It is exactly as advertised, but the pictures do not do it justice until you have stepped foot in this amazing and relaxing cottage. Not only is it close to the ocean, but it feels like home, more so than any other place I have stayed. My wife and I felt welcomed and if we needed anything Jen and Mark were readily available. The neighborhood is quiet, family oriented, and a great relaxing location after touring San Diego for the day. Overall, it's gonna be hard to top the hospitality and the cottage.
