cottage rental amenities

This very special, 1922 knotty pine paneled, Sears and Roebuck beach kit cottage was lovingly
restored in 2007. It was designed to accommodate San Diego's extraordinary year-round weather. In the
front is a private gated yard elevated above the street and bordered with palm trees. A delightful
gourmet kitchen awaits you just inside the front door and includes two under-the-counter
refrigerators, an under-the-counter freezer, a Jenn Air range and a microwave. The large counter
space and tall stools on the opposite side create a fun and interactive place to eat. The entire
cottage is surrounded by 280 degrees of deck, has keyless entry and there’s even a hidden stackable
washer and dryer just off the back patio. If you appreciate true craftsmanship, you will love this
cottage. No matter where you are in this cozy abode you will feel relaxed!

Some History on our Beach Cottage: 100 years ago, the ground underneath this beach cottage was the
beach. In 1918, an amusement park, Wonderland Park, was located here. The cottage sits on the ground
which was formerly the concrete pad around the Wonderland Park Carousel. In 1922, three beach cottage
kits were erected on Lotus Street.

Today, these cottages are some of the oldest and quaintest Ocean Beach structures. LotusCottages is
magical!

Lotus Cottages

RQ (California)
Review submitted: February 29, 2008   Date of arrival: October 1, 2007

We were evacuated during the California Wildfires and so we rented this cottage for four days. We really enjoyed staying there. I enjoyed the fact that because it has been recently renovated, everything was brand new. I am also a history buff and standing on the part of the back deck that used to be Wonderland simply intrigued and excited me. The cottage was cozy and comfortable and the decks gave us an opportunity to get away from people which is what I really needed to do. I loved the stained glass windows in the bedroom and bathroom and the sound system was pretty terrific. I have a penchant for wood, so I really enjoyed the paneleing and cabinets. They are beautiffuly done. The beach really is maybe a two minute walk away and the pier is very close. All and all my husband and I had a great time there and in spite of worrying whether or not our home would be there when we returned, we were truly able to relax and enjoy the beach community life and there is plently to do within walking distance. The only thing I could say that "could" be a problem is parking if you have more than one car. There is parking on the property for one car, otherwise you have to park on the street. Though it is a beach community which by nature has a lot of people, I felt very safe there.
The cottage was setup the way it was presented in the advertising, it is clean and very well maintained, I didn't have to deal with the owner much but he responded to my questions or requests quickly. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to be at the beach but have privacy too. We mostly just cooked in the kitchen but we did go to Thee Bungalow for dinner one night and really enjoyed it.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Thank you very much for your kind words. I am so glad that we were able to provide you a temporary home during that trying time. We're glad you enjoyed LotusCottages so much. We put a lot of energy, effort and love into restoring this special historic beach cottage. The knotty pine paneling is so beautiful and it has such a terrific golden glow. The romantic night-time lighting in the living room and the bedroom make for such wonderful, enchanting memories. It's also great to know that you enjoyed our kitchen so much. Isn't that JennAir system terrific! I love the high-tech glass cooking surface. Again, thank you so much for appreciating the beauty and the history of LotusCottages.

This place is so great. We fell in love with OB all over again. Thank you so much for letting us stay here. This cottage is absolutely gorgeous – you did a GREAT JOB with every detail. From all the mini-fridge space to the backpack beach chairs. You thought of everything. We can’t thank you enough. We will definitely come back! Thanks! It was amazing!

A fabulous stay at Lotus Cottages.

Review submitted: May 4, 2011   Date of arrival: April 4, 2011

A fabulous stay at Lotus Cottages. We had great weather – sunny, 70s and especially enjoyed the proximity to the beach – people watching – surfers, volleyball players, dog walkers, joggers, children mesmerized by the surf … as well as walking down the bike path along the river, with a plethora of birds on the left and skateboarders on the right. We loved Torrey Pines – both the beach and the hiking in the reserve.
The cottage met all of our needs – a great home base.
