What a lovely cottage! The location was fantastic! We were about 1.5 miles from the beach and about 10-15 minutes from Balboa Park and the zoo. It was easy to get around San Diego. There's a Vons grocery store and Trader Joes nearby. This is a great place for a couple or a small family (3 people). We especially appreciated all the small amenities like use of a day cooler. We never used the boogie boards or bikes but loved that they were available. The backyard was a special treat. It was a relaxing place to hang out in the morning or evening. The neighborhood was quiet. Parking was not a problem.
