Great location to the beach, restaurants and shops, and the Ocean Beach pier (highly recommend the restaurant on the pier)--everything is within walking distance! If you want to be within walking distance of the beach--this is the perfect spot. Doug was a great host--offered great tips and quick to respond to our questions. The place is quaint, sunny, amazingly clean and was a perfect size for me and my daughter. As others have mentioned, the only downside was the on-street parking if you have a car and are coming and going--really difficult to find a spot nearby especially over the weekend days/nights, and especially if it is a beautiful beach-weather day. However, the location was a great location to everything San Diego--really 20 minutes by car to lots of points of interests. We were fortunate to experience SD on some of the hottest spring days, so of course the place was pretty warm and sticky without A/C, but cooled down nicely after the sun went down, and the couple of fans helped too. Having the outdoor patio space was a good option--but with the beach so close--we often found ourselves just walking or hanging out by the ocean. Close-by grocery stores to pick up food, snacks and beverages to have at your place, and every single place we ate at in Ocean Beach was so good.
