Perfect location in Old Town
This is our second time staying at the cottage, and won't be our last. We love that it's walking distance to all the restaurants and bars in Old Town, and the trolley. We enjoy the convenience of having an off-street parking space, and an enclosed back patio.

Perfect little cottage in a great location!
My family of 4 (mom, dad, kids ages 5 and 8) had a great stay here! The house was the perfect size for our needs. The kids slept well on the large sofa sleeper. The house was well stocked with all the basics plus some. We really appreciated the black out curtains, if the kids sleep in, so do we! It was a short drive to area attractions, under 10 minutes to both sea world and the zoo. We loved having the ability to walk to all the excellent dining options old town has to offer. The off-street parking was amazing too! We'd definitely stay here again!

The Staycation We Needed!!!!!
We desperately needed a quick getaway from it all and this was the PERFECT place for us all!! I surprised my wife, daughter and our doggy with a Valentine’s Night staycation at this super cute little cottage in Old Town and it was the peaceful, beautiful serenity that we needed!! We cooked in the full kitchen and it everything we needed! We hopped over to Liberty Station for groceries at Vons and then spent the evening listening to music on the TV and just enjoying the place. The backyard area is so cute and our doggy was able to roam freely and safely x they have a BBQ and multiple tables/chairs in the wraparound enclosed backyard/side yard space! Miss Joan was a wonderful host and helped us with anything we needed and communicated with us promptly whenever we had a question or need. She was so loving with our doggy and we all just felt right at home. This place has everything you need if you’re looking for a home away from home. Shower, Washer/Dryer, BBQ, Dishwasher, Cable TV, WIFI, linens, towels, extra pillows/bedding, pots/pans, et al. We can’t wait to get back here for a multiple day/night stay. Just SO cute and wonderful!!! Thanks Y’all!!!!! Love us some Old Town magic. 💚

Two weeks in San Diego wasn't enough😀
This cottage was roomy and was centrally located to many city sites and surrounded by restaurants and small shops. Transportation was two blocks away. The manager, Joan, was available & responded immediately to questions. We had a wonderful time and Joan makes it very pet friendly. We will try to return sometime.
