Debbie’s little 1920s cottage was adorable -- a very cozy two-bedroom rental with comfortable beds, modernized eat-in kitchen, living room and deck. We admired the lovely garden oasis in the backyard and enjoyed views of the ocean and sunsets from the back deck. A whole-house filtered water system and reverse osmosis water faucet in the kitchen were other bonuses.
The location on a quieter side street — yet walking distance from scenic Sunset Cliffs Park — was unbeatable. We enjoyed walking to a top-notch Italian restaurant (Ulivo) and a nice little grocery store/deli (Olive Tree Market), as well as a little further to restaurants on Newport Street and Santa Monica Avenue (Blue Water Seafood was a favorite). San Diego has an amazing transit system, so we bought a Compass Card and rode MTS buses and trolleys when we were headed to places like downtown, Balboa Park and Coronado Island.
Debbie was friendly, helpful and accessible, but never intrusive — the perfect Airbnb host.
We highly recommend this little slice of heaven in San Diego’s Ocean Beach .
