First off the pictures don’t lie. Sandra’s and Eleonora’s Beach Cottage was everything it was advertised to be. Beautifully and tastefully decorated from the rustic beach towel basket to the lovely backsplash in the kitchen. Every inch of the cozy property was thoughtfully considered.
The full kitchen was so great, kept wine cold in the full fridge and was able to chef up breakfast every morning after my run along the Mission Beach boardwalk, which is a super short walk across the street. The living room was well appointed with a cozy seating area and television. Lots of light filled this area and direct access out front to a small grilling and chilling area was wonderful.
The wall mounted electric faux fireplace heater in the bedroom was a pretty cool kitschy touch (I’m from Boston, we don’t have things like that) Lots of fluffy pillows and soft linens dressed the queen sized bed. I really loved the bathroom. The shower is a stitch tight, but that is soon forgotten.... stylish tile, river rock floor and provided luxe toiletries were a lovely touch.
The location to the beach was ideal and the bodega next door was great. There was a fair amount of traffic in and out of the bodega, but whatever, who cares, you’re at the beach!?!
I found that most areas of San Diego were maybe a 15-20 min Uber/Lyft ride away. So easy and convenient. There is also a bus line that runs right by the cottage that will bring you all over the city.
To top it all off these hosts are just wonderful. So helpful and accommodating. They were very attentive with responding. Made an amazing stay that much better. I cannot wait for my next visit!
