    Ocean Beach B&B

    July 19, 2008

    The ocean view was good and the room sizes were more than adequate for our needs. Innkeeper was very friendly and helpful but not overly intrusieve. We would stay there again!

    Personal - Pretty - Perfect

    July 14, 2008

    We decided to spend the first two days of our stay in San Francisco and had been lucky to spot the Ocean Beach B&B on this website. After a warm welcome by our host (who has all the information and tipps to offer one can think of) we slept like kings in our lovely antique bed. The next morning, as if by magic, we were welcomed in the dining room by a breakfast table decorated with fresh flowers, fresh fruit, coffee, joghurt, home made granola and muffins waiting to be devoured ;o) A wonderful walk led us through Sutro Heights and down to the beach and Golden Gate Park. Bus stops are close by and the area is nice and quiet - perfect! So thumbs and toes up for a very personal B&B with an incredibly friendly host (and all those fresh flowers, loved it!).

    Step Back to a More Serene Century

    December 31, 2007

    This is a lovely bed and breakfast with much privacy. Innkeeper is gracious and efficient, available to guests while allowing guests maximum feeling of privacy. Entire first floor is given over to the bed and breakfast, with innkeeper living a floor below. Bedrooms are not large, but luxurious. Ocean view suite is a particularly good value. Elegantly appointed home is filled with antiques and period pieces, with spotlessly clean rooms. Breakfasts are generous, tasty served in an elegant dining room. There is a sense of timelessness in this bed and breakfast, as if one stepped back into a gentler century.

    Great Views - Great B&B

    August 03, 2007

    My wife and I have stayed here several times. We love the location. Quiet neighberhood close to the ocean and GG Park, and at the same time just a short drive into the North Beach, the Wharf, Chinatown, etc. My wife and I are Northern California natives and have been to SF countless times - Ocean Beach B&B would be our first choice and first recomendation. Joanne Landon is very knowledgeable, helpful, and hospitable.
