    Ocean Beach was a great beach town. Host went above and beyond for us. Amazing hospitality! Very clean House, made us feel at home! We loved the small town businesses all within a short walk from the Cottage. We also had a sweet neighborhood cat that visited us. Took plenty of photos but it wouldn’t let us add them because they exceeded the size limit.

    Rodney’s sweet cottage is clean, comfortable, and has all the amenities to feel at home. We stayed 6 days while my son played baseball at Point Loma University. During our stay we enjoyed walks to the beach, cozy evenings at “home” in the back patio, naps in the hammock and breakfast on the front porch surrounded by butterflies and hummingbirds. Thank you, Rodney, for your warm welcome and communication.

    This tastefully decorated charming cottage was just as depicted in the listing (minus firepit in backyard). Kitchen is small but well stocked with good quality cookware and appliances. Street parking was usually easy to come by right in front of house. Drive to everything we wanted to see was easy and usually took 15-20 minutes. Walking distance to fun restaurants and ocean views. Front and rear gardens are beautiful. Beds were comfortable and cotton sheets especially nice. Things to be aware of: houses are close together and occasionally there was noise from neighbors (and to be fair they probably heard us talking too!). Like much of San Diego the house is on a flight path. Planes fly overhead all day but you sort of get used to it. House not suitable for anyone handicapped. Steps to get in and small bath and close quarters.

    We loved the location of Rodney’s house! We were able to so easily walk to the beach and go to great reataurants. Plus the other attractiions that interested us like the Zoo and Sea World were a quick drive away. The landscaping was all so beautiful!

    My daughter and her family stayed here over Christmas and loved it, so I knew I would be happy there. It was well equipped, quiet, and easy to find parking on the street. It was also spotlessly clean.

    It was everything described by others. Darling and close to beautiful ocean views and sunsets. We enjoyed coffee and quiet time in the garden in the mornings. The cottage is darling and well equipped with all we needed. We had four adult women all family and were very comfortable.

    Excellent location in a quaint SoCal neighborhood with easy going vibe. The cottage has everything one needs and is a great home base for your adventures. Coming back from a day out and relaxing in the garden is a perfect 10.

    Our stay at the Garden Cottage was a delight. It’s in a beautiful, quiet, walkable neighbourhood with easy street parking. The cottage was spotless, charmingly decorated and outfitted with new appliances, comfortable beds and everything you need to feel like you’re in a home-away-from-home. And you’re close to the stunning Sunset Cliffs!Rodney went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. His communications were prompt and informative complete with tips on local eateries and sights. You feel like you’re conversing with a real person who cares about his guests and his cottage. Without a doubt, I recommend the Garden or Sunset Cottages!Wendy from Vancouver, BC, Canada

    The Garden Cottage is set back in a peaceful garden teaming with hummingbirds and pollinators. We enjoyed having meals on the deck overlooking the garden and relaxing on the backyard patio. A great spot for spending time with family. Rodney was a perfect host who went out of his way to assure our stay was enjoyable!

    There were a few issues with the property. The front door lock had some issues and one of the bedroom windows wouldn’t stay open. Also there is some chipping in the bathtub. Manager was very communicative but I wish those things had been fixed.
