Very walkable place close to the beach! The kitchen was well stocked with equipment (and there's a market a 7-minute walk away), there's a charming umbrella-covered table with comfortable patio chairs on the deck for enjoying outdoor meals (indoors, you'll have TV trays), and the duplex entrance onto a shared, enclosed courtyard made us feel very secure. Be aware that the bed is a double, so it's a bit tight for two people, but the couch is big and comfy, the TV is huge and high quality, and the location really can't be beat. I love Ocean Beach, and this was close enough to walk to all the fun shopping and restaurants on Newport, but far enough away to not be bothered by people out partying late at the bars. We walked to the beach every single day. You're close to the dog park end of the beach if you have a pet or if you just like doggies. :) Parking can be a bit tight on the street, especially on weekends and around sunset, but we always managed to find something within about a block. The host was super communicative and made sure we had all the info we needed for getting into the unit and checked in with us the second day and again before we checked out. Great trip! Thanks, Ed!
