This Ocean Beach bungalow was PERFECT for our family get away! The location was ideal for our family, touristy trip . . . we hit the beach right down the street (and used the towels & beach toys & outside shower provided). We hit the major attractions (Seaworld, SD Zoo + Safari Park) along with several of the Balboa Park museums.
Our hosts put together an awesome guide to local attractions & restaurants that we used multiple times. But the house was also perfect for staying in & relaxing. We picked up dinner several times and brought it back to the house to enjoy in the adorable, private backyard.
The size was perfect for our family of 4 . . . and we're already considering coming back with another couple to enjoy SD again!
We will absolutely stay here again! The pros significantly outweigh the cons . . . but, just FYI, the airplane traffic is significant!! From 6am to 11pm, planes fly overhead almost constantly. We learned about what the locals call the "Point Loma Pause" . . . each night when we were watching movies, we would need to pause every 5 mins or so to let the plane go by so that you could hear again. With that being said, the hosts provided awesome tv amenities (netflix, hbo, a movie allowance, etc.).
Finally, the hosts mention the steep driveway in their comments . . . but use the driveway extremely CAREFULLY! We have a minivan (which has a pretty high profile) and we took our front bumper off backing (VERY SLOWLY) out of the driveway. Street parking is free . . . but we found street spots exactly 0 times over the 6 days we were there. At the same time, despite the impacted parking . . . the location was fantastic & the neighborhood quiet (well, except for the planes).
The hosts were readily available and friendly and we look forward to staying here again!
