We stayed at this condo for my son’s birthday trip to the beach. It served its purpose well, literal steps from the beach and pier. Within walking distance of many restaurants. There were even beach chairs, toys, and towels available for use.

We had a lot planned during our week in Southern California, and we were looking for a place to sleep, eat, and have breakfast. We had everything we needed at the Beach House to get us ready for our next excursion. It is literally less than a block to walk to the ocean and the pier, so that was fun in the morning and at sunset. We didn’t spend a lot of time in Ocean Beach itself because it didn’t seem like a family destination but there are several restaurants that look fun, and the Beach House is minutes away from stores that had essentials we ended up needing. Our youngest (9) was a bit big for sleeping on the loveseat in the master bedroom and no one wanted to sleep in the living room, but otherwise we were comfortable. We are thankful we were able to do laundry, store and cook our food, and chill with some Netflix in our downtime.

The property was ok. Biggest benefit is the proximity to the ocean. It has been minimally updated to for renting. Since it’s a downstairs unit we got a lot of noise from the upstairs tenants. Unfortunately for us the beach was not year good for kids. Mostly just a surf spot of beach volleyball place. Downtown Ocean Beach has a very large vagrant population now that made being out and about a bit uncomfortable, especially at night.

The place is very comfortable. A few things could use repair like the bathtub (drain plunger doesn’t keep water in the tub) and the washer but other than that it was a perfect stay in Ocean Beach!
