My wife and I celebrated Valentines Day on Saturday by leaving the kids with the grandparents and coming down to the beach. We will often just head down to PB and wing-it, finding a room that day (as opposed to booking in advance). My wife had stayed at the Beach Cottages in the past but this was my first time... More

Stayed this past week at Beach Cottages in cottage 512..on the beach.. and we loved it there. We heard good things from family who have stayed there in the past. The sunsets were awesome. We really enjoyed watching the surfers and dolphins... Very very clean, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Just a quick walk... More

We were not happy with the hotel that we booked so we drove over to Pacific Beach, CA to look for a beachside hotel. This was Thanksgiving week so I wasn't sure we would be able to find something. Beach Cottages was able to give us a great room with a ocean view for a good price. Comfy beds. We... More

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I first found this place when I stayed there while at a work conference in San Diego...and have been going back there ever since. One of the hardest things about the beaches in San Diego is parking....here you obviously get free parking because you are staying there. There are some great places to eat and shop... More

We have been back 5 years in a row as our annual friend trip. We love the location as it is right on the beach and it's nice to walk back and forth to the room. The two bedroom sleeps 7 comfortably. A new bar opened adjacent to the hotel and wow talk about NOISY! It's definately excellent 20 something... More

My wife & I were thoroughly happy with our Beach Cottages experience during the week including Christmas 2010. Booked an oceanfront cabin (5 months prior). The view from our windows? Well, I would have to say it ranks in the top five - ever. Gorgeous Pacific Ocean sunsets. Magnificent swells curling through the Crystal Pier to the North. Early morning... More

If you are expecting the Ritz go somewhere else. But if you want a great fun location, clean rooms and old school California ambience, come here. We have been visiting for years and hesitate telling more people only because we want to keep it to ourselves. It is not fancy, no huge screen TVs, room service, etc. But what it... More

The Beach Cottages is one of the best places to stay for families who want a San Diego beach vacation. We have stayed in both the cottages and motel rooms and have enjoyed both. Not having to fight for a parking space just to go to the beach is fantastic, the kids can run back to the room to use... More

We stayed at here over 4th of July weekend. Great location, right on the beach - can't be beat. Older place, lots of families. The only downside was the noise noise noise. We were expecting this since we were right on the beach & during a holiday weekend but we were exhausted from lack of sleep by the end of... More
