I overall had a fine stay at the property! Negatives: The room was a little dirty, things had not been wiped down thoroughly, and the towels and sheets had stains. One of the ice bins under the sink had some mold growing in it (clearly was wet and ignored for a while!) Additionally, the rooms are not very sound proof, you can hear everyone around you, but it was pretty quiet by 10pm when quiet hours kicked in. Positives: The location is incredible, right on the ocean, with easy walking access around the Mission Beach area, and immediate beach access. Lots of restaurants and little shops around to check out. The staff were very kind and helpful. I don't know that I would stay here again other than for the incredible location.

Stay was great, service was amazing!! The hotel and cottages could use an upgrade as they’re very dated and showing wear however they were very clean (minus a bandaid we found in a blanket) everything else was clean. Plus you’re right at the beach - location is superb!

We loved our cottage at The Beach Cottages. We were steps from the beach. Our room had a kitchenette and we walked to Ralph’s to get some groceries. However there are tons of great places to eat really close to the hotel. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They keep the place very nice! We had such a great time!

The location is amazing. Right on the seawall, and parking is easy with FOB access. We stayed in a beach cottage and it was cozy and perfect for the night. A bit rustic but everything you need is right there, the furnace worked great, wifi was perfect, bathroom great, linens etc great, and the view is amazing. You can't get any close to the beach. The only small issue we had was early in the morning when I used the microwave the power circuit to the whole cottage tripped and we lost all power. Not great since my wife was in the shower in the dark, but a call to the front desk had it fixed within 5 minutes, and I wouldn't let that ruin my stay. Overall it was great and we will be back.

It’s right on the beach. We had so much fun! It was PERFECT for our family. We would love to stay here again. The front desk even gave our kids ketchup because we forgot to pick some up.
