This beach house exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The home is bright, spotless, well-decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable trip. The location is unbeatable—literally one house away from the sand—which gave us the perfect blend of beach access and a bit of privacy. Parking was easy to manage, which is rare in beach towns. We were just a short, scenic walk from local favorites like Kono’s (best spot to get breakfast), so many great ice cream shops, coffee shops, restaurants, etc.One of the highlights of our trip was hosting a birthday dinner on the porch. As the sun set, the whole atmosphere became even more magical. My family will never forget this! What really blew us away, though, was the owner’s hospitality. After we accidentally left our electric bikes outside and they were stolen, the owner went above and beyond—even after we had already checked out—to help us recover them when a local spotted them. That kind of kindness and effort is rare and something we’ll never forget.A quick note for future guests: definitely use the side gate or bring in anything valuable at night just to be safe.Truly, this is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. If I could give this stay more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Can’t wait to come back! We really are grateful for an amazing trip!

Beach Getaway

This cute beach cottage was just steps from the beach! It was incredibly clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect! I was able to find parking within the neighborhood. My teens enjoyed the boogie boards provided on property. The host was easy to communicate with and friendly! I would definitely stay here again!

Great beach location

Home was in a great location for beach access and had everything you needed to have a fun beach time. There is also a Ralfs grocery store close enough to walk or bike to for groceries which was nice. Bike and board rentals in walking distance for 10 all day. Highly recomend the PB Alehouse for eating out. Overall a nice stay. Property was clean but dated and parking is a nightmare. Also, beware of sleeping with the doors and windows open. There is no ac so we slept with them open and were woken up numerous times by homeless people diging in the trash outside the master bedroom. Also cars haul a**down the alley and set off car alarms. So watch little ones around the alleyway. Property manager was lovely and overall had a great vacay. Thanks!

Amazing home in one of the best beach areas in San Diego

Stayed here 4 nights. We’re from the area but wanted to stay in a home close to the beach. Found this beautiful home and booked. Host was great and check in was a breeze. Home was nice inside and has a typical older beach home vibe on the outside. Home was fully furnished with comfortable beds. Fridge has condiments and plenty of cooking ware and dishes. Nice sitting area out Front with a great view and nice breeze. Home was clean and fresh! Host was great in showing available parking and tips in the area. Thank you for an amazing stay it will always be remembered. Thank you Lauren.

Amazing location, clean

The location was incredible, the host very responsive and helpful. The house is cute, but the walls are paper thin, and the interior definitely appears to be a quick flip for rental purposes. But if a cute beach shack immediately on the ocean is your thing, this is the ideal house.

Perfect Location

What a great property. The location can’t be beat and Lauren was a great host. The bed in the Master was very comfortable, and the cottage is adorable. All of the amenities are modern and worked perfectly- the shower had great pressure and we never ran out of hot water. Well stocked with beach gear and the outdoor shower was handy. We were able to find parking and then just walked everywhere for the week. We will definitely be back!

Great Place!

The property is exactly as pictured and described. Lauren was so welcoming and communicative, which we really appreciated. We had a little bit of a struggle finding parking for our second vehicle, but there is a neighborhood by the Catamaran Resort where we were able to find a spot and had no issue. The location is great, right by the beach and walking to distance to the bay. I especially liked that is was pet friendly, the cute little outdoor area, and that the home itself is all your own - it’s not a split level with another family above or below you. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back soon! Thank you again, Lauren!
