This is a doggie paradise with their own, special, mile-long beach just a few blocks away from cottage. We also loved walking along the wetlands/marsh, estuary path for miles. Especially gorgeous in the golden luminescence of sunset. 15 -20 minute drive from everything we wanted to visit (Hotel Del Coronado, world-famous zoo, La Jolla, historic S.D.). It is in airport flight path so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper, but no problem for us.
