Pets: The listing is a detached one-bedroom cottage located on the same lot as our primary residence. While the unit is separate, it shares a common yard and outdoor space with our home, and we live on the property full time.

Because of the shared outdoor areas and close proximity, allowing animals would materially affect our use of the property and raises health, safety, and personal concerns including for my emotional support animal (cat). Because of this we are exempt according from hosting guests with Service Animals or Emotional Support Animals.

Areas of Interest:
•Sandy and spacious beaches with plenty of good surf (3 blocks)
•Abundant restaurants and shopping within (1 to 6 blocks)
•Ocean Beach Pier “one of the longest in the Western US” (UNFORTUNATELY CURRENTLY CLOSED, 7 blocks)
•Nature trails, coastal bluffs and tide pools (7 blocks)
•Sunset Cliffs Natural Park (1 mile)
•Mission Bay Park “Robb Field” (2 blocks)
•Downtown San Diego (6 miles)
•San Diego International Airport (4 miles)
•Sea World (2 miles)
•San Diego Zoo (6 miles)

We hope you consider your stay at our cottage. For information and services my wife and I are located next door and available 24/7, and of course we will respect your privacy at all times.

About Ocean Beach: Although Ocean Beach (OB) has a history dating back to 1887, the community today is eclectic in nature developed with older restored craftsman cottages to multi-unit apartments to modern sustainable homes. The somewhat bohemian and “funky” nature of Ocean Beach is what gives it its classic unspoiled beach town appeal. The economy of Ocean Beach is dominated by small, independent retail businesses and has actively opposed chain businesses opening but a few exist like CVS, Rite Aid. Grocery stores include the Ocean Beach Peoples Food Store (Natural Foods) to Stumps Market. Chain Super Markets such as Vons or Ralphs are located within 3 miles. The Newport Avenue commercial district located 6 blocks from the cottage is filled with boutiques shops, clothing stores, restaurants, breweries, bars, night clubs, and surf shops.

Every Wednesday is the Ocean Beach Farmers Market where you can find fresh cut flowers, locally grown fruits and vegetables, unique foods, arts and crafts, and live entertainment.

Ocean Beach is community oriented and includes organizations such as the Ocean Beach Town Council, the Ocean Beach Main Street Association, a Kiwanis club, the Ocean Beach Planning Board, and the Ocean Beach Historical Society exist. Local events include the Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-off in late June, a jazz festival at the foot of Newport in late September, the Ocean Beach Christmas Parade in early December, the Ocean Beach Kite Festival on the second Saturday of May, and the Ocean Beach Canine Carnival on the Sunday before Halloween.

The Ocean Beach Municipal Pier (CURRENTLY CLOSED), built in 1966, is the longest concrete pier on the West Coast at 1,971 feet. The pier supports a restaurant and bait shop (Ocean Beach Pier Café), which is located about 200 yards down the pier. It is open 24 hours a day. The northern end of O.B.'s waterfront is known as Dog Beach. It's open 24 hours a day for leash-free dogs. And lastly, Ocean Beach and adjacent Point Loma are home to a sizable population of feral parrots and their offspring, known locally as the "O.B. air force." The sub-tropical climate is nearly ideal for parrots. The parrots, mostly Amazons, are most active and vocal at sunrise and sunset. During the summer the parrots often perch on the street trees in front of the cottage.
Guest will access through the garage or front door of their detached cottage.
We live next door and are always available for questions or assistance. However, we respect your privacy. If you would like information about the area feel free to knock on our door or just call or message us.
Yet four miles away, Ocean Beach is under the San Diego International Airport flight path and from time to time beginning around 6:30 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. you may hear jets landing or taking off. The cottage has double pane windows so noise should be limited. However, ear plugs are available in the unit. No planes can depart after 11:30 pm or before 6:30 am. Please be aware this is an simi-active neighborhood with restaurants and bars approximately with a couple a block away. From time to time noise associated with people and automobiles can be heard.

For security reasons, we have one, actively recording camera overlooking the garage door in the alley which records video and audio. There is also a smart home device above the front door and in the garage (facing the garage door) which only records movement and audio for 10 seconds intervals when triggered.
