The cottage is simple with mostly Ikea decor and peaceful and clean. It’s also in a great location in a nice neighborhood, walking distance to the main drag in Pacific Beach as well as to the boardwalk. So not fancy but a good value when you consider the location and included parking, which is at a premium in this area. Most car shares are $20 or less in SD so you may not need a car anyway depending on your level of exploring. Highly recommend renting bikes on mission blvd or using one of the bike apps to explore pacific beach, mission beach and mission bay areas which are in close proximity. Also recommend yoga on the beach - there’s one studio that offers it every day in the summer on mission beach at 11am off Ormond Ct. Donation based. And you can google other nearby options. One other tip: Check out the outdoor bar at the Catamaran hotel, small but tropical and fun and open to the public.
