Couldn’t have asked for a better first visit to San Diego! What first attracted me to this listing was how cute and unique it was. It really is such a cozy cottage but with literally everything you would need for a family vacation. There were plenty of beds and room for us 4 adults and 2 young kids. And the location was a dream! Within 20 min you could drive to any part of San Diego. Very convenient to the airport, downtown and the zoo, and then La Jolla and the other beaches on the other side.
But honestly the best part of the stay was the hospitality shown by Colleen. She has literally thought of everything you would need for a stay, from beach toys for kids and beach towels, to putting labels all around the house so you know where everything is. She also welcomed us with a basket of snacks and drinks. She reached out right away to make sure we were comfortable and if there was anything else we need. We even overstayed our welcome and she was gracious to allow us a late check out since the place wasn’t booked that night.
Traveling with young kids is always nerve wracking and I was very picky in where I wanted my family to stay. But Colleen and this cottage made this trip so memorable - my daughter cried on the last day as she didn’t want to leave. Honestly, I wouldn’t hesitate to book again next time we are planning a trip to SD.
