We're a family of five from the UK and spent a week at this lovely cottage. If you like surfing at one extreme and a quieter beach at the other then this is a perfect location - both options are literally minutes away. The local area is also really friendly and eclectic plus close to plenty of other activities. The accommodation is exactly as described and was perfect for us. The patio area is shared with the cottage above but was actually a bonus to socialise with another very nice family. The garage is a bonus. Communication etc with Cindy was exactly as described and perfectly sufficient but always felt if there was a problem it would've been sorted quickly. Highly recommend San Diego and this accommodation.
