Our stay

The property was very nice. The house is clean and modern with all the conveniences you could want The location, however is another story We woke up to a homeless person passed out next to our car the second morning. The beach which is a block away is overwhelmed with homeless. They have taken over the public bathroom taking showers in the outside shower. The parking lot has many vehicles with homeless in them. It is such a shame but I would not go there again and I would not endorse it. Sorry.

Great location with parking

We enjoyed our stay, house is clean and comfortable plus walkable to beach and restaurants. It had all the basics to wash dishes clothes and even shower products. Having only one bathroom wish there were more mirrors to use when getting ready.

Sweet Cottage

This was a very comfortable place at one of the "old style California Beaches". Easy walk to the beach and dog beach, our dog loved it. Lots of decent restaurants around and small markets. Place had all you need to cook, sleep, play and lounge. Very enjoyable. And if you count planes, you wont be disappointed.

Spring Break Vacay

After staying several times on Mission Beach and Newport Beach, we tried OB last year and found our new place to stay therefore returning this year. We’ve discovered the neighborhood is much more family friendly; the food and shops are closer; and the beach is not busy. Our stay at Brighton Beach Cottage is the perfect spot from the beach and eateries. Lots of space for a family of 5 to spread out and have their own space with a private front and very spacious back patio. I know it only has one bathroom, however, the fact that you have lots of private space inside and out, close proximity to the beach/eateries, and the amazingly spacious dedicated parking spot completely outweigh that fact. We appreciate Catrina allowing us to stay in her place and being very attentive when called. We’d definitely love to stay again.

Cozy Christmas Beach Retreat

This home was equipped with everything we needed to make our Christmas Holiday complete! Such a cozy, clean and relaxing stay - loved being so close to walk to the beach with coffee in the morning. It was perfect for 3 of us - beds were very comfy - the backyard was a great layout for our son's dog to visit, he knew exactly where the "potty" area was. Definite 5 stars on the kitchen - very well stocked with anything we could possibly need. So convenient to downtown OB - love shops, restaurant's and the vibe. The Wednesday farmers market was awesome - huge! Complete with bongos and fire dancers! I can't wait to come back in warmer weather - so we could truly enjoy the back yard and front deck - and try some surfing! Parking out back was very convenient! Catrina and Jason were perfect hosts - very responsive. This home is a definite repeat on our list.

Perfect week at the beach

This was an amazing property! The location was great and I loved taking my dog to the beach multiple times a day. The porch was great to enjoy a drink and people watch with a view of the ocean at sunset. The back patio was also great with a super convenient outdoor shower and a pet relief area inside the fence. The place was spotless and the area was quiet and relaxed. Would definitely rent again!

This is my second time staying at this place and I will come back again. The location is perfect. It is nicely updated with everything you need. Bring a makeup mirror if you have multiple girls staying there as there is only a mirror in the bathroom. Not a deal breaker.

Cute cottage.

The property is cute, clean, close to the beach. We had two issues. 1. The internet didn't work, so no TV for us. Called the owner who did not offer to call the internet provider. 2. The smoke alarm kept going off for no reason.

Second stay

Second stay and it was as great as the first time!! Area is great for families. Great restaurants around. House has everything you might need. We played board games every night. Spent the day at the beach every day. Breakfast in the front patio and dinner in the back patio every day. My favorite thing is that there’s an outdoor shower where we can rinse all the beach sand off and not bring any into the house. Will be staying here every year!

About the host

Hosted by Catrina

Host profile image
We live & work in OB and are raising our family here. We love this town and hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

It may be the cutest cottage in Ocean Beach! Originally built in 1915, it was one of the only properties in the neighborhood. We have painstakingly remodeled it and hope you love it and all of the charm. The back "hang out" room was the original carriage house.

What makes this property unique

Amazing location!
