Cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend that included our pup. Location was ideal to enjoy all the shops and restaurants in old town and had a nice secure yard to leave our dog when we had to. Host was so easy to work with, great communication and just a text/call away. House was clean, comfortable and cozy. Loved having a dedicated parking spot. Will definitely return to stay again.

We had our home tented for termites so picked this property because it allows pets and was highly rated. We were very comfortable there and so were our two cats. It’s in a great location in Old Town and we enjoyed taking walks in the area and walking to restaurants. The cottage is clean, well equipped, comfortable and homey. It also has a lovely outdoor enclosed patio. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Such a great little house with a cozy little private yard. Great if you’re traveling with pets. We enjoyed our short 2 day stay so much. Right in Old town San Diego. 5 minute walk to so many restaurants and shops. Joan was fantastic to deal with.

Very nice place to stay in! The onsite manager, Joan, is very sweet and a peach to talk to! Check in and check out was a super easy process. Blankets, towels, sheets, pillows, and cooking utensils were provided as advertised. You'll likely have to bring most of your own cooking ingredients but I prefer not using after strangers anyhow!

Perfect for us with our two dogs. They had a fenced yard and easy walking distance to old town. Had great off street parking. The host was very helpful and price was a fair one. bottom line if you need a place to make it your base while in town you’d be very hard pressed to find something better or as good

We’re thrilled that you had a positive experience and sure hope that you come back to see us before too long! All the best! 😊
