My son and I were in town to look at possible universities and we couldn't have found a better place to stay. The cottage is quaint, very clean, and well equipped, and Doug and Kathy are extremely gracious hosts. Wish I had a place like that along the beach in Japan. USD is only minutes away, and UCSD and SDSU only 15 minutes away. Our hosts were a wealth of information regarding local eateries, surf spots and general knowledge of the area. Tecolote Nature Park is five minutes walk away and provides miles of trails to hike or run. And they have two wonderful labs, Bo and Jasmine, who are the most well behaved dogs you'll ever meet. Doug and Kathy, thank you, we will be back. Dale and Kai
