The cottage was much smaller than I thought it would be. And I thought it was going to be closer to the water than it was. Parking wasn’t too bad during the week but an absolute nightmare on the weekends. And shame on me for not noticing there was no real furniture to sit on. There’s a day bed which isn’t that comfortable for sitting and 4 rickety dining chairs.

Clean and cozy, great location. There are good food options within walking distance, and it’s just a short walk to the beach to enjoy the sunset. Parking is indeed a challenge, not insurmountable but do pay careful attention to the signage and be prepared to get up early to move the car if need be. The only thing that could be improved upon is the dishware, as there isn’t as much of it as I would expect for the stated capacity. Otherwise it’s a nice base of operations, and there was a nice little back of snacks and water provided as a welcome.

Parking was a nightmare! If you don’t wake up early each day and drive around for two hours you will get an 85 ticket, that is if you can find a parking spot within 3 blocks of the place.

Property is very cozy. Some amenities could be updated/ replaced, especially the kitchen knives, silverware, etc. no pizza cutter. Bedroom is very warm as the AC unit is in the living room. Location is very convenient. We would probably stay again for the price.

Amazing little beach get away

The parking was the only challenge we faced on our vacation. There are limited spots, but once you find one, keep it. Other than that this was the best San Diego visit me and my wife have ever had, it’s a perfect central spot, with all kinds of restaurants and coffee/breakfast places within a short walking distance. The spot was a perfect size for a couple and the couch was soooooo comfy, great spot to come back to and relax after being at the beach all day. Will definitely come back.

Great stay. Amazing location.

This was an awesome little spot with easy access to both the bay and the beach just a block away on either side. The host was very communicative and helpful. If you bring a car be sure to plan your parking because mission beach street parking can be competitive but there’s some great public lots a block or two away if you’re okay with a bit of a walk. Overall it was the perfect place to celebrate mine and my partner’s anniversary. So much fun stuff to do within walking distance! Thanks for the great stay!

We loved the area amenities and location to the bay and beach. However, the parking was very inconvenient. We had to keep moving our car and got a ticket for parking in a free public parking. Host was great...very responsive with communication.

Had a nice stay for 3 nights. Super quick walk to the Bay or Beach. Parked in the lot of off Santa Clara without any problems. Few minor things the cottage could use but wasn’t a big deal. Host communication was awesome! I would definitely stay here again. 💙

Girls Weekend

This was the perfect little beach getaway bungalow. Super close to the beach and the bay and lots of restaurants as well. It’s small and quaint but very clean, we felt safe and we didn’t need anything bigger as we were out and about most the trip. We initially couldn’t find parking after we unloaded but realized we could park at the Santa Clara rec center and it worked out perfect.

This property while okay, is in a horrible location with lots of issues. The inside is dark with not enough lighting, patio is non existant and area is unsafe with unsavory people. Would not recommed this unit. Property management was very helpful in finding us a new location.

Great location, easy beach access

Really enjoyed our stay here. My husband and I met our college age son in San Diego for a long weekend. Easy walk to the beach, the lagoon, lots of restaurants and funky shops. Parking is a bit challenging but could find an overnight spot down at the lagoon side. Very cozy but comfortable. Very responsive host for questions.
