If you want to experience the ambience of a neighborhood from a perspective of exceptional hospitality and relaxation then seek out Chuck and Helen's sheltered bungalow only 3 short blocks to Ocean Beach, Dog Park and that magnificent pier.Helen and Chuck had a wonderful basket of goodies: wine, munches, truffles,etc their humor and kindness were much appreciated after the brutal traffic from LA.The bungalow is very cozy but well stocked with kitchen supplies as well as French soaps and bathing supplies. We found a mobile cart for coffee and pastry and walked to dog beach to
watch cavorting canines of all sizes and shapes feel the joy of freedom. What a hoot!
After another eventful day exploring we barbecued and Helen offered us delicious ribs she had prepared for her guests. After dinner the hot tub was amazingly calming and refreshing.
A simple pair of ear plugs will block out the planes and chattering wild parrots in the morning.
Chuck was quickly responsive through Airbnb messaging for any point of interest or direction. A full listing of restaurants with reviews, Ocean beach activities and interests are provided and enhance the ambiance of this retro and "happening" community a short ride to Loma and mission bay areas.
All in all, a great experience at a value with fine, genuine people guiding and unobtrusively assisting.
