Great find! Non-Smoking Property has little cottages and two buildings with motel rooms; we stayed in motel room on third floor. Delighted to find we had a room with a balcony (complete with chairs and small table) overlooking the beach, kitchen, and sitting area next to Queen bed. Extras: BBQs for guest use, ping pong tables, lots of decent-sized parking... more

I had a great experience at the Beach Cottages. I booked a cottage and an apartment suite for 8 ladies on a girls weekend. You cannot beat the location! The beach is right outside your door and there is a Ralph's across the street, along with plenty of bars and restaurants. We went to the Gaslamp District, about a 10... more

I stayed here with my 82 yr. old mother and 3 senior sisters in October. It was great!! It is certainly family oriented and the only complaint I had was the ice machine not working, BUT repaired the next day. The entire place is clean and comfortable and location is the best. The staff was helpful on check-in, but nobody... more

This is a pretty good place to stay for the price if you want to be close to the beach....and the bars! Me and my friends stayed in one of the apartment suites which was perfect for us, large room with plenty of space and included 2 queen size beds, a sofa bed and a kitchen. Although the apartments arent... more

I stayed in a motel room at The Beach Cottages, in Pacific Beach for five nights, and think I can answer some questions single travelers may be having about choosing this particular property for their getaway. First, and foremost, the view and location simply cannot be beat. Close to everything you need, and miles of boardwalk make this spot ideal... more

Let me start out by saying that everyone has different expectations of their hotel experience. What I wanted was a clean room at a reasonable price ON THE BEACH. Not "near" the beach but I wanted to be right there. The Beach Cottages was the perfect place for my vacation style and budget. I stayed in the smallest/cheapest room in... more

My daughter (16) and two friends went to Comic-Con and wanted to spend the next day at the beach. I found The Beach Cottages and was worried they might not really be on the beach. When we arrived, I couldn't believe how close the Pacific Beach was to the hotel. We stayed in the North Building, and Trip Advisor reviewers... more

Just got back from a 4-day stay at the Beach Cottages. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment which include a kitchen (my husband and I have 4 teenagers). The rooms were clean, staff was helpful (though we had few needs), and the proximity to the beach made for a perfect location. There price is right - there aren't a... more
