Perfect Spot, just off the beaten path!

This was a PERFECT spot for my family of four’s, first time visit to the San Diego area. This cottage is within walking distance to a beautiful scenic beach area and just a short drive to all that the San Diego area has to offer. Rodney was very responsive and accommodating and had offered many suggestions for local spots. We would definitely recommend staying to anyone planning a visit…GREAT TIMES!!!

Winter getaway

We were in town to visit our SDSU student for a long weekend. The house is in walking distance to OB beaches and restaurants which was great since parking is always a challenge in San Diego. The house is a very cute little beach cottage in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect home base for us. Because it is a cottage, the kitchen is small - all we needed for a long weekend. Everything was clean and comfortable. The linens in the bath are due for an update, but everything else was great and Rodney was very helpful.

Ocean Beach Stay

The neighborhood this rental is in is one of the cutest, pedestrian friendly and nicest neighborhoods I have ever stayed in. Rodney gave us tons of recommendations on local places. Ocean beach is a nice chill beach frequented by locals. The rental is cute and clean. On street parking. No AC which is the norm in San Diego. Several fans provided for comfort. Comfortable tempurpedic beds.

Fabulous stay!

My 2 kids (6 & 11) stayed at this lovely cottage for 5 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The vottage is perfectly located in OB, away from the bustle of the main drag, but walking distance to the cliffs and some good food. It served as our home base while we explored San Diego. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and the garden was a lovely place to spend time drinking coffee and reading. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Spring Break

We had a wonderful time staying at the Sunset Cottage. The location is perfect, it is walking distance to everything in Ocean Beach. The neighborhood is friendly, and very low key. The home has been laid out very well and is very comfortable. The home had everything we needed for the week. Rodney was very easy to communicate with and stopped by a couple of times to remedy very minor issues. The only thing that surprised us about this property was the airport noise; the home is in the flight pattern for flights taking off. However, my kids loved watching the planes taking off on the beach.
