We found this super cute beach cottage exactly as described. Emily was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The cottage itself couldn't be more perfect for a couples or singles stay. It is not only steps to the beach but is also within walking distance to all of the restaurants, brew pubs and shopping on Newport as well as the restaurants near Point Loma to the North. I was very pleased with my options for morning runs, there is a path from the end of Brighton that goes past Dog Beach and Robb Field to the bridge leading to Mission Beach and if you zig zag your way through town you can head straight up Sunset Cliffs Blvd to Sunset Cliffs Park for some stunning views! It was nice to have the A/C for shower times as it can get a bit steamy and it is also a good distraction to have on while sleeping to drown out the noise of the airplanes. To be fair, the airplanes were not much of a bother to us as we found ourselves to be up and ready to explore by 0630 every day anyway. There was no need to move the car because everything we needed was within walking distance, but the few times we did, parking was never a problem upon our return. OB is a classic California beach town with incredibly friendly and welcoming people who call the beach their home. Spend some time chatting with some of the locals for an authentic OB experience!
