Operating under Hitching Post Apartment Motels since its 1953 opening, Ebb Tide Motel runs 15 extended-stay units on West Point Loma Boulevard two blocks from the beach. Most units include full kitchens and separated living areas, positioning the property as a monthly-rate alternative to short-term hotel stays directly across from Ocean Beach Athletic Area Robb Field. Queen beds furnish every unit, and a shared on-site laundry serves guests staying by the week or month. The no-restaurant, no-lobby format pushes grocery logistics onto guests, with the Ocean Beach People's Food Co-op on Voltaire Street serving as the closest full-inventory store for multi-week stays. Pet policies match the neighborhood, with Dog Beach one block southwest at the San Diego River mouth. The property's current Transient Occupancy Tax license allows long-term rental configurations alongside nightly bookings, a dual-use arrangement rare in OB's residential zoning.
