We loved staying in Carrie's place! It really is like having your own house with a private entrance just steps from the beach, and Carrie added lots of really thoughtful touches we wouldn't have thought to bring ourselves - there were beach chairs & towels, an umbrella, a beach bag, Aloe lotion (which we definitely appreciated!), and much, much more. The kitchen is fully stocked with glassware, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. and there was even bottled water and wine for us in the fridge. Everything we could have needed was right there in the house for us!
There are lots of things to do within an easy walk of Carrie's place - we enjoyed exploring Ocean Beach on foot, but it's also a quick drive to get into downtown, Balboa Park, etc. There's a market right around the corner, the beach at the end of the street, and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops within a ten-minute walk. The cottage has ceiling fans and a window fan in each room to keep air circulation going - it was a little muggy while we were in town, but keeping the windows open really cooled everything down at night and it's a quiet residential street so leaving the windows open won't keep you awake. There was plenty of room for two of us in the cottage, and quite honestly everything we needed was there at our fingertips (plus a lot of things we wouldn't have even thought of!).
We didn't have a car with us so didn't have to worry about parking, but Ocean Beach is close enough to everything that if you want to head into the city, Lyft or Uber are super reasonably priced.
We hadn't planned our trip specifically to hang out in Ocean Beach, but thought this beach house looked like a fun opportunity to explore the area in between visiting our friends in San Diego. We loved it and would absolutely stay here again!
