The beach cottage is a great choice for a couple or single person looking for a home base in San Diego for a few days. We loved that it was off the street and away from any noise, that does mean you don't get those ocean breezes. We used the AC in the house which worked great. A highlight of the home is the close walk to the main business area of Ocean Beach and the beach itself. That made grabbing a meal or spending some time exploring easy. Emily graciously let us check in early since we were arriving from the East Coast and had our luggage in tow. We loved our few days at the cottage!
