About this property
Beautiful, Charming, Historic 2BR Cottage-Yard/Patio-Blocks To Beaches/Shops-OB
Enjoy the vintage charm and venerable character of this beautiful & historic Ocean Beach cottage. This lovely 1920s Craftsman-Style Bungalow located in the heart of Ocean Beach is a certified historical landmark and was one of the very first cottages built in OB! Updates have been done where needed but most everything is original.
The house and lavishly landscaped property have been meticulously maintained and cared for. The house has two full levels and you will have access to the entire main level/top floor complete with two bedrooms; one with a queen Sealy Posturepedic bed and the other with a full size. The bathroom has a large tub and shower available. There is a sunny, cozy living room with comfortable seating, built-in bookcases, and a gas fireplace. The ample vintage kitchen with breakfast nook features a fully functional 1940s Chambers gas stove for all your cooking needs. Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of space for your food items and a large sink with garbage disposal aids in making clean-up a cinch. There is a mudroom between the kitchen and back deck for hanging coats and removing shoes. Relax on the front porch, back deck, garden, or patio area complete with al fresco dining. Delight in a peaceful moment in the swing chairs hanging in the shade of the 50-year-old Japanese Red Pine tree while butterflies and hummingbirds flutter about. Or barbecue on the Weber gas grille surrounded by a gorgeous fenced-in yard with fruit trees, grapevines, native cacti, succulents, and other indigenous flora. Enjoy the convenience of the outdoor laundry area.
The property is just blocks from several beaches including a local "secret" spot. Hit the shops and bars, grab brunch, or dine in one of the dozens of wonderful restaurants on and around Newport Ave. Stroll or take in the sunset on Ocean Beach Pier. And...don't forget to check out the OB Farmer's Market & Street Fair every Wednesday from 4:00-8:00 pm!

The house is just minutes from Sunset Cliffs, Point Loma, the Airport, Sea World, Cabrillo Monument, Seaport Village, Liberty Public Market, Belmont Park, San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, etc. - We are also very close (walkable) to shopping, restaurants, bars, coffee shops & countless other attractions.
*Please note that there is a small studio unit located on the lower, garden level. This is completely separate and self-contained with its own private entrance and patio area. There is no shared space inside of the house and you cannot access the lower level unit from inside, and vice versa. You can only enter each unit through its respective and allocated entrance. The only shared amenities are the gas grille and laundry area.
**Further note that the lower level unit can also be rented. Check with the host for availabilty.

About the host
Hosted by Brenden Peck

I am a musician, entrepreneur, and property owner from the Boston area. I moved to San Diego six years ago and purchased this beautiful piece of property. I have been hosting on AirBnB since 2015I believe in taking care of myself and value fitness, hiking and outdoor excursions with my puppy, Lola. Whether it is landscaping or painting, I am always busy caring for and maintaining the property. It’s a continuous work in progress and I am constantly involved in one of several update projects. I take great pride and pleasure in providing a uniquely memorable and enjoyable experience for my guests. I also find it to be interesting and exciting meeting all of the different people who come through from all over the world.
Why they chose this property
Ocean Beach, or “OB“ as the locals call it, is a truly unique place. It’s often considered one of the very last true California beach towns because of its laid-back, bohemian vibe, strong local community, and unique blend of surf culture, eclectic shops, and a more authentic, less touristy atmosphere compared to other beach areas in San Diego. OB is known for its relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere, attracting a diverse mix of residents, including surfers, artists, musicians, and those seeking a coastal haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Further, specific local ordinances have been put in place that prioritize community character, local businesses, and a relaxed, beach-oriented vibe, resisting the encroachment of large chains and maintaining its unique identity. You won’t find any high-rise luxury chain hotels blocking the view of the ocean here with a 30-foot height limit for buildings and structures. This height limit was established to preserve coastal access and differentiate San Diego's shoreline from other cities. Plus, it is centrally located with so many things to do and see whether it’s shopping, dining, drinking, dancing, fishing, boating, hiking, surfing, biking, sunbathing etc

The private backyard is completely fenced in and offers a large patio area with a dining table and chairs.
