This location can’t be beat. It’s like summer camp in the city with a fun porch in front to watch people and tables in back to eat outside if you’d like. The beds are comfy, and the accommodations are quaint. We made use of the beach chairs in an easy jaunt to the bay.

the room was very, very nice! I could not ask for more. I will stay there again anytime!
It was a very unique room but definitely worked out great for the 4 of us. Room was clean, and they had extra blanket and a room heater. Plenty of parking space

The room was nice and cozy. It was also within walking distance of the Hotel Del Coronado. We would definitely stay here again.
Limited parking. Didn't know check in procedure before arriving. No person. No answer to phone but did respond quick to text giving us check in instructions. Cute place. Clean. Walked to shopping. Would like more choices in case the parking was taken. Loved no extra parking fees! Would stay again!

Okay for overnight stay only
Parking was easy. Close to shops. Room was extremely small. Not worth the price. Old and poor ventilation.
