Doug’s place in Ocean Beach is quite close to the ocean with plenty of room for three or maybe four people. To get to the ocean from the street you do have to go down several sets of steps. To visit the pier you have to go around the block to the next street. Be aware that the cottage is entered from an alley at the back where there is also parking. Also be aware that there is a walkway by all windows which tenants of other apartments use. The private patio was nice to have on our trip.
