Previous Reviews:
“What can I say other than this was by far the most fun, convenient beach vacation we have experienced yet. Walk to the beach, walk back if you want to get lunch, walk to a restaurant if you don't want to cook, listen to live music at Belmont Park, relax by the fire pit at night. We did it all! The beds are great, the space is warm and inviting, and my family really relaxed and enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces.”
“Our first time to San Diego and it did not disappoint, we trekked to all the cool Mission Beach sites and went out to see the Pandas at the zoo. We also enjoyed visiting downtown and Little Italy. The beach was fantastic and still calls my name. We are coming back for sure! The Jamaica Beach Cottage was perfect for all our needs and the outdoor deck was fun to sit and relax on while barbecuing.”

Vacation rentals in San Diego are for the most part, second homes for the owners and this one is no exception. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something. Professional photos are expensive and we can not re-photograph the rental every time something is changed but we do maintain the listing content with any notable furnishing changes especially related to sleeping arrangements. (*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed and anyway, it's usually an upgrade when something is changed.)
*NOTE: This home is in a residential neighborhood and, as such, is a NOISE SENSITIVE property. Respect must be shown for the property and neighbors at all times.

Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on any OTA such as Airbnb and VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.
To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as, payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.
This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

4 night minimum required in the off season.
