I stayed in the Roosevelt room-complete with "Teddy" the resident Teddy Bear. Had a great room spacious, and my bed was very comfortable. I had a small table with Wicker chairs that were very comfortable for relaxing. There was a nice little area outside my room to sit and relax outside and watch the hummingbirds and just enjoy. I don't... More

Our room was a bit frumpy, cheap furnishings, bed was low to the ground and the mattress (memory foam) was not comfortable. We stayed in the Mediterranean room, which has pillars. The room's windows overlook a parking lot for a business located behind it ... not ideal. The photos of this property look very picturesque, but the reality is different,... More

Wonderful expericene! The bed and breakfast was very quaint, and had a beautiful spot with the perfect view of the ocean on the top of the building. it has undergound parking, which i really liked. Continental breakfast had lots of choices, but the Champaign and chocolate covered strawberries were perfect. Can’t wait to go back. More

Walking distance to the beach and all restaurants. Very friendly staff. Clean. Great view from the roof-top... The only thing I could say on the down side is that the decore of our room seemed a bit old. Though, the rooms are "themed" and from what I saw they are all different and very nice. And the chocolate covered strawberries... More

We used a Groupon for a one night stay in Cardiff (chocolate strawberries at check-in). This property is past it's prime with a bit of a musty smell in the carpet and a funny, four post bed that needed a step ladder to access. It was in walking distance of everything we wanted to see in Cardiff by the Sea... More

Lovely and unique B&B. Staff is wonderful and very accommodating. Beautiful rooftop terrace and gardens.... serene.... nice jacuzzi and enjoyed sitting by the fire pit nightly! Amazing sunsets experienced on the terrace. Underground parking. Close to the beach and local eateries. Will absolutely be back!!! No restaurant directly on the premises, but the extended continental breakfast each morning, was fabulous..... More

We are locals to San Diego and thought we would support our local economy with a little overnight getaway in our own community. Thank goodness we purchased our one night on Groupon so that we didn't waste even more of our hard earned money! When we arrived and walked into the incredibly tacky and dated lobby, we should've been tipped... More

This is a very unique and lovely B+B. Very nice staff. The owners couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. An ideal location with beautiful gardens and the jacuzzi is great with nice strong jets. We will definitely be back and will tell others about our fabulous find. More

We stayed here for one night in September. Although they call it a B&B, it seemed like it was more of a hotel than a traditional bed and breakfast. The room (Cullen) was very dated and it needed some maintenance, a new bed spread and new carpet. Plus the wallpaper was peeling off the wall and the room smelled musty.... More
