As someone who has travelled to San Diego multiple times, I have had the opportunity to try out a few different types of accommodations. And hands down, my favourite is staying at a cottage. Here are four reasons why I think cottage rental is the best way to enjoy San Diego:
1. Location, location, location. Cottages are typically situated in quiet, residential areas, but are still close to all the attractions. This is perfect because it means you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city when you need to, but are also just a short drive away from all the action.
2. Amenities. Many cottages come with full kitchens, which is great for those who want to save money by cooking their own meals. They also typically come with laundry facilities, which is a huge bonus when you’re on vacation and don’t want to have to carry a lot of clothes with you.
3. Size. Cottages are typically much smaller than hotels, which makes them feel more like a home away from home. This is perfect for families or groups of friends who want to be able to spend time together, but also want some privacy.
4. Feeling of community. One of the best things about staying in a cottage is the sense of community you get with your fellow guests. Everyone is typically in the same boat – on vacation and looking to relax – so there’s a lot of opportunity to socialize and make new friends.
