Very clean, great location, and perfect size!

We had a great time at the Sea Star Cottage. It was a central location to everything in PB, and it had what we needed for our short weekend trip. Great hosts and wonderful stay!

Perfect Cottage

This cottage is wonderful - beautifully decorated, had the amenities needed for 1-2 people, and was a 20 minute walk to the beach, with restaurants and coffee also within easy walking distance. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to stay!

Perfect with beautiful patio

We enjoyed everything about our stay in this cute beach cottage. The only improvement we could suggest is to upgrade the mattress and pillows. We appreciated the cute decor, the comfortable couch and table, and the supplied dishware and coffee. The patio is absolutely gorgeous, especially with lighting at night.

Beautiful Room

Everything was wonderful except the bed was rock hard with flat pillows. A nice feather mattress and pillows, (4)instead of two would have elevated the stay to luxury.

A Gem in PB!

This cottage was the perfect spot for a month long stay…….ideal walkable location, cute, clean and well equipped for light housekeeping. The hosts were very attentive and accommodating. Great security, safe neighbourhood feel, and gorgeous patio/yard. Would definitely consider another stay. Thank you, Jeff and Andi!

Extremely good value.

Ample parking, very safe neighborhood in walking distance of Trader Joe's, the beach is just a bikeride straight down the street. However, above and beyond the owner clearly cares about the property. It may not be brand new, but it's immaculate and the bathroom looks like it was recently redone.

Lovely, clean property

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights as we were going to a wedding in La Jolla which is about 4 miles away. Exactly as described on website. Close to shops and restaurants. Host replied quickly and was super helpful when we got in touch. If I was being picky I would say there was no kettle for cups of tea however we just ran the coffee make through a few times and used that to heat water. Would definitely stay here again.

Sea cottage in Pacific Beach

This sea cottage is as advertised, a detached cottage in Pacific Beach. The unit met all of my needs as the unit was very tidy and had a comfortable bed, fridge, table and chairs, small bathroom. Although I had a car, the walk to the beach is nice and only about a mile. It is very convenient to freeways and downtown Pacific Beach. Outside the unit is a nice patio and chairs and a large avocado tree. The owner, Marvin, was very helpful before and during my stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Great as always!

This was my 6th stay at this cute beach studio. It’s my go to whenever I’m visiting San Diego. Bathroom is a convenient layout with instant hot water. The long counter above the sink is great for organizing toiletries. The grounds are beautiful and the furnishings are very comfortable. Lots of natural light but closes up tight for the evening. The space heater is plenty to warm the room and is silent. I’ll be back! Highly recommended!

Talk about the hostess with the mostess!!

Adrienne and Marvin went over backwards to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable! Can't believe that Marvin even hooked us up to go to the beach with beach chairs beach umbrella beach towels and give us a ride there and drop us off and picked us up! The cottage was perfect nice comfortable queen size bed . shower big with good water pressure.. very clean... nice size small fridge microwave coffee pot and coffee which they supplied as well! We will definitely be returning someday soon :-) thank you Marvin and Adrienne!!

Wonderful Stay at the Sea Star Cottage

I can't say enough good things about my stay at the Sea Star Cottage. The cottage itself is adorable. I felt so safe the entire time, it's cozy, comfy with an AC unit, bathroom is so clean. There's a fridge (perfect for storing my snacks I picked up throughout the day) and a microwave. It's behind a fence, so it feels secluded from the road and very safe. Jeff and Andi are great hosts. They let me drop my bags off a few hours before check-in behind the cottage, where they were secure. The location is excellent! Pacific Beach is such a cool neighborhood and exactly the San Diego vibes you'd imagine. The cottage is 10 blocks from the beach. Bring some comfy sneakers and you can walk to so many restaurants, bars, the beach, Mission Blvd, Garnet Ave. You can even walk to Mission Beach along the boardwalk. If you Uber/drive to other areas, everything feels just about 10-15 minutes away. Very easy and convenient location. I can't wait to return to San Diego and stay at the Sea Star Cottage again! Bonus: Bode the French bulldog is sooo cute!
