My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this cute little cottage. It is indeed steps away from the beach which was amazing. Ocean Beach is a very compact place to maneuver if you're driving around town. Not to worry. This location is so close to everything you can just park the car and walk! We enjoyed our strolls down the beach into town for everything we needed. It was a perfect getaway for us. The house was just right for the two of us. We didn't really think we would need to do laundry, but with snow at home we were unsure if our flights would be canceled or not so we decided to wash our clothes just in case. Having everything right there made that choice an easy one for us. Overall this was the perfect choice for us.
