Located in Ocean Beach within 2 miles (3 km) of Mission Bay, this vacation home is within a few miles (5 km) of other popular sights such as Mission Beach. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a patio, and a fenced private yard.
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Explore our slice of paradise! Dogs welcomed! Steps to Famous Dog Beach!
Spend your relaxing beach getaway in our recently remodeled and updated 2 bedroom, 1 bath property on the water in San Diego's unique community of Ocean Beach. Enjoy our perfect location on the fenced back yard patio including several sitting areas, an outdoor table, a gas grill, and a door leading right out to Dog Beach. (We love dogs and do not charge extra for pets!)
Your vacation experience starts with an off street parking spot right in front of your door. Just inside the door is the newly remodeled living room with a brand new couch and 50" 4K Smart TV. Fiber wifi and cable are included, with streaming apps accessible through the TV. The couch has a convertible bed for additional guests as well.
Down the hall is the larger of the 2 bedrooms with a queen sized bed (new Serta iSeries 2.0, new bedframe and nightstands), a TV with Roku and a large closet complete with an assortment of fresh robes and slippers. There are extra blankets/pillows in the closet.
Further down the hall is the spa bathroom complete with tub/rain shower, vanity space for 2 and a glass pedestal sink. The shower is lined in slate style ceramic tile trimmed in slate and limestone and the vanity area and back splash are glass mosaic tile. There are plenty of fluffy towels to pamper you and a powerful hair dryer.
The back of the house features an open area including a new kitchen, dining table, and lounging area with a door out to the patio. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, appliances, and utensils for your convenience. The adjacent lounge has a small couch, lounge chair, a wicker rocker, and another flat screen TV with DVR access.
The second bedroom houses adult extra-long bunk beds along with a built in desk and another closet complete with fresh robes and slippers. Its window looks out onto the patio and back yard. There are also 2 twin air beds with linens. The pillows are encased in hypoallergenic covers that are washed after each use.
Walk out the back door and you will find the renovated patio with deck, gardens, and plenty of options to enjoy the outdoors. Relax under the sail shades or soak up the sun in lounge chairs. Here guests may also be greeted by our friendly resident pup, Kairo. Outside the back gate is our newly constructed game area. Horseshoes anyone? Just beyond is the paved path out to the beach adjacent to the San Diego River estuary, a wetland sanctuary for birds such as blue herons, snowy egrets, pelicans and osprey. The beach on the left is for people and the beach on the right is Kairo's favorite spot, a unique off-leash area for dogs to run, swim and socialize!
We are happy to share that with San Diego's new Community Power options our home is now powered by 100% renewable energy sources.
Worth noting: Like all of Ocean Beach and much of Mission Beach we are less than 10 miles from the airport, so planes do travel overhead. We have insulated the walls and roof of our property, and the City of San Diego requires that take-offs and landings cease between 11:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. Most guests say they seldom notice the planes inside the unit though for some guests they’re a mixed blessing. However, watch the skies closely and you could catch a glimpse of a fighter jet from nearby Miramar Air Force base which was the setting for Top Gun.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Great property, nice backyard patio with a well kept trail leading strait to dog beach. The place is super dog friendly but still clean and nice for the humans. Greg and Clara were great hosts, available to assist but allowed us our privacy while in the space. Would definitely consider booking again in the future.

Super-cute home is conveniently located to not only to people beaches, but literally steps away from famous Dog Beach.We were only there for 2 quick nights, but would have loved to utilize the space in its fullness. Our family of four were very comfortable and all felt like we had our own space but plenty of communal area for gathering for food and games (which they had a closet full!).Perfect centrally located home for a wonderful beach vacation. Greg and Clara were fantastic with communicating with us.

We had a really nice stay at this beach house in Ocean Beach.The location is definitely the highlight—just steps from the dog beach, which made it perfect for daily walks and letting our pup run around. It was so convenient not having to drive or plan around beach access.The house itself was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It felt cozy without being cramped, and we appreciated having a space where we could unwind after spending time outside. The neighborhood was laid-backand had that classic beach-town vibe.Overall, it was a great spot for a casual getaway, especially if you're traveling with a dog.

Our family had a great time ringing in the new year at your beach house. What especially stood out was the simplicity in checking in and check out -- no large binder with rules. Appreciated the 11am check out time versus the usual 10am. The amenities with pets in mind was very appreciated. Thank you so much for everything! We truly enjoyed it our two days there.

This was our second stay here and we absolutely loved it (again!)! We rescue and foster dogs - often with special needs - so it is difficult for us to find a suitable pet sitter. But this beautiful home away from home allows us to actually go on a vacation as a family. Our dogs always have a blast at the beach, which is our favorite part! Wonderful hosts and such a great place to stay with your pups. We’ll definitely be back!

First stay at Ocean Beach
The property was as advertised except the dryer didn’t work, but the hosts were great. This VRBO is very dog friendly. The backyard was beautiful. The hosts dogs were noisy when left alone. The hosts lived above the VRBO. The neighborhood had many homeless people camping in close proximity to the VRBO which the hosts had no control over.

Super dog friendly
We had a great time celebrating my mom’s bday right by the beach! It just so happened that we ended up getting there way earlier then expected and we were able to check in early and enjoy the day. I absolutely love how dog friendly they are and even include doggie toys and a bowl. Dogs are allowed on the furniture but they provide blankets so the doggies are even more comfy and the furniture is protected. What place do you know that provides that? The house was very ckean and the best part was you open the back door and you are steps away from the dog beach. We all loved it and are already talking about when we’ll be back.
