We had a great time staying in the cottage, and only wish we had had more time! The beach is close, great shopping is a short drive or bike ride away, as are delicious restaurants (La Jolla restaurants seem to take brunch very seriously!). The cottage is very clean and comfortable, and has most everything you might need. We were even able to do laundry while we were there, which was very helpful. It's very private and quiet—highly recommended.
