The cottage was just beautiful and perfectly located to all the areas we were planning to visit (SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Downtown and beach). Emily was a great hostess and keeps the property very well maintained. We enjoyed fresh tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers from the garden. While it was just adults this trip, the house would be great for a family with kids, there are toys, a sun room and a fabulous backyard. I highly recommend renting this cottage and plan to return.
