This place was exactly what I needed for 2 quiet and relaxing nights at the end of my trip to the San Diego area. It feels like you're walking into a secret hideaway when you open the gate and duck under some tropical plants in the yard to get to the cottage.
Ryder and Michelle were prompt in responding to me, and even had the place ready early for my weeknight stay!
As advertised, it is small, but still roomier than I expected. It's clean and well decorated, and the bed was SO comfortable. Plenty of cooking tools for me to make coffee, a nice breakfast, and lunch to take with me for the day.
Upon checkout I realized that the provided beach towels were still in my sister's car on the other side of town. Ryder was super understanding and told me to drop them off whenever, even use them at the beach for the afternoon on my way back! They also found a sweater I'd forgotten and laid it out for me to notice when I returned with the towels.
I'd recommend renting a bike and riding around the neighborhood and boardwalk. There is room to keep it under the stairs in the yard. I biked to and from Sunset Cliffs one day (about 12 miles round trip from the cottage) and to La Jolla Cove and back the next (9 miles round trip). Take side streets along the ocean both ways.
If you want a breezy little cottage close to the beach, stay here!
