Overall experience was great. Clean and neat cottage. 6 was pushing the smaller square footage to the max but for the price we made do. Host was great, a little tricky communication it seems like they recently switched systems but everything worked out. Really enjoyed the location, parking is tricky if you’ve got more than one car. Would’ve appreciated more specific instructions for the street parking around the specific location. Also could’ve used more paper goods and garbage bags for out stay but like I mentioned 6 of us were using the place so understandable. Overall 5 stars, all my critiques were not a big deal. Hope to come back!

This property is truly amazing. If you have a family of four (2 adults2 kids/teens) this place is perfect. The house has been remodeled and is one of the best places we have ever rented. It's very updated, clean, and less than a block from the beach. The house has everything!!!! The TV and internet are spot on, the kitchen is stocked, the beds are comfortable, the shower is amazing, the patio is perfect for hanging and having a drink and sitting by the outdoor fire pit, the beach toys and chairs they provide will meet all your needs, and the house is located to many restaurants and bars. I am 6’2” 213 lbs and I am always worried about seating comfort at night to be able to watch movies. This house has a great size and comfortable couch for the family to use and the chair in the room is a recliner that fit me perfect. I’m telling you this is the property to rent!!! The one worry we had before going was parking and that the garage space maybe to small but we easily fit our Hyundai Palisade in the garage which is a big full size SUV. So trust me your automobile will fit in the garage and you will have no issues. This is the first house we have rented where I can truly say it deserves more than 5 stars. We will be renting this place again in the future for sure. We were sad to come home but truly blessed that we had a week in this house.

Beautiful home!!

This property is exactly as described! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen wsa stocked and the outside area was pristine! The garage space is amazing and will fit a larger vehicle. It was pouring rain when we left and we were struggling to get everything out to the cars. The housekeeper said we could park under the garage overhang to load our things and even helped us get our wagon undercover. I would say my only dislike was not having window coverings on the kitchen windows. They face the side allyway and people walk through there at all hours to cut across the yard. It was a little scary seeing faces walking by and looking into the window late at night. Our favorite was the patio area!! The grass and sun chairs really gives this property an edge up to the others. I cant wait to stay here again

Weekend stay

We were in town for a sports event and stayed in this wonderful cottage. Even in February the beach was nice to go to and the house was very comfortable. The location is convenient to go to La Jolla and San Diego attractions as well. We would love to come back.

Cute cozy beach cottage

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at this adorable cottage. Very clean and lots of extra blankets and throws in the sectional's storage area, so we were cozy. We also liked the electric fireplace. Restaurants, gelato, coffee and more were only a few blocks away. The garage was a bit tight but we rented a Nissan Rogue and it fit. Tight parking spots looked to be the rule rather than the exception in the area, which makes sense based on its proximity to the beach. We'd stay there again certainly.

Great Place for Families

This is a great place to stay. Very clean, beds were super comfortable, plenty of pillows, A/C, lots of pots and pans to cook with, and the couch was comfortable as well. The outside shower is a must to get all the sand of you and your kids. Two bathrooms was a nice plus. The only thing missing is access to a washer and dryer which was not in the listing but would have been super nice.

I gave this property a 2 out of 5 stars for the discription online because they had not updated their photos or description. we walked into the property and were completely surprised with how nice it was because they had recently updated the entire cottage. some reviews we saw online said no a/c, not dishwasher, not an adequate supply of cooking utensils. when we got there, they had all that plus more. we booked this property based soley for its location to the beach and boardwalk. what we got was one of the best stays at a vrbo we've ever had

4 stars for location

This sweet home was a great spot for our vacation. The house itself offers the bare minimum in amenities but gave us a decent place to stay while visiting San Diego. We were grateful for a garage to park the car, a cute patio to enjoy the thoroughfare and being able to walk to the beach and Belmont Park. There is a musty/mildew smell in the kitchen and the bathroom could use some updates but overall it offered what was needed in terms of beds and basics to get by while in town. A neighboring house had a raging party one night and not faulting this home, just comes with the neighborhood but just wanted to mention it.

Great location - could use updates

The location, for the price, was amazing. When we arrived there unfortunately was a strong mold odor when opening the door. So close to the beach this may be common but it was more than we would have preferred. We opened windows and turned on fans and either that helped on we got used to the odor. We called the first day about the bathroom drain and exhaust fan issue and although there were attempts on calls back to us and us agreeing that maintenance could enter when we were not there, no one ever came to remedy the situation. Because of the great location we would love to give higher marks, the issues we encountered made it tough to do so. Definitely a location for a family of 4 or less, small but doable.

AZ Family Escaping the Heat

It is an older place and it is very small plus there is no dishwasher, washer/dryer so pack accordingly. It does have a garage that fit out Honda Pilot. I would not recommend for a family w 2 teenagers like we had. The patio is great w a grill, but w dated furniture. It is run by a rental company so anytime you have an issue you have to make a call which is not something you want to do on your vacation. It needs a few more items to make it a little easier to manage plus the trash/recycling for this area is a mess. Great location, very close to to the beach & Belmont which our kids love. Overall we had a great time, we came for the beach and to spend time mist of our time outside.
