My partner and I spent a full week at this oceanfront condo and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The views from the condo are even more spectacular than the listing pictures show. We kept the balcony doors and bedroom window open nearly all day and night and loved hearing the waves and watching the pack of surfers that was almost always out there. I will say that depending on the tide, the waves can actually be extremely loud and sound almost like bombs detonating. That's just the price you pay for being so close to them though!
The condo itself was great for the two of us. We teleworked for most of our stay and the wifi was excellent, even for video calls. We cooked most nights and had everything we needed in the kitchen, which definitely isn't usually the case in rental properties. The two bathrooms had amenities like shampoo, body wash, lotion, toothpaste, and more. The water pressure in the shower was great and it was also super helpful to have a washer and dryer in the unit. We also appreciated the snack tray and abundance of tea that was available.
Having a designated parking spot in the garage was so important, even though it always took a few minutes to get in or out due to the tightness of the garage. I know this is standard in the area though. We didn't use any of the beach amenities (e.g., coolers, bikes) but very much appreciated that they were there.
The location of the condo is great for taking walks (e.g., to Sunset Cliffs), going on runs (running to the dog beach and Ocean Beach pier was a nice route), and checking out the many restaurants, shops, and bars nearby. We didn't get to explore much of Ocean Beach because of COVID but would love to return when times are different. I also brought my yoga mat and practiced yoga on the condo balcony - I highly recommend this for any yogis out there.
One thing to note is that there was no heating or air conditioning in the unit (that we were aware of, at least), so I would definitely recommend lots of layers. Even when it may be 70 degrees and sunny outside, it would be pretty chilly inside the condo since it doesn't get any sun. I was usually in socks (cold tile floor) and under a blanket (the condo had plenty) whether I was on the balcony or on the couch. I'm sure this only applies in the winter.
In all, we had a wonderful stay. We felt very comfortable and safe and appreciated the great communication we had with Dean before and during our stay. The oceanfront experience can't be beat. We've already talked about returning for another trip in the future!
