Debbie’s home in OB has a lot going for it. A prime location in the heart of the community. Easy walking access to Sunset Cliffs and a number of local high points. The house itself is pretty cool, an older Craftsman style cottage with a full kitchen that opens to a nice deck and garden area. The single bathroom has a beach cottage feel with some vintage tile work and outstanding water pressure. The living room is perfectly situated for community immersion and people-watching at the front of the home. It is very relaxing at end of day to open the front door and watch TV, hear the local traffic and watch the occasional pedestrian stroll by. BTW the television features a complete cable package with full premium subscription and includes on-demand. A feature that is rarely available in even the most expensive Airbnb offerings. Speaking of things that many SoCal homes do not offer, the living room and one of the bedrooms has air conditioning that will chill you as frigid as you choose to be. Of course, you are quite close to the ocean and would rarely need it. The home is not large but it had plenty of space for myself and my wife as well as a daughter that visited on one evening.
I noticed that a previous reviewer mentioned that the house was dirty so I want to make this point. The house most definitely is not dirty. Not even close. It is quite clean. The house could use an outside paint job and there are baseboard areas inside the home that need touching up but there is absolutely nothing on that front that should dissuade a person from jumping at the opportunity to book the home. This home is classic OB. An area inhabited by all types of people hippies, homeless, millionaires ( anybody owning a home there is a millionaire by that fact) artists, fisherman, service industry folk etc. if you are going to stay anywhere in OB, expect to cross paths with the whole population.
Finally, you get a parking space in the driveway! Try pulling all this together at the price she rents her home. Good Luck.
Debbie lives in a separate home in the rear of the property. She’s easy to get ahold of if you need her but isn’t getting in anybody’s way. She is a nice lady.
