Ocean Beach #4 Esalen, Cozy Cottage/studio, only 3 blocks to the beach 🏖

Come escape to the beach and get away from the craziness of life. OB is a vibrant, bohemian neighborhood with a fun SoCal beach vibe. You will be able to walk to great brewpubs and restaurants in just minutes. Stroll down Voltaire Street and engage all your senses for all kinds of delights and sights. Our studio is located in one of the most desirable areas in Ocean beach. No matter what direction you head, you will find yourself immersed in the pulse and grove of OB. Located only 3 blocks from one of the most popular beaches in San Diego and the famous OB Pier. Short-Term Residential Occupancy License: STR-06950L

Stroll down to the beach, or mosey along popular Newport Ave. OB offers new brewpubs, fun restaurants, antique shops, surf shops, surfing, taquerias, and great sunsets.

There is no A/C but being so close to the beach, you get a great sea breeze, but just in case, there is a portable fan (stored in the closet).

Perfect for a romantic getaway or road trip destination!

Double booked

We arrived, put in the code from the email we had recently received through VRBO and were greeted by a noisy small dog. It was obvious someone was living there. We called the property manager who was apologetic and refunded our money immediately but we were still left finding a new place to stay…

Not Quite As Expected

This property would be best suited for a young traveler living out of a backpack. On the plus side, the bed was very comfortable and it was a short walk to our friends' home.

My thoughts

My stay was wonderful, despite the weather. Good location and close many places to eat, walking distant to shops and the beach. Ceiling lights above the bed didn't work and bathroom door really tight. Hooks on back door prevent it from fully opening, maybe replace it with a curtain.

Charming & Cozy

Francesca’s studio is charming. For a studio, it has a nice layout. It had everything I needed for a short stay. It is conveniently located near shops, restaurants and the beach. I would stay there again.

Loved this spot!

Had the best trip in San Diego! Francesca's apartment was in the perfect location!! Three blocks from the beach, right across the street from an amazing grocery store, and basically 10 minutes from so many amazing locations in San Diego! The check in process was quick and easy, and Francesca was super responsive with any questions I had. Her place is quaint, clean, and had everything we needed for a perfect trip. Highly recommend! :)

Noisey

The studio was clean and Francesca was a lovely host. However, We did not know this location was on the flight path of the SD airport. It was very noisey, planes started taking off at 6:00 am.
