Joshua's place is in a GREAT location for the beach. We simply walked a block to be on the sand. I also walked to various errands in the neighborhood---it's nice to have things so close!
The backyard is very pleasant and relaxing. The flight path for the airport is just over the house, which my husband LOVED as he did lots of plane watching.
The kitchen is small and decently equipped to make a scrambled egg breakfast taco breakfast, but don't expect to go whole hog on a nice dinner. There are supplies, but it is minimally equipped.
Access to TV channels on the TV was nice, though we only turned it on one night out of the four we were there. There were plenty of towels inside, and a bevy of beach toys and chairs in the garage to use! The garage is tight if you have an SUV, so be careful! It's nice to have covered safe parking in this neighborhood (where street parking is impossible to get).
All in all, we were very happy with our stay. The proximity to the beach and neighborhood was ideal, and the house was relatively comfy for us. Ocean Beach has a relaxed vibe, and is full of a lot of long-term residents. We loved the area and would recommend it to people visiting San Diego who don't want to be bombarded with tourists while enjoying access to the beach and neighborhood.
