We had a very pleasant stay at this cottage. The view was stupendous. Lynn and Kitt and Tyler were all very helpful and available. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of towels. All the kitchen items you would want, such as toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, etc. They thought of everything you would need: beach towels, oscillating fans, tv in living room and main bedroom. There were a few downsides: the outdoor deck, stairs, handrails, gate were termite infested and splintering. After two very large splinters in my hand I learned to not touch them. When I saw the picture of the back garden I thought it would be a nice place to sit and have a cup of tea. The garden doesn't look anything like in the online photo. I suspect they are in the process of redoing it because it is simply not the garden that is online. Other than these two bits, we did have a great stay and I will say it again, the view was wonderful and the hosts were very good.

It was very pleasant place to stay. Youngest grandson spent all evening on top place. Breakfast on deck with ocean view. Lunches with gentel breath from ocean. 12 minutes walk to Swami beach and 15 by Cardiff Train Trail to plaza with strabucks and market. Evenings on deck. Watching sunsets, stars and moon. And just few trains, if you like them. Kitchen with good collection of cooking tools.

Excellent location. Charming cottage with all the necessities. Property needs updating/ deferred maintenance. Rotting deck, splinters, etc. bathrooms are tired. Everything works and it was certainly adequate for a family vacation. Owner could not be more pleasant.

We had a great relaxing stay. We had plans to go explore San Diego but the rental was so lovely that we canceled a few things to spend extra time enjoying the ocean from the large deck. We walked to the ocean on a few different days. It was an easy and nice walk. Our teenager loved the loft bed. It was quiet, clean, and nice. We would definitely stay again!
