Our family has been staying at the Beach Cottages during Christmas for nearly 30 years!! It has been a tradition we look forward to year after year, and that has a lot to do with our experience at the Beach Cottages! The location is unbeatable! It is right on the boardwalk in PB, just a ways down from the Crystal Pier. It's so close to the beach, you can literally throw a rock from most rooms onto the sand. We have seen many of the same staff working there for decades. Ranging from David and crew at the front desk, to Rafael and Jose in maintenance, to the wonderfully friendly housekeepers! It's always nice to see familiar faces over the years, and have the staff recognize and remember you. In my case, some of these people have "known" me since I was like 10 years old. We've seen this place go through changes and upgrades over the years, from new appliances, to flat-screens from tube TVs. They have both hotel style rooms, as well as cottage style apartments. We've stayed in both, though currently love the views from the 3rd floor. The main 1-bedroom rooms are equipped with a full kitchen, including a stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, plates and flatware, in addition to other kitchen tools. There is a separate living/dining area with a couch, soft chair, dining room table and chairs. The couch folds out into a bed which helps sleep more people, or kids. There is a full bathroom with a standup shower and tub. They also have smaller, half rooms. These are attached to the larger rooms and can be used as a 2-room set, or rented individually. The half rooms still have a small fridge and microwave, but no stove/oven or large kitchen sink. As for activities, they have multiple ping pong tables, as well as shuffleboard. They have the equipment out for use during normal operating hours. They've had wooden ping pong tables forever (which would warp over the years due to ocean moisture), though we noticed this year they had replaced the main one with a hard plastic material! They also have BBQ areas, fire pits, and laundry facilities that you can use. We love and look forward to our time at the Beach Cottages each year. We just got back from our annual trip a few days ago, and are already looking forward to going back!Thanks again for all the great service and good memories!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Beach Cottages this past weekend! What a perfect location. Nice clean and spacious accommodations, beds comfy. Close to restaurants, bars, grocery store and most importantly Pacific Beach! We can't wait to back!

Great location right on the beach. Was a little concerned about noise at first. Our room was right above the bar/restaurant downstairs. By 10pm, it was quiet! Other than a few late night partiers walking around. Left the balcony door open for a nice ocean breeze. Love ❤️

The wife and I did a 10-day 'backpack' vacation (LA, Oceanside, Gaslamp District of San Diego, Tijuana, and finished in Pacific Beach at the 'The Beach Cottages'. We rented a cottage (511) and were very happy. The Beach Cottages common area opens onto the beach walk, the cottage was very clean, spacious with a kitchen, and we felt very safe. Could only hear the waves at night, but yes there's a bar nearby. The staff were very friendly. The location is excellent with restaurants, shops, and a grocery store within a few minutes walk. San Diego Metro is excellent with a nearby bus stop that stops at Old Town where a free shuttle took us to the airport. The Beach Cottages were built a few years ago, so there's a retro-vibe that we loved. We felt the value was very good.

Awesome place near the beach. A little run down but great location, good coffee and pretty quiet. People at the front desk friendly too. Would stay here again for the price.

Great location but come to party as if you are here Friday/Saturday you will not be sleeping before 2am, lol. Maybe pack ear plugs. Rooms are very spacious! So nice to have full kitchen and dining areas. Ralph's grocery is only a few minutes away too. The bed and pillows are super comfy. Great view from 3rd floor of North building. We watched dolphins swimming by. Bathroom and furniture is a bit dated but clean. Staff is friendly. We would definitely stay again.Walkability: Basically on boardwalkFood & drinks: Walking to restaurants, bars, and grocery

Wonderful cottages right on the beach. Grocery store located right across the street. Kitchens are clean and updated with everything you need... utensils, pots, pans and dishes. Very clean rooms and property. Front desk staff was nice and very inviting! Will stay here again every year for a fantastic beach vacation.

My husband knows how much we love the beach, so he makes sure to book a place close enough to walk too. We didn't spend too much time here other than the coming to sleep. It was perfect because there was always something in walking distance. The pier, places to eat, bars to hang out at, and gifts shops. Perfect vacation spot.

I stayed here for a "momcation" getaway for one night and it was just perfect! I was able to ask for early check in through the text messaging system and check in was a breeze. Walking distance to all shops and dining. Once I parked I didn't have to drive my car to get anything. Incredible view, love the community feel of the whole place! Bummed pets aren't allowed (I love taking my pup on trips) but it's not a deal breaker for me seeing as it can be my special place away from home!

Great place. Stay away from the northwest corner of the building unless you like the bar scene. Music does not shut off until 2AM. Again, just matters what you ate into.Walkability: It is close to everything!
