The Zen Den is a cute little hut which is part of the "Aloha Shores" vacation cabin property (there are three other cottages on the property) and is equipped with a small yard. This place is perfect for a single person or a couple with their dog to stay at. The location is fantastic-- right in the heart of the OB neighborhood with the Dog Beach about a 15 min walk away and bunch of tasty food, drinks, and coffee carts within literally a one block radius from the Den. My husband and I were so delighted with the convenience of this place (the SD Zoo is only a 12 min drive! Getting to downtown is around the same).
The Den itself isn't fancy but is clean and has a nice size mini fridge/kitchen counter area and a fairly spacious bathroom considering the size of the rest of the place. The kitchen area only has a toaster oven and fridge so if you were expecting to be able to cook a bit, forget about it. Luckily there are tons of eats super close by so we never had an issue but we did go in there expecting to be able to cook a little. The place does get pretty hot during the day (as it is a large L shape) so make sure to leave your windows open!
Alex and Jeremy were both warm, attentive hosts and welcomed us with cookies for everyone (including doggo) which was very sweet! Would definitely come back here again.
