About this house rental

Enjoy the vintage charm and venerable character of this beautiful & historic Ocean Beach cottage. This lovely 1920s Craftsman-Style Bungalow located in the heart of Ocean Beach is a certified historical landmark and was one of the very first cottages built in OB! Updates have been done where needed but most everything is original.

The house and lavishly landscaped property have been meticulously maintained and cared for. The house has two full levels and you will have access to the entire main level/top floor complete with two bedrooms; one with a queen Sealy Posturepedic bed and the other with a full size. The bathroom has a large tub and shower available. There is a sunny, cozy living room with comfortable seating, built-in bookcases, and a gas fireplace. The ample vintage kitchen with breakfast nook features a fully functional 1940s Chambers gas stove for all your cooking needs. Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of space for your food items and a large sink with garbage disposal aids in making clean-up a cinch. There is a mudroom between the kitchen and back deck for hanging coats and removing shoes. Relax on the front porch, back deck, garden, or patio area complete with al fresco dining. Delight in a peaceful moment in the swing chairs hanging in the shade of the 50-year-old Japanese Red Pine tree while butterflies and hummingbirds flutter about. Or barbecue on the Weber gas grille surrounded by a gorgeous fenced-in yard with fruit trees, grapevines, native cacti, succulents, and other indigenous flora. Enjoy the convenience of the outdoor laundry area.

The property is just blocks from several beaches including a local "secret" spot. Hit the shops and bars, grab brunch, or dine in one of the dozens of wonderful restaurants on and around Newport Ave. Stroll or take in the sunset on Ocean Beach Pier. And...don't forget to check out the OB Farmer's Market & Street Fair every Wednesday from 4:00-8:00 pm!

Great location in a quiet area but walking distance to all Ocean Beach attractions. We really enjoyed our stay!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
Beautiful place. Loved the authentic look and feel of this cottage. The hardwood floors and old wood cabinets gave this place a special and unique feeling. My only slightly negative comment would be no A/C. It got pretty stuffy in the main area and with no screen on the front door the air did not move much. They had a lot of fans and a/c in the bedrooms which was good. Also the bathroom was really small and little room to get ready. It was also great for my dog. I did not realize we were sharing the back yard with the other tenants. That would have been helpful to know. That way I was not surprised by seeing them when I took my dog down to potty. Overall I would recommend this place and I would return. The host, Brenden, was responsive, friendly and professional.

Great location, easy walking to restaurants and shopping. Beach close by. Property was clean and well decorated with a mid century feel.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
The photography shared for the property was pretty deceiving. We were shocked how small it was when we walked in. It also said it had a/c but they were window units and happened to be a heat wave when we were there. I knew it was an old place so that’s on me to expect something more reliable. We were locked in our bedroom for 15 minutes as the doorknob was old and it wasn’t connecting to unlock. Said breakfast was included. And there was a gym. Only to then see it was a canister of granola and dumbbells upon request. It met the needs but it wasn’t anything spectacular for the price. Location was amazing. No flexibility on check out timing or check in.
