I loved just about everything with this location. The only recommendation I’d give to people staying here or most of San Diego for that matter is to bring your own fan. It was a lifesaver for my girlfriend and I. The location is safe (located very close to a fire-hall) and a 5-10 minute walk from most dining options and Ocean Beach.

Great Stay!

The VRBO stay was a cute little tiny home feel. We had everything we needed, however it was a little bit dusty. The location was great for a younger crowd. My husband and I enjoyed La Jolla and Coronado island. So ocean beach didn’t end up being our priority. But I think if you enjoy a free spirited place to gather you would enjoy staying here. It’s a little bit of a distance to the beach but it is right next to a grocery co op!!!

Great location,easy walk to some of my favorite places

Needed a place to stay for a quick surf trip. Zen was clean easy to find and easy to check in to. More emphasis needs to be made about parking. Even though it's far from the beach it still suffers from " Beach parking" issues as it's street parking only. Great dogs for a single traveler and can be difficult to park close. Pro

The room is exactly as it appears online. The room was clean and very comfortable. Location was perfect. Walking distance to everything you need. I felt safe at all times, even when I was alone. Didn’t do much cooking but everything you need is included in the kitchen. I will stay at this location again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property! Clean, simple, close walk to lots of coffeeshops and food that we enjoyed. It had everything we needed for a small weekend getaway. If you are looking to cook, the kitchen is a little limited and there is no coffee grinder as is listed. This didn’t impact our stay too much, we still had a wonderful time

This rental was perfect for our stay in Ocean Beach! Walking distance to the beach and all amenities we needed were included in the apartment. Even street parking was manageable. The airport is close by so you do hear planes flying over during waking hours. The host was easy to reach and very accommodating to us. Highly recommend and would stay again!

The setup was great. It was perfect for a couple. You hear airplanes all day and half the night. Honestly, you can't get away from it. The whole town is located in the direct path of flights from the airport. That fact did not deter from our stay. Just fair warning for future occupants. We had a blast staying at this location.

Cozy small apt perfect for a couple

The hosts were very easy to work with, quick with communication, their neighborhood recommendations were great, and the place was small (consistent with descriptions in profile) but perfect for my girlfriend and I when we visited San Diego. Had a great experience and recommend it to any other couple visiting.

Great location. Walk to everything!

Property is located central to everything in Ocean Beach. Didn't even use our rental car for the 2 days that we were there. Walk to shopping, dining, beach time Check in was easy. Lots of natural light coming in. There is a lot of airport noise, which didn't bother me, but people should know. This was way better than a hotel room and less costly!
