The beach cottage is exactly as shown in photos. the backyard is even better. Wish February nights were warmer so we could have fully enjoyed it. Communication with Chrissy was great. She answered all our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for our little family. Very easy check in. She even accepted that we check in earlier but we ended up arriving after 3pm. The house was sparkling clean when we arrived. we were able to park right in front of the door twice, and further east on the street (less than 2min walk) twice. One thing to have in mind for those traveling with infants like us (our little one is 3 months old) is that the house gets really cold at night. The first night we woke up with the house at only 53°F. There are heaters but they are very loud so we had to chose between sleeping or freezing. There are lots of warm and cozy blankets in the house but being dangerous for infants, plan ahead and bring warm layers for their comfort. It's obviously a beach cottage and we totally understand that it's at its best for the short winters in San Diego.
Anyway, highly recommended and we'd book again when we come back to SD.
