We spent the weekend at this property. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach. The owner was fabulous. She was very accommodating and even went out of her way to check in on us. She also offered restaurant recommendations and places to visit. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fun in San Diego
We had so much fun! We loved walking to the beach daily! Took an Uber everywhere, best choice ever! Enjoyed all the attractions we could take in while in San Diego! The property owner was the sweetest and very helpful! The property was clean, and big enough for my family of 3 and had great amenities.

Short but Sweet
We were visiting our son in college for Parent Weekend. The house was in a perfect location to restaurants, beach, and his school. We enjoyed using the boogie boards, which were in great shape. The kitchen was well stocked. It's an older house, but it would be helpful to have more lighting. And lastly, we had returned from the beach and were putting things away and drying our towels when the owner sent me text about what we were doing. I know there are cameras, but it felt intrusive to have someone watch you and comment on your actions. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

Perfect Beach Vacay!
My family of 4, including 2 teenagers had a great stay at Meiluen’s apartment. Her communication was excellent! It’s 1 block from Ocean Beach and we walked everywhere. We brought our 2 little dogs as well and they enjoyed Dog Beach right next to OB and walking around town with us. The Farmer’s Market on Wednesday night was a lot of fun! The apartment was spotless and very nicely decorated. The a/c was nice in the living room and kitchen but the bedrooms did get a little warm in the afternoon. I would most definitely stay again if ever in the area and highly recommend!

Wonderful weekend getaway
The communication from the property owner was second to none. She checked in frequently and had recommendations on places to go and things to do. The apartment was perfect for four. Fully functioning kitchen with plenty of utensils and cookware. 2 minute walk to dog beach and 10 from restaurants and shops in either direction. 10/10 would recommend. We’ll be back!

Attractive unit but a poor first night, then was better
After the first night we were able to get heat, we could enjoy a very clean, well-supplied, pleasant space, and location near the beach as advertised. However, upon arrival we had Problems: we experienced a cold uncomfortable arrival and suffered cold temperatures through the first night - this was avoidable & should not happen. The poor first night experience started with searching for the light switches inside once we got in. The wall switches on the wall inside the door did not work, we had to find the light switches in the kitchen to turn on lights. The heat was not on in advance of our mid-February arrival so we entered a 55 degree unit. The LR wall heater wasn't sufficient to heat the BRs, the additional plug-in heater supplied by owner blew the circuit for both bedrooms. After we reset the circuit, which was outside downstairs & not lit, the inside bedroom lights came on, but the LR wall heater did not reset to heat through the night. Heating circuitry problems caused the lodging to be too cold & uncomfortable through all night. Next day, the owner sent the electrician; he explained the LR wall heat was on the same circuit as the 2 bedrooms. He advised us to use the plug-in heaters (one in the BR & one in the LR) & not use the LR wall heater to get a reasonably comfortable temperature. Finally, this method supplied adequate heating. We should have had instructions before the circuit blew out on how to get adequate heat to the bedrooms and the living room, and to not use a plug-in heater in the bedroom when the wall heater unit in the LR is on. If we had this information, we would have had adequate heat that first night and it would have been a much better experience. Not sure we’ll go there again.

Great location, nicely furnished apartment
The apartment is very comfortable with updated furnishings, lots of towels, pillows, supplies. Nice location a few blocks from the beach and from OB’s restaurants and bars. The only concern was the bedrooms can get hot on a warm day and although the living room area is well air conditioned, the bedrooms stay warm into the evening. (Floor fans are provided). The owner is in touch from booking to arrival and during the stay.

Communication with host was spectacular. Location was clean and layout well thought out. Our family of 5 was 2 adults and 3 teens. There was plenty of room for all of us to stay comfortably. The host had little gestures that made our trip so much better like boogie boards, beach chairs, even after sun lotion. I would recommend this host to all my friends and family A++

Not as it seems, host is very rude, where’s the lights?
Great location, loved the area and the people. The host was rude. There are no lights other than the kitchen area. One lamp with a very dim bulb in each room. Day one we had issues with a clogged kitchen sink drain. when we told her the kitchen sink was plugged and that the ac just had the fan running and was not cooling the place down. We had a plumber in the unit for 2.5 hours as he ended up cleaning the entire building main drain. He told us that it was such an old building and old plumbing that it needed done every few months. The host Still continued to blame us for the clogged drain issues. She then told us there was not enough power to the building to run the AC unit so to just use the fans provided and put them in the windows at night to help cool the unit down. Then on closer inspection the entire inside of the wall AC unit was covered in mold. Over all we will come back to this area but look at a different host. This host should have the entire 4 plex professionally cleaned and certified mold free before anyone else rents from her.

Soft Beds, near the beach.
We enjoyed our stay in Ocean Beach. It was nice to have comfortable beds and a full kitchen to cook breakfast every morning. The only drawbacks, the ac didn't cool very well and we didn't feel comfortable leaving windows open while we were away. Also, my son has dog allergies, which I should've found a dog free rental. We got him some allergy meds and didn't have him sleeping on the couch. That drawback is on me. The owner did help accommodate us as our flight got changed. So, all and all a good vacation.

Excellent Accommodation & Great Location
Traveling with 2 young kids so cleanliness was important, and this accommodation was exactly that - clean, and in a great location. We didn't need the car to shop, eat, grab coffee, or get to the beach. The beach is literally steps away from the apartment, and coffee and restaurants abide all around. Also, very close to Sea World (which was a destination for us). The owner was extremely friendly and responsive, and made sure we were happy with our experience throughout our stay. Definitely recommend.
