"Heaven by the Sea" is a fantastic place that is made even better by the incredible host, Lisa. The cottage is a great location--steps from the beach and convenient restaurants and a short drive to all major kid-oriented attractions (Sea World, Zoo, USS Midway Museum, Old Town, etc.). If you enjoy walking or running, you will love being so close to the boardwalk along the beach, where you can enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of the San Diego coastline while logging miles. Lisa communicated everything clearly and followed up with all our questions. The cottage is absolutely adorable, immaculately clean, and fully and thoughtfully stocked for an excellent vacation. The weather during our stay limited our outdoor time on the deck but, during warmer days, it would be a great hang out area. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the necessities and extras to make cooking at the cottage easy, and the layout gave us enough separation from our kids that it did feel like a vacation! This was our first AirBnB experience; Lisa has set a ridiculously high bar for others to try to equal!
