Ocean Beach is a small beach town without all of the usual bells and whistles typical of most popular beach towns. It's one of the few places left in San Diego where the shops are locally owned and managed. There is a lot to be said for this funky little beach town, with its collection of antique stores, restaurants, coffee houses, bike & surf shops, musicians, activists, & artists. Located only 7 miles from San Diego Downtown and 2 miles from Sea World it offers easy access to other San Diego attractions.

It was everything we were looking for and more

5 of 5
Submitted: January 21, 2010 Stayed: January 2010
We were originally looking at hotels for our trip to San Diego, but I randomly came across this property while checking other options....Our trip was so much better because of it! As soon as we walked in the door, we fell in love with the place. It was very clean and well kept, the kitchen was ready for all of our meal adventures (including some baking). Part of the fun of our trip was being able to make so many meals together...saved us a bunch of money, too. My wife really enjoyed the deck areas, great places to lounge around outside, and the neighborhood is quiet enough (except for the occasional plane overhead) that spending time outside isn't a problem.

The location is amazing! Not only is it close to a beautiful beach, but it's also really easy to get to the interstate. Easy access to everything else in San Diego. But no need to go too far because there's plenty to do just in the neighborhood. Be sure to eat at Hodad's (2 blocks away) during your stay.

The management is great, very easy to get a hold of and ready to answer any questions you might have. We highly recommend this place and hope it's available during our next visit.

Walking to the Beach

5 of 5
Submitted: September 25, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
I loved the location, walking distance to everywhere, block from the beach, supermarket, bars, and restaurants. 10 mins from downtown and pacific beach. the whole area is very chill and everyone there is friendly, and also the neighbors. The house itself is very cozy, very modern, with wood floors, stand alone bath tub, all the cooking utensils to cook everything and anything. the patio space in front is quite chill with a view of the beach. I would recommend this location for small group or family, and i would want to return again.
Owner's Response: Thomas, thank you so much for the great review and we are happy we were able to make your stay enjoyable. Please let us know by email if there is anything that we can improve or add to the Orca Cottage. Cheers, Yasmin

Nice Place, Even Better Location

4 of 5
Submitted: September 6, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
This was a great place to stay; very close to the beach and stores all within walking distance. The major complaint i have, which is beyond the control of the owner, is that we were directly under the flight path of a major airport! As such, generally from the hours of 6am to 8am, there was nearly constant air noise - and its quite loud. The good news is that having to wake up early to the blast of airplanes allowed us to enjoy early morning walks on the beach.
The house sleeps 4-6, but keep in mind if you bring 6, two of you will be sharing a rather small futon, so be sure you like your bunkmate..alot.
The only other minor complaint i have is the laundry fee. Since you are given only 1 towel/person for a week, if you need to do laundry, its going to cost you. It could be cheaper to purchase cheap towels and throw them away rather than wash them. Its not expensive at about $6/load (wash and dry) but it feels a little like i was being nickle and dimed after paying so much for rental and cleaning. It would also be nice if there was an outdoor BBQ, and maybe some other beach toys for use. Other rentals in the area have more 'extra' amenities which are included in the rental fee.
Other than that, the house is very nicely furnished, and in a great location.

Great Beach Retreat! Perfect Hideaway! Easy Access to Everything in San Diego!

Submitted: June 5, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
Orca Cottage is exactly why we always go through VRBO! If you are looking for a well kept cozy cottage in Ocean Beach that has off-street parking and great amenities, this is it!

The property is exactly as described, and Yasmin and Bill are great to work with! The pre-arrival package is thorough and detailed, and access to the property to check in was simple! Owners contact you after checkin to see if there are any additional needs and contact information was posted at the property for any need.

Orca is a cottage, so don't expect a house in the suburbs! It's tastefully decorated, and includes wireless and cable. The decks on the front of the house and in the courtyard are great to relax and enjoy one of the last great beach cities!

Make sure that you enjoy the beach a block away, as well as journey north on the coast to places like Del Mar for views of the coast! Hit up Coronado Island and the beach there for crowds as well as explore the Gas Lamp quarter and Balboa park!

Things to be aware of before you rent this Cottage

2 of 5
Submitted: June 2, 2010 Stayed: June 2009
This Cottage is directly under the flight plan of the Southwest Airlines planes that fly in every 15 minutes beginning at 6:45 am. The planes come very low to the house. They continuously frightened my 2 year old son.

The house is not well stocked. For example, no dishwasher-machine fluid to clean the dishes. The Owner advertises that dish cleaner is provided. I called and left the owner a message. She never bothered to call back. Also, we were alloted 2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 adults. This was enough for 3 days. I used the last square of paper before heading out.

The place was not cleaned well. The floors were dirty when we checked in. The cleaning crew at a problem gaining access to clean before we arrived, so they did a quick job. The Owner did not offer any break in the price. My sons feet were dirty from walking around the place. Bring house slippers.

There are no beach toys provided other than a frisbee. There are no games. Wifi was not working. Many essential kitchen utensils were missing. Only 6 dishes / bowls are provided and some were chipped and broken.

The low rate obviously reflects the above. I would not stay here again.
Owner's Response: We are very sorry to hear about the bad experience our guests had. Most of Ocean Beach is under the flight path as in San Diego, unlike other cities, the airport is located downtown.
Dishwasher detergent powder is located under the kitchen sink and that was confirmed after the guests departed. Their phone call was not returned due to office phone problems. They had all our contact numbers, including cell phones, which they could have called as well, had it been a pressing issue.
We make sure to inform all guests of the amenities provided, both in our ads and in an email sent to the guests: as in most vacation rentals, we provide a stater supply of paper products and toiletries (as opposed to a hotel, which is most likely what will work better for these guests). As to cleanliness, we were not informed of the poor job our cleaning crew has done. The guests knowingly arrived earlier than check-in time, which most likely put the cleaning crew under pressure. If we were made aware of the condition we would have definitely offered a discount. Neither were we aware that Internet was not working. A quick reset of the Internet equipment (which is located in the bedroom) would have most likely resolved the problem. As can be seen from other reviews left regarding the Orca Cottage the bad experience these guests had was due to a combination of circumstances beyond our control. We do strive to ensure all guests have the best experience possible.
