Two humans and four small dogs (<15lbs) stayed here for the week. We would 100% recommend this location to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, dog-friendly lodging close to the beach!
Strengths:
- This was the perfect little get away in paradise on a budget.
- Provide beach umbrella, chairs, boogie board and towels.
- It’s close to Ocean Beach shops, pier, Target/CVS, the beach, Dog Beach.
- The venue was super clean and furnished cutely.
- There is a private gate (with code) and attractive yard which made us feel very safe as two women.
- The property manager was quick to respond and seemed quite friendly.
- The cleaning staff also seemed like kind people.
- The bathroom came fully stocked with good products and the shower got both nice and hot and also quite cold (as desired).
Considerations:
- We were close enough to walk to Dog beach but it was a bit warm (late June) and further than is ideal for us so we drove.
- There is a small washer and drier available free of use on prem for quick loads, and a massive (fancy) laundromat just across the street if you want to wash everything all at once.
- The a/c unit didn’t work for us but we bought 2 window fans at the Target a block away to get the cool ocean air inside and that worked great.
- The location is cozy so I wouldn’t suggest more than 2 adults.
- If you bring dog(s) and have the option, I suggest staying in unit A or C. We were in B and every time someone walked past our room or the gate closes the doggos would be on alert (little yappy dogs do that).
- Imo the couch bed would not have been an ideally comfortable night sleep (a bit worn in as a bed for a tall/big adult) but in preparation we brought a queen blow up mattress which fit into the living area nicely (at night only).
