This place is extraordinary, and I recommend it to everyone. Even though it’s a physically small space, it felt roomy and luxurious. The location can not be beat. There is an ocean view (complete with a bench) less than 50 feet from the front door of the main house. Ocean Beach is walkable, with more places to shop and eat and hangout than you’ll ever need. OB Jewel was the perfect home base from which to explore OB and the Sunset Cliffs. But my favorite spot was probably the private deck that this room offers. Private, shaded, and lovey, it was the perfect place to write, read, sip coffee, and listen to the ocean and the wild parrots of Ocean Beach!
Stacy was so helpful and generous with information. She was quick to respond. I ate at several places she recommended in OB and they were great! It is worth noting that someone does live in the main house, and because the room is attached to it, I could hear his television pretty clearly. But Stacy anticipated that (and all the other noises that come with a busy big-city beach community) and left ear plugs for visitors! Worked like a charm, and I slept like a baby each night.
The only problem I encountered was parking. OB is a popular spot, so it is difficult to find parking after about 4 or 5 pm. Before then, though, I was always able to park right in front of the house. So please, please, please plan for difficult parking in evenings by enjoying a leisurely drive around the neighborhood until something close comes up, or enjoying the walk back to the house when you find something a bit farther away. Either way, any time spent driving around or walking in OB—even if it is just for a parking spot—is worth it. OB is charming and the weather is always perfect. Seriously. Perfect. Always. So, no griping about parking at OB Jewel. It’s a beach neighborhood in a busy SoCal city. You should know what you’re signing up for.
WiFi worked great, “kitchen” amenities were just as described. Super comfortable bed. Overall, I could not have asked for a better place to stay.
