Charming Cottage Cottage, San Diego CA

The owner is very good at clear communication. Hospitality is excellent. A really nice bottle of wine was waiting for me. Also stocked with coffee. Which is so great even though I ended up going to one of the wonderful coffee shops nearby. Walking distance to great food and shops.

My husband and I, and our adult daughter and her boyfriend stayed here for 5 nights over Thanksgiving. I chose this house because of the good reviews, and its location, which is just 2 blocks from my son’s apartment. I am leaving an honest review based on our stay. The house was clean, overall. There were some dead bugs on the windowsill in the front bedroom, and one of the blind slats was broken, but not the biggest deal in the world, so we cleaned it up and did the best we could with the broken slat. The toilet seat was loose, and several of the towels had bleach stains, but bathroom was clean enough. Living area and kitchen were clean. The backyard was never really used as the seat cushions were filthy. I attempted to clean them off with paper towels, and decided it just wasn’t worth it. We had issues with the internet the first night, as the password provided with our check-in instructions wasn’t correct, but the owner was very responsive and helpful and got us all logged in. The location of the house is great, but it is very dated and had more of a “college apartment” vibe. The bedrooms are combined in a way where you need to walk through one room to get to the other, which could be awkward, but the beds were comfortable. Overall, the house is old/dated, but was clean and comfortable. The backyard was not quite an oasis, but has great potential to be. The fountain was a lovely touch. I would possibly consider staying again as the location is great.

The property is in a great location and there is a lot to do. The host was very communicative. Would definitely stay here again while visiting San Diego.

Cute rustic space. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Has all the amenities. We’ll go back!’

Came from Florida for an annual birthday trip to spend time with family. So many wonderful places to shop and eat. My favorite bookstore was just blocks away! There were restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops and unique bars so close that we didn’t need to drive out of the neighborhood to eat or drink. I’d love to come back next year!

Awesome location, in a great neighborhood within walking distance of coffee, restaurants, shops, and a Target. The house itself was lacking in cleanliness and the wifi was functionally nonexistent. Bill was very responsive when concerns were raised.

Old, dated and dirty. Cob webs hanging from light fixtures and under edges of cabinets. Spiders in almost every corner. However, when there were no towels, Bill showed up within 10 minutes with armload of towels and when fridge broke down on our third day, he immediately ordered a new one and provided us with a small one until new one was delivered.Patio was amazing, but could also use some elbow grease.The place was cute and quaint, but well below our clean standards.H cabinets. Spiders in almost every corner

Excellent location

This property was perfect for 3 people. The little oasis in the back yard was a perfect place to sit and enjoy coffee.

Stayed here for a few days with my wife and toddler. Fabulous location in the middle of South park, no dedicated parking but always parked on street out front. Host was very nice and accommodating also

I really had a good time
