Great location close enough to the beach but far enough away to not be crazy. Loved the back yard for our dog. Everything was very comfortable including the king sized bed in the master. Would love to come back with more people.

Everything about our stay was excellent. Diane went the extra mile by providing croissants, a small frozen veggie pizza, a small chocolate sheet cake, and half and half for our coffee. After traveling all day and arriving tired and hungry in a strange town those extras are indeed very welcome. The kitchen contains everything necessary. The beds were clean and comfortable. We had an enjoyable time in San Diego and would recommend this centrally located place without hesitation.

Great little place to call home away from home

Other than the noisy air planes flying overhead, this was a wonderful home away from home to use during a stay in San Diego. Diane had everything we needed for our stay and we had accommodations for all seven of us in our family. And Diane was extremely nice and quick to respond to messages. Definitely a great place to stay.

Great location for a stay in San Diego!

We enjoyed our stay in Diane’s cute home. The backyard is beautiful and enjoyable to relax in. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The location is the best! It’s within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee. You do have to get used to airplanes flying over during the day, but the location makes up for the extra noise. We would definitely choose to stay again.

Beach life

Perfectly situated bungalow with easy walking distance to beach, restaurants and grocery. House had a kitchen and laundry so great setup for families, including some outdoor space. For light sleepers or folks traveling with littles, bring your hatch or use the provided box fans to drown out some of the airplane noises. We would absolutely return here on our next visit.

Also loved the commercial stove. Very very nice!Such a great dog friendly home. THANK YOU again to Diane. We will fondly remember this trip to San Diego & will highly recommend this little cottage.

Perfect fit

From the start, the host, Diane, was terrific. Her communication was just what you would hope for. The arrival process was simple and seamless. The amenities were as described and we did not want for anything. The WiFi and streaming services were also convenient and reliable. Even though it is just blocks from the beach, there was always ample parking out front. The backyard was very large and certainly dog friendly, as described. We felt welcome and relaxed. We would definitely return!

Perfect location, Host, and Stay

This lovely house and yard fit our needs perfectly for a week long getaway along with our pets. We had an uncommon need with our varied pet birds plus large dog and the hostess accommodated us wonderfully. We did our best to keep it all clean and had no issues, and all species were happy. I loved the enclosed back yard to hold our dog. This is very clearly a dog friendly and pet welcoming spot. Amenities were comfortable and plenty, I couldn't imagine anything better for our needs, and I hope to return again! Highly recommended, although I hope I don't have to get in a long line for next time once I let out the secret of this great place !

A gem!

Classic California beach cottage, located in the fun, yet laid back neighborhood of Pacific Beach. The cottage is easy to “ live in”, as you enjoy all the fun San Diego has to offer. Great beds, ample bed and bath linens for the whole family. 2 futons, and a cozy kitchen. Cozy living room, with a big screen TV. We loved the antique dining table and chairs. Bring your family! Location, location , location… only about 15-20 minutes to Downtown San Diego. Dog friendly house, sweet, well kept yard. Enjoy it all!

Beach getaway

We really enjoyed staying at this darling beach house. It was comfortable, clean and well stocked with the essentials. There were even some boogie boards and beach chairs for us to use. The backyard was safely fenced for our dogs and was welcoming and pretty. The only negative as others have mentioned is the air traffic pattern goes right over ocean beach. However, I found myself tuning out the airplanes easily. The host was terrific at communicating and even left a yummy treat for us in the fridge for our arrival. If you are visiting ocean beach I would definitely recommend this property.

Everything we needed and more!

We knew we wanted to head to SD for Fall Break and after scrolling endless homes, Diane’s pic of a pizza grabbed me right in!!! From booking to heading back home, Diane was on top of everything and very caring for our specific needs. I was travelling with my handicapped daughter and her retired service dog, and she helped tremendously by crafting a ramp for the front door for them!! The grass fenced in back yard was perfect for all the doggies!! After our car ride they enjoyed some zoomies! The house is bigger than most in the area and had everything you’d need! We forgot to sign the guest book but she did have a board full of good local eats! Her living close by gave it a very homey feel and I already miss the super hot shower and sun room! The mattresses were cloud like and we all slept great. Clean, simple, large, comfortable and dealing with a local owner already has its making plans to go back!!
