Our family, 5 of us ages 28-90, and one dog enjoyed our stay. The location is the best part. We were able to walk almost everywhere. I am giving the property 4.5 stars because I think a few upgrades, would make the property a 5 star. It is advertised as air conditioned. Two of the bedrooms have ac, but the living room does not. The living room was the hottest place in the house because of the afternoon sun. One of the AC units broke the first day we were there, even though they had a repair person there working on it as we arrived. It flooded the bedroon. They got someone out 2 days later to replace it. Mini splits would be a huge improvement. Also a little updating would not hurt. As much as we wanted to let the fresh air in, the curtains were cheap, and almost impossible to move, blocking the fresh air when we opened the windows. Some of the kitchen drawers were falling out, and there was peeling paint around the house. A dishwasher would be nice as well. We loved the front porch, and sat out there daily enjoying the ocean breeze. I would stay again, but would also seek out other properties in the same price range first.

Our family of 4 adults and one dog enjoyed our stay! The house was well equipped, clean, as advertised, and communication was easy. We would love to stay again. The master bedroom was spacious, the other 2 bedrooms were smaller. The beds were comfortable and we used the a/c units in the bedrooms and the living room fan. We walked to the dog beach, people beach and to wonderful restaurants and drove once to Cabrillo National Monument. The 2 bathrooms were appreciated and so were the ample towels. We brought our own beach towels. Having the outside shower was great. The tandem parking in the rear was greatly appreciated. Access to the house was communicated well and easy.

Beach lovers dream! Having the new beach chairs and umbrella for use for the very short walk to beach was great. We walked to most restaurants and were happy to have a parking spot for nights we did leave the neighborhood.

House was perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of space. Lots of awesome outdoor space to enjoy san diego weather. So close to the beach. House was very clean when we arrived. Host provided lots of extras that most places I rent do not have. House made our trip perfect. Thanks

Had everything you need.

Cozy home, close to the water!

My family (7 adults) had a very comfortable stay at Margaritaville! The kitchen was well equipped with all the dishes, pots, & pans we needed. The BBQ grill was nice to have...we enjoyed dinner outdoors. The front patio was perfect for our family and pups to hang out too. The beach was so close you could smell, hear, & see it from the front door. The beds were comfy. We were able to walk to most places, including so many coffee shop options, restaurants & shopping. Parking for 2 vehicles was great but also had no issues parking a 3rd vehicle on the street (just be careful on Wednesday- no parking 7a-10a). Ocean Beach and Dog Beach are next to each other which was great for those of our group that didn't have dogs and perfect for the two of us who brought our pups along. The pier is closed right now for repairs but didn't stop us from enjoying the beaches and shopping. I was able to wash a load of laundry in the washer/dryer on the patio. The rooms are connected but easy enough to navigate with multiple access points. Water stayed nice and warm for all of us & there was plenty of towels (no beach towels). They had beach gear available for us to use...it was great having beach chairs! We took a few short drives to catch some other views, it was great to have a comfy spot to come back to. We opened the windows and it cooled the house down fast! It is a little older but was very clean. We called once to get help with the ac hose and they were prompt & professional.

Love this location! You are a 2 minute walk to the beach. Abbotts market is a 1 minute walk and all the restaurants and shops on Newport are a 10 minute walk. We usually stay closer to the pier but we booked on Brighton and I’m so glad we did. It’s a quieter more family friendly area. The house has a parking space you can’t beat that! Really appreciate the little touches like beach gear and beach toys. Water pressure is great for the showers and the outdoor shower has hot water which was really nice after taking a dip in that cold ocean water. Honestly I would highly recommend this cottage for families or a small group. The only complaint I have is I wish the floors under the beds and couch area had been a bit cleaner. But to give the benefit of the doubt this is pet friendly cottage and we may have come at an odd time because all the previous reviews had stated how sparkling clean the cottage was for them.
