Because of flight delays we didn't get to Idle Cottage until after dark. We kept Bill posted via texting during the delays. He greeted us when we arrived and walked us through. It was exactly as described, even better "in person". Tastefully appointed, thoughtful amenities and everything worked. We felt right at home almost immediately.

Location-wise it's a couple of long blocks off the main drag in a quiet residential area, with freeway access in less than 5 minutes by car. Our stay coincided with an unusual for San Diego "heat wave" but with windows open and fans on medium we were comfortable day and night. There was a full moon the night of the summer solstice and we sat in the private back yard to enjoy it.

We recommend Idle Cottage for couples with San Diego area plans.
