Perfect little spot

Everything about this stay was perfect. The location was perfect. They have bikes available in the garage so you don’t have to worry about renting any which was a huge plus since that was our form of transportation. The communication with the property owner was excellent.Highly recommend and would stay again!

The bathroom sink and bathtub had an extremely slow drainage, the bed was not comfortable at all, very springy, and the pillows were not very great. Other than that, the location was great and the owner was very responsive.

Adorable Cottage

A few of my family members stayed in this adorable cottage! It slept 4 adults and was within close proximity to the beach, bay, and shops on the boulevard. The back patio area was a great space to hangout at night under the lights. Overall, they really enjoyed their stay!

Cozy cottage conveniently located within walking distance to the bay and the beach, and a nice outdoor area as well. Amenities were good, the only exception being, a hairdryer and a small microwave would have been helpful. We enjoyed our time and would stay here again!

A HIDDEN GEM!!

If you are looking for a clean, cozy vintage 1940's beach cottage this is a definite MUST STAY! Perfect for a couples get away -steps away from Mission Bay and a couple blocks from Pacific Beach, complete with restaurants, coffee shops and beach shops. Super tiny garage on site, but our SUV (Chevy Blazer) fit, and we walked everywhere. Definitely want to come back!! Thank you Josh & April!J Scholl

Perfectly situated between beaches, ocean or bay depending on your choice. Although small, the house is very functional. We in particular loved the patio. It was also terrific to have a garage but our Toyota CAMRY just fit in. Looking forward to our next stay!

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.

Perfect quaint beach cottage

We found this cottage to be exactly as advertised. The location is as good as it gets, and the property is clean and well maintained. Perfect for a small family or group looking to spend some time at the beach. Both the ocean and Mission Bay are less than 5 minutes walk. We enjoyed our time tremendously, and can't say enough good things. A true gem!

Fantastic

It was exactly as advertised. The space was very clean. The provided bikes were amazing as well, we used them the entire stay. The covered parking was great as well, no need to worry about fighting for street parking. I would definitely recommend staying here and we would love to come back in the future.

Vintage Beach Cottage with toys

Comfy cozy cottage in a very convenient location for walking to bay, beach and restaurants. Those over 6ft will not clear doorways, but the low ceilings are part of the charm. Both bed and couch were comfortable. Greatly appreciated the sand chairs, bikes and beach towels to use whenever we were inspired.
