It is my absolute pleasure to write the first review of Surf Lodge #1. My husband, our adult son, our small dog and I felt immediately at home in this cute and comfy apartment. Doug was an exemplary host, responding quickly to queries during the booking process and shortly after our arrival. Cleanliness of accommodations is everything to me when I'm traveling, and Doug's place was spotless. I was genuinely impressed! Check-in and check-out couldn't be easier, and we loved not having to deal with keys (the electronic locks are super convenient). The apartment is well appointed with quality beds, pillows, linens, kitchen supplies - really, just about everything you could possibly need. There's no outlet in the bathroom (at least, that we could find), but that minor inconvenience was easily remedied with an extension cord. The location can't be beat - as advertised, an amazing ocean view and staircase access to the beach/tide pools are at the end of the street, and shops, restaurants, and the rest of this fun community are within easy walking distance. We fell in love with Ocean Beach during this getaway, due in large part to our delightful stay at Surf Lodge #1. Thank you, Doug! We can't wait to plan our next trip.
