On Top of Sunset Cliffs

"I have to say, I dream of your condo daily…seriously! Our trip to San Diego just would not have been the same without our stay there. I even put the photo from the balcony on a photo Christmas ornament so that my sister and I could remember. " Julie K, guest from September 8, 2021.

If you want to enjoy the ocean and the amenities of San Diego, there’s no better place than On Top of Sunset Cliffs. Sitting right on top of the beginning of the cliffs, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo provides views and sounds of the waves from every room. If you get tired of being amazed by the pelicans flying by at eye level, counting the surfers riding the waves, or watching the superlative sunsets from your bedroom, balcony, or living room, there's always the oversized jetted tub to relieve your stress or watch one of the two HD televisions.

The stainless steel kitchen and open floor plan provides a wonderful ambiance for entertaining or simply for enjoying your time at home. All furnishings were purchased new in 2011.

It's close to all the attractions: Less than 3 miles to Sea World, 4 miles to the Trolly, 5 miles to Belmont Park, 8 miles to the San Diego Padre's ballpark and downtown San Diego, 9 miles to the San Diego Zoo and museums of Balboa Park, or 10 miles to the San Diego Charger's stadium.

It's all here.

Come and see why our guests love this place.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this beautiful property. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the sweeping ocean views. The scenery was truly breathtaking and made every morning and sunset feel special. The home itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.Donn & Barb were outstanding hosts from beginning to end. Communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, and they were extremely accommodating in every way. They went above and beyond by providing thoughtful recommendations for local restaurants, beaches, and activities, which made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable. It really felt like having a personal guide to the best of the town.One of our favorite parts was the location. It is perfectly situated within walking distance to Ocean Beach town center, making it easy to stroll to shops, cafés, and great dining spots without ever needing to drive.Every detail of our stay felt seamless, from check-in to check-out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal escape with unforgettable views and exceptional hospitality.

We had a great stay! The view was amazing and the condo itself was better than the pictures on line. The owners were great with giving us a lot of information on where to go and things to do. The location was in a great spot and it seemed like most attractions were about 15 minutes away. We would highly recommend it!

Ocean Beach Jewel!

This Condo provides a perfect location for looking to the ocean and experiencing the sounds of the waves crashing below. It never gets old being on the balcony and enjoying morning coffee and evening cocktails watching the amazing sunsets. The Condo is equipped with everything that you will need for your stay. Ocean Beach and Newport Avenue is about a 15 minute walk and the Farmers Market on Wednesdays is great fun. You cannot go wrong with staying at this Condo!

If you want to stay in Ocean Beach, this is the place to be. The views are even better than in the photos, and you can pretty much walk to anything you want to do in the area. The owner was extremely nice and easy to work with.

The view is magnificent. Watch pelicans, dolphins, etc. all day. And being above the waves means it’s not booming with the doors open. The parking garage is super, with an elevator. Friends easily found close parking during summer. Everything you need to buy or do is nearby, a few minutes away. :)

Ocean beach - Great getaway

The condo is in a very good location; it is clean and large, We were a family of four adults and plenty of space to move around and share moments together on the balcony watching the sunset. Local eatery is fantastic, I would suggest Nico's Mexican and Luigi Pizza; the people are friendly and I would not hesitate to return.

This condo had many things going for it, but the main attraction was the direct ocean view and the continuous lulling sounds of ocean waves. Central location and good walking neighborhood. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Owners were responsive.

Fabulous view

We loved our stay and spent many a happy hour on the balcony watching the sunset with pelican and surfer spotting added in. The property has everything you need and it was great listening to the waves crashing whilst going to sleep. We liked the location as it is convenient for getting around anywhere in San Diego whilst seeming a world away from city life.

My adult son and I spent eight days at this property, and it was an excellent place for our reunion. The neighborhood itself is quiet, but only a few blocks away from the hip area of Ocean Beach, full of bars, restaurants, and beaches. The beds were comfy, the towels fluffy, and the views from the balcony unbeatable. I can't comment on the kitchen appliances, coffee maker, pots, and pans as we didn't use any. Bring along soap, shampoo, etc., as there was none when we arrived.

Wonderful Condo!

My husband and I had a great time at Barbara and Donn's condo overlooking Sunset Cliffs. The balcony and views are awesome. This was our second stay at their condo and we love the location. Close to everything and it's so convenient that they have parking in the condo's garage. Plus, did I mention they are super nice people providing us with a welcoming gift upon our arrival? Enjoy!

Ocean View like no other!

What an experience to have the breathtaking view of the ocean. The sound of the ocean is like no other sound. Upgraded bathrooms and kitchen made my stay so very comfortable. Very private location on a dead end street. Can walk to get to all shopping, restaurants, etc. in Ocean Beach. Cannot wait to stay again.
