Great area with lots of dining options within walking distance. Thurs, Fri, Sat, nites can be noisy as there is lots of nightlife nearby, great view of the Pacific and just steps away from the beautiful grounds of the property. Grocery store and pharmacy right across the street. Public transportation from San Diego airport right to the property. We'll be back.

Best stay on the boardwalk

I have stayed at the property many times over the years and love the location. Beds are comfortable and it’s very clean! Staff is super friendly. I’ve stayed at more expensive places on the boardwalk and they were not great. Aside from newer decor the stay was disappointing, because of that I always return to the Beach Cottages!
