amazing.
Which makes the relatively minor issues more glaring. Mostly it’s just a lack of items that you’d find even in a hotel room - like hand towels and washcloths. But there’s also just some things that would make the place feel homier - like a lamp or two.
Again, none of this is dealbreaking - but be prepared to improvise or bring your own, especially with smaller linens and toiletries.

Great spot
We enjoyed our stay here. The unit is spacious. It was fun being above pizza port and within easy walking distance of the various bars and restaurants. The beach is right down the street as well. You’re kinda right in the party zone here and there are plenty of street creatures around so I’d say it’s more of a place for young people who want to enjoy the bars/restaurants rather than a family beach spot. The roof deck is awesome, plenty of furniture and great view. All in all we enjoyed it.

Nice place, cool location
Couple minor things. There were a couple of items that could used a little maintenance. Also, lights on the patio would be great.
All in all, great place, clean. Great location. Beach breeze all day. Close to the main strip, but not too close that you can hear the noise.

Loved OB!
We had a great time staying here! I loved that we had plenty of space for our family to relax in between going to the beach and checking out the great OB shops and restaurants. It was great having two bathrooms and the rooftop was spectacular. The location was perfect, right in the center of everything and a quick walk to the beach. We even enjoyed the downstairs brewery a couple times during our stay. Parking was challenging at times but we really didn't need the car to enjoy OB. There are some strange characters around the area but that's just part of OB's charm! We would definitely stay again.

Can’t beat the location
We have been visiting OB for many years and have always stayed at VRBO type properties. This is by far the best location. Loved that we were only a block from the beach and lots of great restaurants and shops. If you know OB you know the quirks- homeless people, not a lot of parking options…..location above pizza port was amazing. Not only do they have great food and beverages it was actually awesome smelling the pizza everyday! Super comfy bed, could have used a few more bathing towels but we made do! The rooftop deck amazing!! Loved spending mornings drinking coffee and evenings with a glass of wine watching the sunset.

Waited over 3 hrs to get into the house, when they finally gave us the green light to go in they gave us the wrong code! This house is managed by a management company Grocery store within walking distance was nice, pizza place below was okay but not great pizza. Homeless and sketchy people everywhere. Beach within walking distance but didn’t feel comfortable hanging out there. The house is cute and the roof top deck is awesome. The bed is so incredibly squeaky that if your a light sleeper sleep on the couch.

Perfect OB getaway!
We had an amazing stay at Forever Summer! The spacious/open floor plan & huge rooftop deck with the beautiful view of the ocean made it the best getaway to socially distance and relax. The wonderful smell of pizza was a pleasant bonus. It was very kid & pet friendly.
If you go to the beach early in the morning it was very easy to socially distance but got crowded later in the day but relaxing back at the condo/rooftop were perfect mid day & evenings. There are tons of restaurants nearby that you can call your order into as well as the Pizza Port just downstairs so just brought everything back & had all meals on the rooftop.
We thought the place was very clean and had no issues with ants like previous guests had commented. Parking was also not a major issue and easily found close parking...several times right in front of the building.

Close to everything/communication problems
First, the good: This property is in the heart of OB. If you're not familiar with the area, it's very busy and bustling. The main drag is one block away and so is the beach. It's exactly what we were looking for. If noise and a few homeless people hanging around nearby are going to bother you, then this is not the place for you. This property is on the second floor above Pizza Port Brewery and we spent lots of time on the rooftop deck above. It was a large condo and the extra 1/2 bath and laundry in the condo were perfect for our family of 4.
The bad: Property listing is incorrect, as it states that it "sleeps 4". The property management did not respond to multiple email messages and phone messages asking for clarification. Once I went ahead and booked, they finally responded and argued with me, saying that THEIR site lists it correctly but they'd offer an air mattress without charge (ya think?!).
Parking is also offered, although I agree they say not guaranteed. Guests can use a spot in the Pizza Port parking lot below. While I realize there may be times the lot is full, we had a reasonable expectation that we'd have access to a spot for at least some of our 4 night stay. This was one of the factors that went into us deciding to rent a vehicle vs Uber.
When we arrived, the parking lot was closed and was now outdoor dining- I get it, and great for them! But did this property give us a heads-up about it before we arrived? No. So we arrive at 2pm on a Saturday and had to circle for nearly an hour until we got lucky enough to find a spot. When I called to complain, they were again almost argumentative about it and kept repeating that parking wasn't guaranteed. Again, I understand that, but they knew the parking lot had been converted to dining and they didn't warn us of that. If we'd known, we would have just taken Uber to our condo. When I asked to talk to a manager, I was told they'd be back in the office "Sunday or Monday", and you guessed it, they never returned my call about this issue or offered any sort of apology or compensation.
The furniture on the rooftop deck was dirty, but I kind of expect that when they're just out and exposed to the elements. Investing in furniture covers would have been nice to keep it clean.
Overall, my complaints are really more with the property management company vs the property. They just need to be more upfront with guests. The condo itself was great and location can't be beat.

