Had we known all of the doorways were less than 6’ tall we would have passed on this quaint little cottage. Other than that we enjoyed the location, having bikes available, walking on all the great paths up and down the coast and around the bay.

The perfect place
With the beach just foot steps away I knew I would love this place. The cottage was perfect for our stay. The sights and sounds of Mission Blvd were exactly as I imagined. Everything was in close proximity which made seeing the sights that much easier. I highly recommend Josh and April’s quaint cottage. I look forward to a return trip next year.

Great Location
First off the location is great. The beach cruisers were a nice addition to get around the local area. There is a garage for a small car. The bed was comfortable and linens clean. The courtyard was nice. We had a great time A few things would make it better. The couch was stained and dirty, we used beach towels to sit on it. Only one wash cloth was provided in the bathroom for two of us for a four day stay. In order to get the bathroom door to close, it is a loud slam, the shelf that is in the bathroom was falling off the wall. If you have kiddos that need help bathing, I would not recommend. The kitchen was usable but barren. A couple more dish towels and plates would be helpful. There is no microwave which would have been helpful to reheat leftovers, save on washing pots and pans, and the stove top/oven heat up the entire kitchen when on. Although there is a large outside table in the courtyard, the inside kitchen table is a tiny metal table for two. The kitchen is small, but has room if you are creative. The check in process was a phone call. It is helpful if the information is online. Playing phone tag is not the most convenient. Some driving suggestions would be helpful as the "court" that it is addressed to is only a walking path. Maps kept telling us to turn down a street that was non drivable. It is located in an area with one way alleyways, so if you missed the turn on the "court" you then have to drive a few blocks and circle back around.

Cute beach bungalow
Perfect little beach hut for my husband and I for a weekend. Great location, cute courtyard and we enjoyed the bikes. Interior cute but tight bedroom and bath but good shelves and hooks, linens and full length mirrors, lots of outlets. Down side was no pod coffee maker,low ceiling, smell of smoker but owner will address that, hard to find and small garage. Owner very responsive and seems to want to make your trip a great experience. Recommend a binder to explain ac and heater and tv (only smart tv). Oh, you can walk to great restaurants and 1/2 block to bay and then 1 1/2 block to Pacific and two beach chairs to go enjoy. We would rent again.

Adorable Beach House
First of all, the location was amazing. It was quiet and peaceful. We were just steps from Mission Bay beach and just a couple of blocks from Pacific Beach. The house was small, but exactly what we needed for our stay. It was sparkly clean and decorated in blues and whites that immediately gave you a "beach feel" when you entered. It had a good-sized, paved backyard with very nice outdoor furniture; a conversation set with couch and rockers, a table and chairs for outdoor dining and a fire pit that we enjoyed every night. The garage was small, but our Mercedes SUV fit inside with no problem. Josh, the owner, was very nice, accommodating to our wishes and, most importantly, easy to contact. We are definitely planning a return trip for a much longer stay!

Fabulous
My daughter and I stayed here for Spring Break and I just can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay! The cottage is PERFECTLY located to everything. We didn’t have a car and were pretty much able to walk and bike to everything in the area. The cottage is the perfect size for a couple or other pair. We arrived at 1:00am and had no problem finding the place or getting inside. Josh was SUPER helpful and responded quickly if we needed anything. Would totally recommend this place!!! Loved it!

Super cute, great stay
This was a super cute little beach cottage. Everything was clean. Josh was very responsive. The beach is just a short walk away. And it was awesome that they had bikes we could use so we didn’t have to rent. Definitely would stay again.

Cute place, bad mold
Cottage location is really great. Good casual places to eat within walking distance. Lots of younger people there so we felt a bit like oldsters in that crowd. The place is sweet. Bad mold problem and I am allergic to mold so it was a tough week for me. Also, if you are over about 5 ft. 10 inches tall you will need to duck a lot. If I was 40 years younger and not allergic to mold it would have been the best. No microwave.

Adorable Beach Cottage
We live in Seattle. I'm so shocked at the affordability of this little cottage. Tiny, yes. Beach accessibility? Yes. Walking distance to restaurants and a small store? Yes. My 2 girls and I love quirky old homes and this fit the bill. Full size fridge and freezer, pantry storage, and a gas stove, which was amazing. The owner was very responsive and kind. I couldn't fit my rental CRV in the garage. I'm positive a more skilled parker could. I found a parking hack nearby. Comfortable bed and a super quirky shower/ bath (had to wade in to adjust the water for my kids but they thought it was awesome). All the kitchen items we needed. No shampoo or conditioner or bathroom items which is fine because we prefer our own. We will be back!

My wife and I were here in early February. We love visiting San Diego and had never stayed this close to the beach. Bottom line, we liked it. First, the downside. Older, small house. Limited kitchen. Some parts are kind of funky….like the shower/tub entry and low doorways. If you are large people, this might not be a good fit. On the plus side, and there are many, the location is fantastic! Very urban/dense feel (houses packed together….small narrow streets.) Extremely safe feeling and walkable….to the bay and ocean. Far enough from the main thru street that you don’t hear road noise at night. Small shops nearby. We were there during the atmospheric river, so the ocean area was cold and wet. But I can only imagine how enjoyable it would be in good weather to be only a minute away from watching the surf and sunsets. There’s also a nice little backyard, which we never got to use due to inclement weather. The bed is comfortable. And the shower water is hot...almost immediately. The wall heater unit failed, but Josh (the owner) was great and got us some space heaters which really warmed up that little house. I must tell you that the place really grew on us the longer we stayed (5 days). It’s well worth the price. We would definitely rent again. Thanks Josh, we had a great experience, even if the weather sucked.
