If you've never been to a 5-star $500+ per night hotel/resort, you're in luck, because this place gives you that EXACT feeling from the moment you enter. Of course it is a small 1-room backyard cottage, but the entry is pretty private and the place is stunning:
The modern but tasteful cottage is smartly designed with excellent use of space. A queen bed, kitchen, bar seating, and a small but not tiny bathroom. There is attention to detail everywhere from the design and furnishings to the amenities provided. The cottage feels huge with vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams. The temperature is perfectly controlled with an adjustable AC/Heating unit. The giant glass doors allow for a massive amount of amazing natural California light to come through but also has privacy curtains for your convenience. The bed is comfortable and there is plenty of storage space for your clothes. The kitchen has a combined oven/microwave and a fridge with free Corona's! (What a nice touch). The bathroom is beautiful with an elegant sliding wood door and a perfectly sized shower. Even the scent of the cottage was delightful.
The backyard has plenty of seating with a firepit and even a hottub! (Though we didn't have time to try it! =( )
The hosts were icing on the cake. So helpful and nice. They sent a ton of links for things to do and checked up on us via text to make sure everything was fine. When I asked if there was a Aux audio cable for the Bose speaker, they brought it over within 5 minutes!
In an act of complete stupidity, I accidentally blocked their driveway the first night we were there. They were so kind about the whole thing, I couldn't believe it. First class service!
If you want a perfect relaxing getaway or a romantic trip with someone special, look no further. I can't recommend this place enough. I will stay here whenever I visit San Diego as long as its available!
Thanks again!
