Our four-night stay at Debbie's cottage surpassed our expectations (which were high to begin with, based on the beautiful photos of the place). When we arrived, we found everything was well-stocked -- any dishes/utensils we might've needed were there, along with a coffee maker, soft linens on the bed, and extra towels (and even beach towels!) for the bathroom. She left the driveway available to us (huge bonus).

The house itself was comfortable, charming, and beautifully kept, with large windows, a skylight in the kitchen, a big bathroom with a nice shower, a lovely back porch deck with a table, which we enjoyed every morning and evening, and gorgeous landscaping. It's well-located within walking distance to a lot of OB restaurants and bars and the water, and is only a few minutes' drive from the 8.

In our attempts to leave the house as secure as possible whenever we left, we accidentally locked ourselves out one morning. Debbie couldn't have been more gracious or helpful when we knocked on her door and asked for a spare key.

I would absolutely recommend her house, and would consider staying there again during my next trip to San Diego.
