Love this property! We've stayed in a couple different units, they are all excellent! Everything you need for the beach is provided, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and furnishings. Having a garage to park in is another perk, we didn't drive anywhere since we were within a few minutes walk of anything we needed. Cannot wait to come back for another visit!
Love the OB vibe! People are friendly, dogs are welcome, weather is beautiful. Yes, there is a homeless population (as at any beach). We did not have any issues at all, nor did we feel unsafe at anytime. Yes, it can be noisy. It is a public beach and the building is located next to a public parking lot. The noise from the beach crowd generally died down around 10 pm. You will hear commercial airline traffic, same as all the other hotels in the San Diego area.
