The Sandbar: a private studio in downtown Ocean Beach
A cozy little studio all your own, two blocks from the sand.
The Sandbar is a detached studio at Seaside Square, set apart as its own little house. It has a queen bed, a sofa bed on the sectional, a full kitchen and a bathroom with a glass shower, so it sleeps up to 3.
It is made for couples, solo travelers and friends on a beach weekend. Walk to coffee on Newport Avenue, spend the day at the beach two blocks away, and come back to your own quiet space with a private garage, a rare find in OB.
The Sandbar is fully private. Guests share the courtyard, the beach shed and the laundry room with 2 washer and dryer sets with the other homes on the compound.

The Sandbar photos in Ocean Beach
Long dinners in the courtyard, nights by the fire.
The Sandbar opens onto a gated garden path under the pergola, a few steps from the courtyard.
The heart of Seaside Square is the courtyard: a long table for 20 under string lights and woven pendants, a large propane grill for burgers after the beach, and a fire table with lounge chairs for slow nights. The beach shed is stocked with chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers and wagons, so you can walk to the sand with everything you need.

Ocean Beach is San Diego's most laid-back beach town, and Seaside Square sits right in the middle of it. Walk two blocks to the beach for surfing and sunsets, or one block to Newport Avenue for coffee, restaurants, surf shops, antique stores and live music. Park the car for the whole trip. You will not need it.
