O.B. Beach Place--Bring your dogs to our unique Dog Beach in Ocean Beach

Be one of the first to stay in this newly remodeled and updated 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on the water in San Diego's unique beach community of Ocean Beach.

This beautiful apartment begins with a cozy living room just off your carport. It features cushy recliners, an electric fireplace/heater, and a 32" flat screen TV with DVD player and ATT Uverse HDTV plus DVR.  The credenza contains beach towels and there are beach bags and hats for your use by the back door so you can grab them on your way to the beach!

Down the hall is the larger of the 2 bedrooms with a queen sized bed, 21" flat screen TV with DVR access and a large closet complete with an assortment of fresh robes and slippers. There are extra bed linens in the chest of drawers and a wide assortment of family games on the upper shelf in the closet.

Further down the hall is the apartment's spa bathroom complete with tub/rain shower, vanity space for 2 and a fabulous glass pedestal sink from Switzerland. The shower is lined in slate style ceramic tile trimmed in slate and limestone and the vanity area and back splash are glass mosaic tile.  There are plenty of fluffy white towels to pamper you and the same hair dryer provided by the Hilton.

The metal dining table (also from Switzerland) sits under a casual nickel chandelier and seats 6. The adjacent lounge has a full sized sofa bed hidden in a plush microsuede couch. This area can seat 6 comfortably. Also in this open area is a brand new kitchen with glass doored cupboards, a very deap stainless steel sink (for bathing small dogs and children?) and new stainless range and refrigerator.  The countertops are Italian porcelain tile.  There is also a pull-out pantry, as well as dishes, glasses and crystal stemware for at least 8 people.

The smaller bedroom houses adult extra-long bunk beds along with a built in desk and another closet complete with fresh robes and slippers. Its window looks out onto the patio and back yard. It also has Uverse TV with DVR access.

Walk out the back door and you will find a covered patio and landscaped "beachy" back yard covered by shade sails and decorated with old surfboards. There is an outdoor dining area, comfy chairs around a fire pit and a hammock chair for lazy afternoon naps in the ocean breeze. The back gate opens onto a paved path, the San Diego River estuary (a wetlands sanctuary for birds such as blue herons, snowy egrets, pelicans and osprey) and then the beaches. The one on the left is for people and the one on the right is a unique off-leash area for dogs to run, swim and socialize!

All beds have Select Comfort Sleep Number mattresses (queen with dual controls) so you can adjust the firmness to any degree and as often as you like. These mattresses can also be dry cleaned as necessary. The pillows are washable and washed after each use, then encased in hypoallergenic covers. The simple, tasteful decor features original works by local painters and sculpters. The dog-proof, kid-proof floors are concrete which has been stained and sealed and are textured to be slip-resistant. The throw rugs are either machine washable or made of recycled plastic soda bottles and can be hosed off in case of messes! To help circulate the ocean breezes, there are ceiling fans in every area of the apartment.

There are 3 very different restaurants within a block of the apartment, one a casual breakfast and lunch spot, one an amazing wine bar with a small but exceptionally tasty dinner menu (try the baked mahi-mahi) and the last is one of San Diego's oldest and most beloved French restaurants.  And be sure to try the Jump Start Coffee Cart across the alley from the eateries where Kevin serves up delicious java concoctions from 5 a.m. to noon every day ('til 9 a.m. on Mondays).

Two blocks away is the Dog Beach Dog Wash, one of the first do-it-yourself all-inclusive dog washes in the country. Jane and Mindy offer waist high tubs, an assortment of shampoos, water that's the perfect temperature, and all the towels you need. And best of all, their staff does the clean-up while your best friend gets a bisquit! They also trim nails and carry a terrific assortment of leashes, collars and beach toys for dogs.

SeaWorld is just across the river from the apartment and the local buses can take you to the Old Town State Park and Cabrillo National Monument and Lighthouse in about 20 minutes. A book in the apartment can direct you to other points of interest including sports, art, music and nightlife. Want to see L.A. while you're here? Take the train from Old Town for the day. And our clean and efficient Trolley system can take you from Old Town to the Mexican Border in under 30 mins. where you can walk across into an explosion of Mexican culture (if you have your passport.)

Come live in Ocean Beach, and be a part of a community that's casual, quirky and very friendly, like all California beach towns used to be.  It's a little piece of paradise where Interstate 8 meets the Pacific Ocean!
