The cottage was great. It was close to beach, restaurants, and shopping. The host communicated very well, providing very clear instructions prior to us getting there as well as checked in with us to make sure everything was going ok. The guide book in the cottage was very helpful, offering great suggestions on things to do and places to eat as well clear instructions for everything within the cottage. The cottage itself was exactly as the listing showed and the other reviews indicated. It was very clean, well laid out, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend staying here if you are in the San Diego area and we would absolutely stay here again.
