The cottage is in a great location. It was about 10 to 15 minutes away from all the main attractions of San Diego so it was very centralized. Everything you need and more is provided for you in the cottage which was great (towels, cups, bowls, beach stuff, etc). Check in was easy, check out was easy, probably about 20 steps from the beach which was awesome. There is no AC for the house, just a heater. Two big fans are provided and since you are in California if you leave the windows open that is enough to keep the place cool. However if you have a lot of people staying and you know you love a cold place, the no AC may be a deal breaker. But overall it was an amazing stay, definitely worth the price, and I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
