I had the pleasure of staying at Jim and Sha-Maries adorable little beach cottage. It was a fantastic time and we could not have hoped for a better location. It has the same inherent disadvantages of almost any beach rental that you are going to find in Southern California, parking is at an extreme shortage, and the housing stock is usually older. They have managed to overcome these disadvantages to the best of their ability.
Cons
The cleaning fee is definitely on the upper end of listings in the Ocean Beach area. I’m actually fine with this as cleanliness is important to me. Unfortunately, there were five or six minor annoyances that I probably shouldn’t have had to deal with that I did. To Sha-Marie's credit she checked in with me during my stay and I brought it up and she immediately addressed them without attempting to invalidate my concerns. The internet speed was approximately 10 MB and the connection was spotty if you were not in the living room itself. This made Webex sessions challenging so my work time was not as productive as I could have hoped. Investing 200 dollars in a mesh router would probably benefit them greatly. The barbecue grill was missing a thermometer on the lid and had generally seen better days, Sha-Marie said it was scheduled to be replaced, it was serviceable, but had some issues.
Pros
The put an exceptional amount of thought into decoration of the home. It has clear themes that flow well throughout the home. It helps immensely in immersing you into your beach vacation. There is one exception that you should look for. There is a Harry Potter “Easter Egg” that amused my wife to no end. I used the decoration of the house for several of my Instagram shots and thought they turned out really well.
The largest bedroom is at one end of the house and requires two steps down to enter. I really liked that as it reminded almost of stepping down into a bedroom on a sailboat and I thought of it as a little sanctuary from the rest of the house. There also was a really cute desk area which was nice, although as previously mentioned the internet connection in that part of the house was not as stable as could be.
The other two rooms were smaller but still very serviceable as well as pleasantly designed.
The bathroom was actually one of the highlights of our stay. We usually have found this to be the most ignored room in Airbnb rentals. That is not the case here, it is very well designed with quality fixtures and great waterflow in the showerhead.
The kitchen was fine for a beach rental. You would be challenged to make a five-course gourmet meal in there. Steaks with asparagus and a tossed salad was no problem. They have provided a full set of cooking utensils as well as decent plates and cups. There is also a great toaster and the obligatory Keurig unit.
The backyard was another highlight. It was very nice sitting back there with the dogs at night listening to the sounds of the ocean.
I can’t say enough about the neighborhood. It is extremely walkable, with a nice little grocery store, The Apple Tree Market is only a few blocks away and has a small but decent selection of fresh produce and meat. There are several good coffee shops in the neighborhood as well as a wide variety of restaurants. We tried the pizza and beer at Pizza Port and it was fantastic with a large outdoor area where our dogs were welcomed.

Conclusion
I am rating this stay at five stars for everything. That being said I probably wouldn’t stay here again, not because of the property or Jim and Sha-Marie (their communication was great), but more about me and my particular needs. I would highly recommend it to people looking for a nice relaxing place for a weekend at the beach.
