Ocean Beach isn’t just another San Diego neighborhood—it’s a distinctive coastal community where surf culture meets artistic spirit, and where salt air and laid-back living create unique storage challenges. From the iconic pier to the vibrant Newport Avenue corridor, OB residents need storage solutions that understand both the beach lifestyle and the realities of coastal living.

We deliver. You pack. We store (or move it). It’s that simple.

And unlike outdoor storage units that leave your belongings exposed to Ocean Beach’s salty, humid air, our climate-controlled indoor facility protects everything from surfboards to family heirlooms.

Portable Storage Built for Beach Community Living

Big Box Storage serves every corner of Ocean Beach, from oceanfront cottages to inland apartments, understanding the unique challenges of coastal storage:

What size is the Big Box storage unit?

Each Big Box measures 8′ x 5′ x 7′ (L x W x H exterior) and can typically hold one room of contents. Should you need additional space, multiple Big Boxes can always be delivered. Should you need assistance in determining how many Big Boxes you may need, please utilize the online storage space estimator or contact a representative at 858-244-2691.

Existing customers may also access their account information and make payments online 24 hours a day.

How secure and weatherproof is a Big Box?

Big Box storage units are designed to be both secure and weather-resistant. Their wooden construction naturally insulates against temperature changes and regulates humidity, helping to keep the interior stable and reduce the risk of mold and mildew.

What's the difference between a Big Box and a metal storage container?

A Big Box storage container is made of wood, which won’t rust or corrode, making it ideal for long-term storage. The smooth, forgiving surfaces also help protect furniture and valuables from scratches and dents.

How do I access my belongings at your storage facility?

Access is available every day of the week. To access your belongings, simply provide two hours advance notice between the hours of 10am and 3pm (need to call by 1pm and finish by 4pm) and your Big Box(es) will be ready for you when you arrive at the San Diego storage facility. There’s never a charge to access your storage!

Once you place your order, Big Box Storage will deliver the container right to your address at a scheduled time. You can take your time loading it, and once you’re done, we’ll return to pick it up and bring it to our secure storage facility—or deliver it to a new address if you’re moving.
