We loved our stay at Emily's beach cottage. There were lots of toys for our baby to play with and plenty of space for the 3 of us. There was already a travel cot which is very useful. It was quick to get to the freeway and other parts of San Diego. Ocean Beach itself is quirky with some good bars, maybe better for people without kids. We spent a lot of time at Mission Beach which was only a 10 min drive. Contemplating a return visit, we liked it so much!
