Our studio is located in one of the most desirable areas in Ocean beach. No matter what direction you head, you will find yourself immersed in the pulse and grove of OB.

Great location. Good size for weekend get away. However there is a skylight which is nice during the day, although it makes the room very bright from sunup to sundown, meaning sleeping in can be difficult. If it could be covered at night time that would be amazing.

Cottage property on a Main Street in Ocean beach with easy walk to some coffee shops, pizza and a small brew pub. Short drive to SD airport, SD Zoo & Balboa Park, Sunset Cliffs and more. Cottage was clean and bed fairly comfortable. Being on a main drag and across from the fire department and near airport it was a little noisy at night. Street parking only but always found something if we came home later. Easy check in/out process. Good communication with host. Would recommend.

Amazing place! The location is perfect. Less than 10min walk to the beach with shops and restaurants along the way! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot and better hosts. We will be renting this spot every time we go to SD!

Francesca was so helpful and replied to any question immediately. #1AMORE was so cozy, so cute, and in a great location in Ocean Beach, allowing for easy walking everywhere. Admittedly, we didn't spend that much time there as we live in Wyoming, where we are headed into winter. It was so nice to be outside. But so nice to come back and relax. We will stay again in the future if we are in the area!

Great place to stay while away.

Such a cute little bungalow. It is small, but you dont need much space anyways. As noted in the listing, there is no ac, however we didnt need it. Theres plenty of shade around keeping it cool. I would stay here again.
