If you are looking for nature in the middle of Pacific Beach this is the place! The cottage is extremely cute and charming, in the middle of Michelle and Rider garden! You have bananas trees on one side and a lovely porch where I enjoyed several sunny breakfast!
Location is brilliant, literally couple of blocks from a beautiful beach! Plenty of cafes around and far enough from Garnet not too fill the 'pressure' but if you feel the urge for a beer it's only 5 minutes walk away !
I stayed there for quite a bit while moving to San Diego, and Michelle and Rider have been always friendly and incredibly helpful! Honestly, if this is the experience you are looking for, this is the place for you and Michelle and Rider are just the perfect hosts!
