Gorgeous Eclectic Retreat | Walk to Beach | HotTub

Summary:
Step back in time and enjoy this warm and welcoming home with the perfect blend of luxury vintage style and modern, chic design.

The home features sun-filled living with a fully equipped kitchen, 3 generous bedrooms (1 is accessible from the backyard only), 2 full bathrooms and an outdoor oasis with a BBQ, firepit, sunlounges, alfresco dining and a luxe hot tub.

Leave the car in the garage and walk 3 mins to the bustling Newport Ave that leads to Ocean Beach Pier and the sandy beach.

The Space:
Make your way inside this beautiful beach house and feel instantly at home within its bright, sun-soaked rooms with each offering its own unique retro style.

Step through into the spacious living room and relax on the plush, modular lounge or sit by the large window on the inviting reading chair with a good book and a warm cup of tea.

After a walk to the farmers market, cook up all your favorites in the gorgeous retro kitchen that comes fully equipped with everything you could need. There’s a large fridge, oven and cooktop, a coveted coffee machine, a microwave and even a dishwasher to handle all the cleaning up.

Sit up at the kitchen booth style table and enjoy pancakes for breakfast or eat together in the dining room with a table set for six. Here, you can entertain in style with a bar cart loaded with glasses and a shaker or head out on the town with top bars, cafes, bakeries, and restaurants just a 3-minute walk away.

There are three generous bedrooms within the home (1 is accessible through the backyard) offering comfortable beds topped in soft, quality linen along with plenty of space to unpack and make yourself at home. The 3rd bedroom within the home is set up as an office with a desk and extra monitors so your work from home station is ready to go!

Bedroom one features a queen bed. Bedroom 2 features a queen bed while also offering a small workspace. The main floor also offers a separate office that offers a complete work-from-home setup with free WiFi to keep you connected and a bookcase filled with a mini library for you to enjoy during your stay.

Make your way out to the backyard and downstairs to the third bedroom (with its own entrance separate from the house) where you will find a queen-sized bed and couch and coffee table set up, and another workspace with free WiFi - the perfect space for a hang-out area with views into the backyard.

The central retro bathroom is located on the main floor with a relaxing bath and separate walk-in shower, along with the second bathroom located off the downstairs area that offers a more modern space with a walk-in glass shower.

Enjoy your coffee each morning out on the deck while you soak up the Californian sun, then take the stairs down to the backyard oasis filled with lush greenery, sun lounges, a stylish bar area, a BBQ, warm fire pit, and a luxe hot tub – the ideal place to relax after a day at the beach.

So, if you are looking for the perfect central base to call home where you can leave the car parked in the garage and experience everything Ocean Beach has to offer all just a short walk away, look no further than this charming, character-filled home for your next getaway.

We can’t wait to welcome you!.

Guest Access:
Guests have private access to the entire home and expansive rear yard with a hot tub and fire pit as well as free Wi-Fi, free garaged parking for two cars, complimentary coffee and access to a highchair and pack n play for the little ones. There is also a large storage space next to the garage which is where the laundry machines are!

The Neighborhood:
Located right in the heart of this gorgeous beach town, spend your days surfing, sunbathing around the pier, see locals hanging out in their vintage VW vans, and stroll through the many surf shops, taco stands and unique local boutiques.

Ocean Beach has a throw-back groovy vibe of vintage SoCal, coupled with friendly locals, great dining and micro brews, and a vibrant nightlife scene, you’ll feel right at home with everything you need all right on your doorstep.

You’ll be just 3 minutes from trendy shops, breweries, restaurants and bars along the bustling Newport Avenue and just a 10 minute walk from the beautiful pier and beach so you can leave your car parked securely in the garage and walk everywhere.

Stock up on fresh produce at the Farmers market held every Wednesday or try to catch your own lunch with free fishing right off the pier.

Whether you’re spending your days relaxing on the beach, visiting the aquatic attractions like SeaWorld San Diego and Mission Bay Aquatic Park, or exploring the inland offerings of the city, this top central location will not disappoint.

Head to Balboa Park with 1,200 acres of pristine emerald green parklands right in the heart of the city. Here you can explore 17 museums then visit the San Diego Zoo which is always #1 on the best zoos list and definitely worth a visit.

Find fun activities on the water at Mission Bay Aquatic Park, which offers everything from sailboat rentals to bike paths. Nearby, visit one of the region’s top attractions, SeaWorld San Diego or for a surf or kayak lesson, head to La Jolla, where water adventures are endless.

Explore can’t-miss shops and hangouts in neighborhoods such as the Gaslamp Quarter, the East Village, North Park and Old Town then be spoilt for choice when it comes to food with a mix of fine dining through to food trucks serving up some of the best fish tacos you will every taste.

