Great location, steps to the beach and walking distance to everything. The updated cottage was cozy, clean and simple. Comfy bed. Having a parking spot in that area is a huge plus! It had the essentials such as paper towels, dish/hand soap, coffee filters, etc. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels.There was a small vacuum, so it was easy to keep the sand inside the cottage under control. Overall we had a great experience and really appreciated that she allowed us to bring our dogs! My husband and I met and lived in that neighborhood for over a decade, so it was great to be back for a couple of days. We'll definitely be back next time we're in San Diego!
