My husband and I just got back from this awsome ocean front condo. Whats there to say that hasn't already been said? The pictures tell no lie, it is just what you see and more! We spent the whole 5 days on that deck. The condo itself was very comfy with plenty of nice linens & towels. We cooked every meal in the kitchen and was never without something we needed. You can see and hear the ocean in every room except the spare bedroom and one kitchen window and the bathroom. We never used the spare room but it was plenty big with full dresser. My kids would of loved it! If we had invited them. Master bedroom was big with all the closet space I needed. Bed was unbelievable! Wanted to take it home. The deck is the largest we've ever had in S.D. The whole complex was so quite, safe, well maintained. Only have 4 units total and most live there full time I would guess. Who wouldn't want to! Saw only 2 nieghbors during our stay and that was a fast hello. There is someone who lives under the condo and you can see "alittle" of her deck but she was never out, and if she would of been it would have never affected the view. You can't mess up this view, although mother nature didn't treat us very well. We went later than we had planned it was cloudy, some fog and alittle dizzle the whole week. But being from the hot desert we didn't mind it a bit. I did miss not seeing a sunset over that beautiful ocean not even once. We walk the cliffs all the way to ocean beach pier. Some of a rough walk where you had to come back to the street but it was fun looking into the water holes for "live things". Found a store for beer, ice and booze close by. Walk to the farmers market on wes. Great food and alot of fun. Its a good 10 blocks or more from the condo though. We bought great veggies to bring home and are still enjoying them! The only, only small thing bad about this condo was there wasn't a good resturant within walking distance. The beach itself was nice, but small. Not sure I would swim with all the rocks and seaweed. The landscape along the ocean in some spots looked alittle rough and unmaintained, and indeed some spots looked ugly. I hate to say that because it didn't matter to us. This is a nice place! We enjoy watching the guys fish with their nets when the tide went out at night. Fun...We rented this spot because we don't have the kids with us anymore and wanted a quite reteat away from the usual boardwalk seen. And we sure got what we paid for. Booking next summer! AWSOME

We came out to Ocean Beach in April, 2011, to help celebrate my youngest daughter's 30th birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed the views and sounds of the ocean. The relaxed atmosphere added to the beautiful surroundings. Everything was clean and comfortable. The decor was quite nice and it suited the amazing views without being too "beachy". The neighbors were friendly and helpful. There was plenty of room for all six of us. We were able to make a wonderful Easter dinner and included four more guests.
I would love to stay here again!! If I could do, it I would come back every weekend!
**Special thanks to Adrienne for being so patient with all of my questions!

I just enjoyed the MOST enjoyable GIRLS VACATION in my life with my best friends!!! Thanks to this wonderful property, it will be forever edged in my mind. The listing and pictures don't even do this place justice, it was so much better than we expected. The property was clean and very well maintained. The owner and other neighbors were so nice and friendly. The bed.......Ohhhh THE BED...I slept in the 2nd bedroom with the queen bed and I wanted to take it home. The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, and I miss it so much! The views were breath taking. It really doesn't matter where you are in the property you will see the Ocean. The living and dining area are literally a wall of windows. The sounds of the Ocean can be heard in every room. Although we did venture out a little bit, we did find that the views we had on our very own private deck were so much better. There really is no reason to ever even leave. This is the PERFECT place to stay and just relax and enjoy the views!!! We did come upon a very friendly seagull name "Murphy" and I do hope if you rent this place you read in the book, at the property about him. He loves french fries!! Thanks Adrienne - IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!
