I am not sure what I loved more - the adorable beach cottage or the (super) hospitable (and adorable) hostess. Alix went above and beyond to make this trip not just comfortable, she was a source of great recommendations on where to go, where to eat etc. and they were all awesome! I was meeting a friend there for a girls long weekend and we both loved sitting in the patio area for our morning coffee. The place is a short walk to the Tourmaline beach (I liked it better than the busier part of Pacific Beach), lovely dining options close by (Fig tree cafe next door) and great bright space.
The bed is super comfy, great pressure shower (I am particular), coffee/tea amenities; she even left some snacks which was so nice when I first walked in. She offered her beach chair which I used and read on and watched the surfers. We both needed a break from our hectic schedules and Alix's place offered a great respite. Her communication to ensure a good trip was really appreciated.
If you are looking for a place close to the beach (not loud & crazy busy) and walk to great restaurants and a super hostess to boot, just book this!
