Mary’s home is a gem, nestled in the heart of Ocean Beach with easy access to both the beach, beautiful scenery, dog parks and highways. It’s much larger and open-air spaced than expected. Mary’s home is warm and welcoming, a reflection of her and Wilt 100 percent, she was gracious and open and felt like an old family friend quickly. We were so happy she watched my two pugs so we could spend the day with family at the beach which was wonderful! The dogs LOVED the yard and Wilt which was great. The bedroom we were in was much bigger than the photos lead on, the bathroom was gorgeous and very clean. If you are a foodie like me, Ocean Beach has a ton to offer and Mary’s adorable list of local trendy spots and yummy eats was super helpful. I found that, like Mary, the locals are friendly and helpful if you need directions or are looking for a spot to pause with dogs near the beach, many shops put water bowls out, it is very dog friendly. I actually overpacked, because I have sensitive skin and asthma, I’m used to fearing any lodging shampoo or body wash, weird perfumes on the linens ect. but she had all hypoallergenic, limited scent products, no strange perfumes that trigger asthma which was a huge bonus so if you are a sensitive person this place is very friendly for us! The yard is beautiful and I enjoyed starting my day with coffee on the patio watching the dogs play! Super happy with my stay at Mary’s and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone traveling to San Diego, esp if they love dogs! If you are traveling with your fur child, Dog Beach is great, super close to Mary’s house. The only downside is the airplanes flying over for light sleepers, I’m a city girl so it didn’t bother me at all. Overall 5 stars for Mary & Wilt!
