THE HOST
Katrina was exceptionally responsive and communicative before and during my stay. She provided detailed instructions for literally everything you could imagine via email and at the property. I had just one question about something during my stay and sent Katrina a message through Airbnb, and she replied immediately.
CHECK-IN
Checking into the property couldn't have been easier thanks to Katrina's directions. Even though I ended up arriving after dark, she described the outside of the property and the location of the keys so thoroughly that I had no trouble at all.
WHAT I LOVED
Everything! Katrina has curated a cozy, relaxing bungalow that exceeded my expectations in every way. I expected a quiet, clean space where my husband and I could stay for a few days and just go to the beach, eat, whatever. What we experienced was all that with enhanced privacy from the other bungalows, access to all the dedicated beach equipment we needed (there were even ice packs in the freezer for the cooler), very thoughtful items inside like a full-length mirror and remote-controlled ceiling fan and air conditioner, and a laid-back Ocean Beach neighborhood with everything within walking distance.
THE OFFSITE GARAGE
I would advise renters to avoid arriving at night if you need to quickly find the offsite garage. This is not anything Katrina could improve; her directions were great. It was just so dark we couldn't immediately find the correct garage because they all looked the same. It would have been possible if we looked on foot with our phone flashlights, but we found street parking and then found the garage easily in the morning.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
We will definitely book with Katrina if we stay in Ocean Beach again!
