This cottage is just a block from the beach and a block or so off of Newport Ave, which puts your right in the thick of things. The cottage is rustic, as mentioned in the listing, but cute and quirky. If you have trouble sleeping if there is noise, this might not be the place for you, as all of Ocean Beach is in the flight path of the San Diego airport. But we didn't mind. The open floor plan might not work for some people, but we found it cozy. You really should be out exploring instead of holing up at the cottage anyways. I enjoyed the front porch to sip my coffee in the morning. Thanks for listing such an affordable place just minutes from the breakers, Tom & Faith.
