We stayed at Ocean Beach Cottages during September 2008, the cottages are located in a quiet area of Ocean Beach and are about a 4 minute walk to the beach. The cottages themselves are a little bit dated but are clean and have everything you need. It felt like your home away from home. We had a fantastic time, they... More

My stay in this place was one of the most disgusting, horrible experiences of my life. My husband and I love Ocean Beach. We understand that it is a funky, hippie community. So we were super excited when we found the cottages right near the beach! We planned a long, much needed weekend getaway and were truly disappointed with our... More

When we checked in everything seemed fine. We went to our room and it was the usual motel style: old drapes and polyester comforter. Now lets talk about the bathroom: no hairdryer provided so bring your own, there isnt a real shower liner so all that there is was a shower curtain, the tub bottom looked like it was dirty... More

Me and my family stayed at the beach cottages and it was wonderful my kids loved it.... they felt right at home ... The atmosphere was very welcoming and cozy,. It is a block and a half away from the beach ... I suggest that if you are an uptight person or just not the relaxed then this is not... More

OK, let's get real for a minute. The bad reviews on this site have missed two crucial points. 1. You have selected this property to SAVE money. When you save cash on the rent, you pay in other areas. 2. This is a beach community. Most of these areas in California are full of twenty something surfers that are looking... More

I wasn't sure what to think after reading all the varied reviews. Once we got there, everything was really great. The cottages are in a great location, about 3 blocks in from Ocean Beach and they're so much better than a "sterile" hotel room. They're not the fanciest, the cottages are little houses in a surfing neighborhood. But they're so... More

The rooms are clean, nothing fancy, but the view is worth every dollar.. The hotel sets on the beach with nothing but ocean and beach from the deck. The rooms are not the most updated, but you have access to use of grills, picnic tables and beach at your front door. Ask for second floor room to get a good... More

I stayed at the Ocean Beach Cottages, unit #7, on the nights of January 8 and 9, 2004. I was booked to stay a 3rd night, but cut my stay short and checked into another hotel. I was very disappointed with my stay. I travel extensively both nationally and internationally and have fairly modest standards for accommodations, but I found... More

I stayed in the Ocean Beach cottages in Brighton Ave, from the San Diego Cottages company. I loved the beach feel in the decorations and the staff were really nice to me and helped me with all my questions about San Diego tourist things. There was never a problem if I need an extra towel, coffee etc. The BBq was... More

We stayed there mid-Aug 03 for 4.5 days - it was perfect for us - very clean, cute and it was nice to be able to walk to the beach and downtown OB. The weather was perfect, the planes were no bother, and can't see why there were complaints on this place - guess those people had different and higher... More
