Melissa's cottage was outstanding for us. It was better than expected. I wasn't expecting so much room in the kitchen and living area given the small sq.ft. of the cottage. The location is ideal - it really is just 2 blocks to the beach (and very close as well to dog beach - much fun to watch all those dogs run free) and 4 blocks to the main drag - Newport street - with all the shops, restaurants, etc. The cottages are detached, so we didn't hear neighbors. Lots of info on local things to do. It was a great stay and a great week in Ocean Beach and San Diego.
