About this property

Lotus Lodge - Blocks from Ocean Beach

Have the BEST SLEEP in your life on our 2 King Tempurpedic Beds.
Pluck a lemon from our tree, have morning coffee on our private patio, saunter to the beach, then grill and have drinks under our bistro solar lights, and relax in our newly added Hot Tub Jacuzzi in the shared backyard!

Chefs will LOVE this well-appointed 2-room kitchen with 3 ovens, and Remote Workers will enjoy the large Office Space and external monitor.

Perfect Stay in OB
Could not have asked for a better spot. Great location, great house, everything we needed, and a welcoming host and owner. Parking is easy, close to the beach (we appreciated the beach chairs!), and it was very clean! Thank you and sorry for the delay in writing this review!

Wonderful stay!
This was our second stay at this propeety. Its a beautiful older house with some of the quarks you would expect. Its a short walk to Ocean Beach, which is a huge bonus. We were able to park right in front of the property majority of the time. Attractions are close by and easy to get to. Gabe is a wonderful host and very helpful. If another SD trip comes up, we would book again.

Worth it!
We stayed at the lotus lodge and it was a great experience! Gabe was great at communicating and answered questions promptly (and I had many). Having access to the private patio was lovely every day for both remote work change of scenery and just hanging out with friends. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable! There are some older bikes that were available to use that made a quick trip of morning rides to the beach! I would definitely recommend it to others.

Summer 2024
The property was in great shape and looked great! The are 2 king beds and a large couch. My 16yr old slept on an air mattress that he said was comfortable. Big kitchen with double ovens, microwave, dishwasher, toaster oven and a big fridge. Laundry machines were newer and large capacity. Backyard had a great area for 5 around a gas fire pit and a table with seating for 4. Overall this was a great place with lots to do in the immediate area! We will be coming back! *****

Great beach town get away
The house is adorable, and loved the location to everything that Ocean Beach and San Diego had to offer. Host was very prompt in responding and helping us out. Being a historical home means no screens on the windows, which threw us at first, but there were surprisingly no issues with bugs. Parking on the street is tight, so be prepared with that. But we made it work and so much is in walking distance it wasn't an issue.

Lotus Lodge - Great Stay
The house is great - lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Super clean and has pretty much everything you need. Plenty of street parking and the house is so close to everything we had planned. Great communication with the host. We’ll definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area.

Great property!
We stayed at this property for a week with our two younger children, and loved the proximity to restaurants, the beach, tourist spots. The living space itself was also great - a lot of room for the kids to play and chill and the for the grown-ups to spend time together as well. Would definitely rent this property again if we ever visit San Diego again!

Perfect Spot in OB!
I highly recommend this place in OB! The Lotus Lodge is in a great location. It's quite spacious, sparkling clean and has very comfortable beds. We loved that both rooms have their own bathrooms. I hope to come back and stay here again!

Spacious and well maintained
Ocean beach location convenient to many adventures. It was not clear there would be a tenant on the property grounds in the listing. It did not interfere with our stay but transparency always better than being surprised. We used all the special additions including bicycles, hot tub, beach towels and laundry machines. The yard could use some TLC but would take a nice interior over well maintained yard if had to choose. Overall the service was superior!

Lovely little house & walking distance to the beach!
The house was charming & comfortable. We enjoyed the king size beds & beautiful kitchen with high-end appliances. The location is perfect for exploring SD - super easy to hop on the freeway, and it's very close to Pt Loma, Mission Beach, downtown, etc. We walked to the beach and downtown OB. There are several coffee shops & restaurants just down the street.

Awesome house in OB
It was a pleasure to stay at Gabe's place. The house was very functional and immaculately clean. (Our daughter noted that it was even clean under the beds where toys are often lost). It’s in an ideal location on a quiet street, just a twenty-minute walk from the beach and ten minutes by car from Sea World and the zoo. Gabe’s responses to a couple of small concerns were always immediate and helpful. He made sure we knew where everything was and where to find help if we needed it. The beds were great--we used the inflatable queen for two grandkids, finding space for it in one of the king bedrooms alongside the bed. That allowed us the use of the living room after the children went to bed. Planes were pretty constant from 6:30 am until about 11 pm, but we didn’t find the noise bothersome. The kids actually enjoyed watching the planes and kept a tally of the airlines. The house is also quiet. We never heard the living room conversations when the youngest got up before 6 on most days. We had an excellent 4 nights/3 days in OB, and highly recommend Gabe’s place.

About the host

Hosted by Gabe Kubanda

Host profile image
Conscientious, friendly musician, non-profit founder and small business owner, I value concise and timely communication, transparency, and am easy to get along with.
I also love good music, good food and traveling!
I honor VRBO policy to the letter, and expect our guests to hold the same high standards, so please review listings thoroughly and DM with any questions :)

Why they chose this property

Being able to walk one block to the Peoples Co-Op and get the best groceries, hit up Kaiserhoff for some authentic Bavarian food and brews, then saunter down to the beach for the most beautiful sunsets imaginable, you just can't beat it. And we're less than 5 minutes from Sea World ;)

What makes this property unique

I love this property, and the unique kitchen layout, and the private side yard with the lemon tree and grill, and outdoor dining capabilities
