PROS: This is an ideal place compared to a hotel since you have the whole place to yourselves with a full kitchen, living room, etc. Shawn is very responsive and dropped off beach towels as well as replaced the cracked toilet seat when got there. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood at night. It is also 10min walk to the beach and very close to Newport Ave (which has a target and local grocery) a block with great restaurants and shops. Bring cash for the farmer's market which happens on Wednesdays and has more than just food! Ocean Beach has nice waves for surfing but also has good water temperature for swimming in the summer. Voltaire Street also has good coffee shops and other affordable eateries. It was also an easy check in and check out process and it was clear that they clean it very well. Lyfts were about $15-$25 to get around even as far La Jolla (try snorkeling!)
CONS: It is quite pricey - we paid $174/per night for 7 nights in July including all of the fees (ex. cleaning, service, taxes) so pay attention to those extra charges. The bed was also not entirely comfortable and creaky so I think the mattress needs to be replaced. The outdoor patio wasn't really somewhere we could sit because some of the chairs were broken and there wasn't a table. You also have to sign into your own streaming accounts to access the roku TV but make sure you log off when you check out.
OVERALL: it was still enjoyable: location and privacy is what you're paying for.
