This was the right price for our fall trip. The room was dated, but clean and in good repair. No ac was a bit rough but the two provided fans were helpful. Having the windows open at night let in a ton of noise late at night and early in the morning. For what this is, it was a good value and fit what we needed.

Great beach access

Acess to the beach was amazing although the view from 2nd floor balconies are blocked by the roof tops of cottages. This was my 4th time here and will certainly be back.
Sunsets were gorgeous.

Perfect Beach Location

This place was perfect for our family trip. We loved that it had a small kitchen with all the essentials so we can stay in and cook as well. I felt like everything we can need or want was within walking distance. I definitely would stay here again the next time we visit San Diego.
