This cottage is ideal in every way! David is a wonderful host and was quick to answer any questions we had. Upon arrival I was so impressed with all the details taken to make our stay a pleasant one. the cottage is immaculate and has everything you need for cooking and having fun at the beach. The decor is adorable and makes you feel right at home. My husband and I came to celebrate our anniversay. We had never been to Ocean Beach before and loved how close it was from this cottage to the beach. a short walk and you are on the sand. We loved the stocked shed in the back with beach gear galore as well as beach cruiser bikes that we hopped on one morning for a quick ride up the street to Sunset Cliffs. The backyard is very inviting and set up perfectly for relaxing and enjoying family or private time. The outdoor grill was great. We enjoyed it so much we only ate out one night on our trip! The bed was comfortable and though the place is small, it had plenty of storage for clothes in the ample but small bedroom closet and alot of space to put things in the bathroom cabinets and medicine chest. The bed also has large drawers underneath for ample storage. In the second bedroom there is a small closet and a chest of drawers for clothes. My son and his wife and kids joined us for a few nights. The boys who are 1 and 3 slept in the front bedroom, my son and his wife slept on the sofa sleeper and said it was very comfortable. The kitchen is small but well stocked with everything you need. There is a cute eating area in the kitchen if you chose not to go outside to eat which we did most of the time. There is a binder that is packed with brochures and things to do in the area. My son could not stop talking about how immaculate and well thought out the place was. We also walked down to the farmers market on Wednesday night which was an interesting experience. just walk a few blocks to Newport Avenue and walk amoungst the crowd. Newport Avenue also has a lot of places to eat and fun shops. We did not get a chance to look around too much as we had other things on our agenda, but it is worth strolling down. Ocean Beach is a busy place with all sorts of surfers and beach goers all hours of the day and night. the pier is all concrete and a fun walk. they have some good food at the beach too.
Be aware the cottage is close to the airport so there are planes from 6 am til 10 pm. but I enjoyed sitting in the backyard and watching them.
I love this place and hope to return again!
