Just a couple of minutes from the beach and Ocean Beach's various shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay. Katy was a mine of information. As an added bonus, we just walked past some really cool bags I had been looking for for my 20 something daughters, I was only expecting to find them in very chi-chi upmarket boutiques... More

I went to San Diego with a friend to a friend of ours who is in the navy and lives in Ocean Beach. We wanted to be within walking distance of his home, and after a quick Google search found the Elsbree house. The pictures online are completely accurate, the house and the whole property are charming. The attention to... More

I have stayed in quite a few bed and breakfasts and have never felt as comfortable as I did here. After four nights it was sad to leave.

Katie and Mary Beth were great hosts. I stayed in A3 for two nights and have no complaints. Extremely comfortable bed, fresh sheets were provided as we went to breakfast (fruit and yogurt, cereal, coffee, tea, fresh homemade bread, juice, eggs...), and it's a great location. I will return as soon as I can.
