i love OB, that's why we went. i wasn't impressed with this rental. it wasn't very clean & the bedroom is right across the alley from OB equipment rental, so the bobcats etc start up at 7am, which is an hour after the planes i guess... (the house is directly under their flight path) if you sleep 11-6 then great, or you're a very sound sleeper, you'll be fine. the bedding was old & not clean, there wasn't much of it (extra blankets or pillows) & i didn't feel very welcome. i asked for recommendations of places to eat etc, i was sent to a san diego tourism website. i asked for a vacuum so i could superclean on account of our daughter's allergies, none was left for me. we arrived at midnight & the porch light wasn't even on so we're fumbling around with the lock box in the dark... i didn't even get the code till i finally asked - 3 hrs before we arrived in san diego. i own a store, i deal with paying customers every day. when someone decides to spend over 2000$ at my shop, i'm grateful for that, i value it & i act accordingly - i didn't feel like our choice to stay here for over a week mattered at all, not even a bowl of fruit on the counter. it was weird & not the way i do business, and not the way i've been treated in other airbnb rentals. i made it clear this was a much needed & very special family vacation for us. we got lucky & the weather was amazing & we had lots of friends to see. i haven't had a bad experience with airbnb before, but this was one. i don't need things fancy, but i feel disappointed because this place could be 100 times better so easily & it isn't & that feels really disrespectful. people work hard for their money & when they choose to spend it with your business, that should really matter & it should motivate you to do your best. it's close to dog beach, great if you have a dog (there are dogs on all sides of the cottage too). OB is a lot of fun for sure, but i wouldn't stay here again.