Getting Around:
The best way to get around is by car with free parking for up to 3 cars included with your stay.

Guests can also use a taxi service or a ride share company like Uber with plenty of cars at any time of the day or night.

When you visit San Diego, you can’t miss the bright-red trolleys transporting people all over the city. This iconic is a great way to see the city with 3 different lines (blue, green, and orange) that cover approximately 50+ miles.

Or if you want to see the city at your own pace, look out for the on-demand electric scooters and bikes that are just an app away and located all around the area.

Other Things to Note:
This property is professionally managed and cleaned to provide stellar service for all of our guests! Think of it as a hotel-like experience in a spacious furnished home!

The home is stocked with bath towels, a hairdryer, an iron, and hotel-style body wash and shampoo/conditioner. If you need anything additional during your stay, please feel free to reach out!

Please also note that with such a convenient location 10 minutes from the airport, you will hear plane noises overhead at different times during the day.

Interaction with Guests:
It’s likely you won’t see me during your stay, which allows you more privacy and convenience. However, I am here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message and I’ll be quick to respond.

Relaxed Stay

The home was just as pictured! It had comfortable beds, blankets, and a cozy couch. We appreciated that there was plenty of space for us all to do our own things and all of the amenities that you could need. The location cannot be beat, so close to all of the restaurants! I would stay here again, and recommend it for sure!

Great Retro Getaway in Ocean Beach

We had an amazing stay at this unique, retro-style house in Ocean Beach! The house was full of character and charm, and the backyard was beautiful. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor space, especially the hot tub, which was a great touch. It’s also in an ideal location—just a short walk to both downtown Ocean Beach and the beach itself, making it super convenient for everything we wanted to do.The only thing worth noting is that the planes flying overhead can get a bit loud, starting around 6 am. However, it didn’t bother us enough to affect our stay, and everything else about the house made it well worth it. Would definitely recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!

Property was true to its description and photos. Host was very communicative and prompt with responses. Hot tub was clean and functioned great. Third bedroom is accessible only from the outside, so it's great for someone who wants a little extra privacy. Location is very convenient to shops/restaurants on Newport Avenue and the beach.Property has tons of personaility and the right amount of quirk. Its unpretentious nature matches the Ocean Beach vibe perfectly.

Location location location

So did I mention the location of this house is fantastic! Literally in the heart of OB! It was very clean and had almost all of the Amenities of home. The hot tub plus the 4th bedroom / living room areas also a plus. There is only a projector in the 4th bedroom/living area. This was a little bit of bummer for my children and a bit for us as well as we all fall asleep to TV most nights. Also without any noise in the house the 747’s flying overhead can be a bit loud. This older homes vibes were great though. I would book it again! ☮️❤️🙂

The cutest retro home!

The house is super cute and it’s also in a perfect area! We were able to walk to the cliffs from the house and it was a quick drive to Gaslamp. The host was super responsive and it was a super easy to get in and out of the house. I would def recommend staying here.

Family VaCa

We really enjoyed this spacious, well supplied home. Great outdoor spaces--upstairs deck with a view of the fireworks from SeaWorld every night! The lower patio and hot tub area is large with the right amount of sun and shade. The beach and downtown OB are a short walk. Be aware that the second bathroom is not part of the main house, only accessible from an outside entrance on the patio level.

Excellent location!

Cute and quirky- pretty spacious! The 3 blocks to the beach is PERFECT because OB does have a bit of riffraff/transient population. Inside was a bit weathered/ probably need some new paint splashed about but the retro feel was calming and fun! Cleaning crew left big globs of hair and empty cigarette packs on the bookcases which didn’t give me great vibes about the thoroughness of their other cleaning. Some black mold build up around the shower ceiling and shower door. Consistent with a “beach house” but needs a solid cleaning. One suggestion would be more towels please! Only 6 towels for 4 people/5 days and no washer/dryer. We accidentally left some milk, waters and fudge in the fridge - so sorry about that! Remembered while boarding the plane.

Reunite in Ocean Beach

Charming property with great access to the beach and local attractions. Food, cafes, and shops are all a short walk away. The GOOD: very comfortable beds, cool furniture. Great patio space and basement TV room perfect for entertaining the kids while the adults hung out. Surf boards and boogie boards available. Garage and off street parking convenience. The BAD: neighborhood is on departure for the airport with planes overhead every couple of minutes, not an issue indoors , but disruptive while enjoying the outdoor space. Previous guest had left the jacuzzi and mess with sand and oily residue making it unusable until it could be drained and cleaned as we were checking out (cleaner was unavailable during stay). Overall, I would readily stay here again, but would encourage the caregiver to follow up on maintenance (dishwasher, bathroom window, fixture in shower, shade downstairs and dead/dying plants throughout).
