I'd never been to ocean beach and the location of the couple's cottage is perfect. It's right at the beach! You can even walk along the beach to the restaurants/strip/grocery/farmers market. You are an easy walk to the co-op in the other direction and as a runner I enjoyed being right at the bike path as well for morning runs. Sure, as the listing says, the rental shares a wall so you might hear the neighbors a bit, but i feel people are respectful and I still found it felt private. It's tucked away from street traffic of pedestrians etc. Emily was likewise a wonderful host. Affording privacy but accessibility through airbnb messaging if you needed. She was terrific and timely with any communication I had and graciously reached out to me w the availability of an early check in, which was very appreciated. Access to the laundry for flying back with clean clothes was clutch. I found the kitchen set up was nice for cooking meals. As a solo female traveler visiting for the first time, I will add the area felt safe and comfortable as well. It was a nice space for an individual. Thank you! Best