Quarantining near the beach
We live in San Diego and our house was going through a forced remodel. We got this apartment near the water and it was nice. We never used the sun roof but it had a nice view. The area is busy (even during quarantine). The apartment is convenient and well supplied with towels, linens, etc.. and had parking which is a big plus here. The kitchen is great. Overall we enjoyed it. It does have an ant problem. As soon as we reported it management sent us spray and traps, but they were relentless. I would still recommend it.

Great location
Sitting on top of the Pizza Port Brew Pub is not an issue since the bedroom is at the other end of the building and the restaurant does get quiet pretty early in the evenings. Rooftop patio is a nice retreat. Easy walk to everything and parking was never much of an issue.

Just ok
Location is decent and you can see the ocean from roof top deck. Lots of bars & restaurants in walking distance which is nice since parking can be an issue. The unit could have been cleaner & there were lots of ants (and ant traps). Overall all not bad if you want to stay in Ocean Beach. If you prefer a cleaner beach & area, Mission Beach or La Jolla would be a better location.

San Diego get a way
This was an overall good experience. Communication with the property manager could have been better. Details like check in process and WiFi details were unclear. The property was not very clean, I had to wipe down counters before I could use them and the floors were filthy. The location was amazing. Parking was an issue, would have been nice to have a parking spot designated to the property.

A perfect OB getaway
The best part about this property is its location. It's a one-block walk to the ocean, and only a few blocks walking distance over to Newport Avenue and all of the commercial parts of OB. The apartment is above Pizza Port, which is pretty fun (there's even a little window so you can peek down at the bar!). Most nights it wasn't loud, but we were staying over during the MLB finals, and the night of the Dodgers game was a little loud. However, no noise could be heard from the bedroom, so it didn't disrupt our sleep at all. When walking up the back stairs to the roof deck, there's a *slight* smell of pizza (who doesn't like the smell of pizza?), but you can't smell it inside the apartment at all.
The roof deck is really beautiful! It gives a perfect view of the area, and is really nice for watching the sunset. There's also a small balcony off the bedroom, which is great for people watching. However, as with all places in OB, the neighbors are *extremely* close, so it's really important to be conscious of the noise you may be making.
There is beach equipment available in the house; we really just used the beach towels, but it's a nice addition to have chairs and some other things available if needed.
The kitchen and living room are HUGE! And the kitchen is amazing; all new appliances, huge refrigerator, and even a wine fridge. The bathroom is also very spacious, and there is a half bath in the room where the washer/dryer are located. Detergent for the washer was generously provided by the property's hosts.
Guests of this property can use a parking spot in the Pizza Port lot, but it's not guaranteed, so be mindful of that if you're driving around a lot. We were there during OB Oktoberfest, and decided not to drive anywhere that day because we didn't want to lose our spot.
We had a couple of very minor issues when we checked in, and property management was quick to respond and address our messages. Very easy to communicate with them, via email or via the app that they have set up.
We had a wonderful stay, and if we vacation in OB again, we will absolutely be back to this property!

The apartment is above a pizza parlour, it isn't noisy but you do get the smell. Odd window in living room that looks down into the pizza place. Otherwise lovely apartment, terrace is great and only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Quite a high cleaning fee payable so was disappointed that the BBQ hadn't been cleaned. They supply beach towels and chairs and kitchen utensils. For anyone wanting to learn how to surf there is a school based just down on the beach and would highly recommend.

Amazing location! It is only a block from the beach, shops, and restaurants! The roof top patio was a BIG bonus! We had a BBQ up there one night and it was perfect! The only feedback I would give is to have a television in the bedroom (we had to set up our computer so our kids could watch TV while they went to sleep). Thanks again, and we will definitely be staying there again in the future!!

"Forever Summer" is an awesome vacation rental whether you're visiting from out of town or even doing a stay-cation if you live in town. Everything is modern and up to date inside and the rooftop patio is awesome! 1 block from the beach, pizza and beer downstairs. Great spot and we will be back again!
