Wow Terri's beach cottage is a fantastic place to spend a few days. I just wish I'd been there longer than four nights. It's an adorable looking and incredibly comfortable space. It's small, but Terri's done a great job of equipping it. The location is so fantastic. It's about a 5-minute walk from Windansea beach, which I wasn't really familiar with. That beach is so cool because it's a unique and beautiful part of the SD coastline and the locals really congregate there with their dogs at sunset. We had a couple lovely happy hours there. The cottage is also close to the village (10+ minutes) and to a couple of great restaurants and a market on La Jolla Blvd., so if you don't want to even go into the Village or down to Bird Rock you don't need to. Yes it is loud and busy during the day and evening, but the huge outdoor patio is so, so cool that it's worth it. And there's so much foot traffic, locals walking, jogging etc. that it's actually kind of cool. Inside the house it's not that loud, and we had no issue with the noise trying to sleep. The firepit, seating area, BBQ and "bar" are totally cool. We hosted a couple local friends there and had a great time. Terri and her son Michael were always responsive.
