Just book this rental now, I promise you won’t be disappointed! This is a great beach cottage and the hosts had it SPARKLING CLEAN! It looks like a brand new remodel/renovation and it’s in a peaceful and safe neighborhood (I had a few thousand dollars worth of freediving and spearfishing equipment drying on the little front porch/courtyard every night and didn’t worry about it at all—totally safe).
The outdoor shower was a brilliant addition. We didn’t use the bikes while we were there, but it was really cool know that we have free access to them. It seems like personal touches like that are becoming rarer and rarer these days, and for that part of San Diego a bike ride would have been an excellent outing along the beautiful beach path.
The house had everything you could need (drying rack in the closet, water filter in the fridge, extra blankets/pillows, toiletries, etc.).
The real bed is very comfortable, and the leather couch flattens out into a second bed. That couch bed was literally the ONLY thing that didn’t meet my expectations. It’d be fine for kids, and it’s comfortable as a couch, but it’s not very comfortable as a bed for an adult. If you will be needing a second bed, I’d recommend bringing an air mattress.
Everything else about this place was 5/5 stars. Great location, great hosts, personal touches, safe neighborhood, clean above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend this rental, and I will definitely be staying here again next time I’m in San Diego.
