If you want a 5-star hotel experience, you may want to stay elsewhere. But if you want a clean, romantic, quaint, quiet, convenient beach cottage for a local experience, I can't recommend this enough, especially for the value. Check-in was a breeze with the lockbox, and the property is about two blocks from the beach, and about 4-10 blocks from restaurants and nightlife. There is a little courtyard with chairs and an avocado tree, which we used mostly as a waiting/staging area to get our shoes on, brush sand off, or wait for a car. The street noise is low -- you might hear some people talking or some cars rolling by with the windows open, but it was pretty quiet. Most of what you'd want or need is in PB within a 15-minute walk of the cottage, though we did explore farther with Ubers (15 min. ride to La Jolla, 20 mins to the airport, 20 mins to the Gaslamp, and about 30 mins to Coronado).
The space itself is fairly small (perhaps 200 sq ft?) and not too fancy, but should have everything you need, and it felt bigger with the front courtyard. It felt a bit vintage, like a throwback to a simpler, slower, less connected time period, and was perfect for a beach weekend getaway. There is a queen bed, a few small side tables, a chair, a fan, an electric heater, a hair dryer, and a small bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There are soft bath towels and beach towels and suntan lotion. The kitchen has coffee and a coffeemaker, a hot plate, a tea kettle, and staples like a sink with a few bowls, plates, mugs, glasses, and flatware. There is a mini fridge with a Brita, and a closet in the kitchen with a luggage rack and hangers. There's no TV, but most of the time we were inside we were either waking up, winding down, or bathing and changing. There is wifi if you want to watch something on your phone or tablet before bed. We communicated with Ryder & Michelle before and after our arrival but didn't need them while we were there. They provided a list of great local recommendations which we used in conjunction with Yelp.
The neighborhood (and weather, when we visited) was simply too perfect to spend indoors. The local beach is like something out of a movie -- it's like what the rest of the world thinks all California beaches look like (as a San Franciscan, I can tell you this is NOT typical). The Ocean Front Boardwalk (pathway) is two blocks away and is amazing for walking, jogging, and people watching, just be on the lookout for bikes and scooters. Bring a sweater -- it might be colder at night than you're expecting.
