I wanted to stay in a home as opposed to a hotel because my son lives in San Diego. He has room mates and there is not enough space for me at his house. So he and his girlfriend stayed with me in Tashas cottage. It was perfect for us and we mostly relaxed there. We were able to cook meals there too.. Tasha had nice pots and pans, nice silverware, sharp knives, cutting boards, spices, coffee, plates, bowls, tupperware, toaster, mixing bowls, everything I needed to prepare meals. I love to cook and the kitchen was very clean and the appliances are all modern and a nice working space for those who enjoy cooking! The deck has a table and grill (we did not use the grill) so we did have lunch outside and dinners inside. The hot tub was enjoyable and clean. The private yard was nice for sun bathing and the neighborhood was quiet. We watched the full moon eclipse from the front yard! The driveway is enclosed and fits 2 vehicles which was great for us as we did have 2 SUVs and plenty of space for both. The street did not have a lot of traffic so it was easy to get in and out. The beds were comfortable and we watched movies at night. There was surround sound inside and speakers outside for music during the day or at night while in the hot tub. Nice evening ambiance with the strands of lights around the deck. The bathroom was a nice size.. Very clean with all you need during your stay. The shower is big and everything was CLEAN! The beds were comfortable and there is plenty of space for your things.. The location was great.. When we went out, it never took long to get where we wanted to go. 15-20 minutes to go downtown, 10 minutes to La Jolla, 15 minutes to Torrey Pines, 15 minutes to the airport.. Northpark and Southpark minutes away with lots of cool shops and good places to eat. Maybe 5 minutes to the mall. I will rent this place again for sure! This cottage has great energy, it's a home, not just a rental!
