The surf shack was a great place to stay for our recent trip to San Diego. You are a 5-10 minute walk to the main Ocean Beach strip as well as the beach, pier, and tide pools. We enjoyed all the Bird/Lime scooters nearby which made it easy to get around :). The unit itself, especially the bathroom, are quite small as advertised, but it's a great option if you'll be out and about and/or travelling on a budget. No problems with cleanliness or check-in process at all. Overall, great stay at this location!
