This place is a gem! I would 100% return when in San Diego, and have already recommended it to friends. The guest house is totally private and well decorated. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. We never got the chance to meet the hosts, even though they live in the main house on the property. We did utilize the hot tub which also felt very private, even though it is technically "shared". I also got a kick out of having a lemon tree with loads of lemons to use! They tasted better than any lemon I've bought in stores. The location is perfect and OB is just the coolest surfer/hippie town.
