The cottage was exactly as described, very clean, cozy and private and was stocked with every essential you could ever need, from bathroom toiletries, to coffee and granola bars, to zip lock baggies; things we never think of bringing but come in super handy when packing a lunch for the beach. We could have shown up with just the clothes on our backs and we would have been set! I also appreciated the locked gate to access the property, I felt very secure there alone with my 11 year old daughter. Chuck was an excellent host. He allowed us to check in 4 hours early and greeted us to show us around the cabin and give us a walking tour of Ocean Beach to help us get acquainted with the area. He was very warm, accommodating and quick to respond when we had questions. The neighborhood is awesome, it is quiet, safe, and within walking distance of the beach, shopping, and tons of delicious restaurants. Having access to the shared washer and dryer was a lifesaver! I had no idea how much laundry we would need to do, but getting sandy at the beach daily we would have been a mess without it. We loved our trip to Ocean Beach and this was the best Airbnb experience we have had so far. We will definitely be back to stay at the cottage again soon!
