My wife and I traveled to San Diego for our anniversary and were looking for a place in OB that was close to the beach and this place was exactly that! Only a 5 minute walk to the beach. There were chairs and an umbrella that we utilized many days. It seems to have been updated somewhat recently with a newer bathroom and kitchen. It had most things you would look for in the kitchen, although we didn't use it hardly at all. Too many good places to eat nearby! Only a 10 to 15 minute walk to Newport Ave. Make sure to attend the Farmer's Market if you are there on Wednesday! Lots of goodies there. Short drive from the airport as well, about 15 minutes or so. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun stay in OB!
