This is a great location, a ten-minute walk down a steep hill to a gorgeous beach, with bus service to downtown SF. The rooms are beautifully and simply decorated and very clean. The hostess was accommodating and understanding of the challenging personal circumstances under which I was visiting the city. This was the perfect place to stay.

There are only two rooms in this beautiful home and Joanne the hostess, who lives in the house, does a great job managing this property. My wife and I lived in SFO for five years but we now live in New York. Our son currently lives in the Sunset District of the SFO, so when we visit him we were... More

I enjoyed the great hospitality together with this cosy quiet bed & breakfast. I would reccomend to everyone looking for a small place quite near the famous Cliff House restaurant. Its a private 2 room establishment but just what we needed after a long trip. will hope to go back oneday.

We spent two nights in this very nice house with a lovely hostess. We booked the family room with ocean views which would be considered a suite in any hotel. The room has a private living area and lots of personal touches. The breakfast was fantastic and the home-made cookies from Joanne a not to be missed experience. It´s not... More

We are frequent visitors to San Francisco and have stayed at many fine B&Bs. The Ocean Beach Bed and Breakfast didn't disappoint. We can highly recommend it to visitors who want a quiet, peaceful place to return to after a full day in San Francisco. It felt more like a home than a regular B&B. If you have a car... More

I grew up in the Richmond district, so coming back for a stay with friends was a chance to show them how the "real" San Franciscan's live. This house is exactly what I wish my childhood house had been. All the authentic feel I remembered, but everything (kitchen, bathrooms, windows, beds, etc.) was updated and much better than "in the... More

What a wonderful place to stay! My teenage children and I had the Ocean View Suite. You can indeed see the breakers from the windows. The kids slept in the sitting room and I had the bedroom with the comfortable queen size bed. There is a TV in the bedroom with a DVD player. The suite has a bathroom with... More

For our first three nights in California we stayed at this B & B. It is in an ideal spot although may be a bit out of town for some. Joanne the owner could not have been more welcoming and encouraged you to use her home as if it was your own i.e. turn up the heating if required. The... More

This B&B was just what we needed to make our trip to SF comfortable. Our hostess was very friendly and the house itself was within walking distance to the beach and Golden Gate park.
