Our stay at the Ocean Beach Cottages was a true Ocean Beach experience. (We lived in OB many years ago.) Our cottage and the surroundings were a little funky looking from the outside, but we were very happy with what Melanie has done with the cottage inside. It's a small, studio-size apartment, but nicely appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom had nice fixtures and a good shower. The kitchenette had everything we needed for our take-out meals from the local restaurants, which had limited seating due to the pandemic (we didn't cook). While we were there, San Diego was having one of its worst heat waves, so we were very happy with the excellent AC unit and ceiling fan in the cottage. We were always comfortable and slept soundly. We also appreciated the smart TV, which had access to the top streaming services and also allowed us to stream shows from our phones and laptops. The location was excellent. We were short walk away from the beach and the markets, stores and eateries that had whatever we wanted. Everything about our stay went very smoothly and provided us with the weekend getaway we were looking for.
