This cottage was just what we needed for our winter escape. If you’re looking for a home away from home while enjoying your San Diego experience, Donna’s place is perfect. It had a private room for our son, a fold-out sofa for our daughter, and a queen bed for us. The washer and dryer we handy too. Donna was very responsive and gave us suggestions to check out. We particularly enjoyed our walks to the pier and strolling along Newport Ave. Our favorite coffee place was Java Jungle, and our favorite breakfast place was Breakfast Republic. Plus, the new “neighborhood” Target made it convenient to pick up basics that we forgot or needed. Check out the Wednesday market on Newport from 4-8 PM. We bought some fresh strawberries there for breakfast. I was kicking myself for not buying more. We don’t get them that good here in MN. FYI: The East African food tent was quite popular because it had the longest line. We’d recommend Donna’s place to anyone looking for a place near the beach, in a quiet neighborhood, and close to bars and restaurants.
