We took our dog here for the Christmas Holiday. It is a 1-2 minute walk from Dog Beach. You cannot beat this location.
The dog rooms are tiled and have a shared, fenced patio. The room we were in had an average sized bedroom, large patio doors leading outside & a dressing area somewhat separate from the bedroom. Worked perfectly for us as I like to sleep in a bit & my better half likes to get up in the morning & make coffee. It was the best of both worlds.
The staff was extremely helpful & friendly. They truly would bend over backwards to meet your needs. They even had a restaurant guide that listed pet friendly patios.
The only negative was the comfort of the bed. It is a beautyrest mattress & appeared newer, but was a bit uncomfortable. Next year when we come back we will bring our portable mattress pad.
They even had a dog wash station!
We gave them a 4 (only because of the mattress), but our pooch would have easily given them a 5!

Ocean Villa has a great staff that is friendly and helpful.
The motel is walking distance from the dog beach.
The dog rooms are titled and have a shared back yard that the dogs run around in (all visitors don't pick up the s**t. There are some minor setbacks that make it hard to pay the asking price for the room.
1. There is a NON-refundable fee that is added on top of your hotel bill ($30)-Yes, they tell you.
2. The offered dog towels do not look or feel any different from the human bath towels.
3. The place is completely dark at night?
4. The beds are uncomfortable and past their prime.

The hotel could use some updating on the lower level. Making the decor simple and spacious would help. Ocean Villa really needs to get some new towels.

This was a great motel on the beach. Very comfortable rooms and they allow dogs. The dog rooms are on the lower level and open to a fenced dog run. The upper rooms have balconys that over look the beach area and it has a table and chairs. The motel has a very friendly staff and they there is a pool and they serve continental breakfast every morning. We were looking for a reasonable priced motel with beach access and this fit the bill. The beach area is split between a people beach and a dog beach so its a motel for everyone. Motel has direct access to the boardwalk. WIFI signal was strong and very fast. There are several places to eat nearby within walking distance and alot are dog friendly. I look forward to coming back.

this is the best hotel that i have ever stayied at. the bent over backwards to make everyone happy. they up graded our room for no extra cost so we had beds for all for of us. the power went out in the whole state of cal. they made sure every room had candles. there was no stores or restraunts open due to no power so they got a bunch of food and put it out for all the guests to eat for free. they got us ice for our coolers. they love pets and kids. the rooms were very clean and fresh. the have a fenced in dog run and a place for you to wash your dogs with tubs and shampoo even towles to dry them. to top it all off they gave us that night free of charge because there was no power. the pool was clean and nice. this hotel is on the beach and very nice. i had such a great time we stayied another night. they even had treats for uor dogs. they are wounerful people there. i will stay there every time we go to san diego, ca.
