The host was very prompt and thorough with the check-in instructions. We got in the place right at our checkout time. Everything was clean and ready for us. The place is great for a small family. The upstairs loft is perfect for a couple with the kids downstairs. There are even kids toys which kept my busy (between that and Netflix) while we were inside. We cooked all our own meals in the full kitchen with high end appliances.
The deck is also great. It has a nice, newish grill and lots of seating area. Very nice to sit out in the morning.evening and feel the breeze.
We had a car so it was wonderful to be able to park in the garage and then walk right upstairs to the condo.
The best part about the place, though, is the location. Its a 2 block walk to the tide pools. We went there every evening to see the sunset. The kids had a great time running around, jumping over all the little pools and little hills, and climbing up the path to the pier. It seems to be a local thing as there was a lot of people that would come down and bring their beer/wine and cameras. Very nice day to end the day. We didn't do it because the water was freezing, but a little further walk past the pier leads to the beach.
Aside from the natural surroundings there are also many food/beverage selections within walking distance. The only negative about OB is the constant sound of jets flying over as it is right in the flight path of the SAN airport. But that didn't bother us much at all.
I highly recommend staying at Josh and Lori's place. I'd definitely stay again.
