Just a few blocks from the beach, Chuck and Helen's place is centrally located. It is quiet and private, with a lovely patio just outside the door. We were happy to find a well-stocked kitchen, too, after being shown around by Chuck, a friendly and welcoming host. Though the square footage is small, this rental has everything you need, including a very comfortable bed and a desk near a big window. And Ocean Beach is a great laid-back surf town.
