We never met the host or any representative for the property. This wasn't necessarily a problem, but it did seem unusual. We were impressed with the gear and amenities in the house and enjoyed use of the fully furnished residence. There were some areas which were poorly lit, including the dining room and the kitchen sink area. There is no light above the sink, none. The fenced yard wasn't secure enough for a small dog as there were places where the animal could escape. Plan on getting up early every morning as the first flight of the day from the nearby airport leaves at 6:30AM and the take-off noise continues throughout the day. The jet noise is true for all of Ocean Beach and not just this property.
