Sleep on the pier in San Diego's hip Pacific Beach district.
Only in San Diego can you sleep in a 1930s cottage — on the pier! These adorable little rentals book up to 11 months in advance, making them one of the hardest-won hotel stays in California.
The historic pier, located in Pacific Beach between Mission Beach and La Jolla, was built in 1927. The Cape Cod-style cottages date back to 1936, and have been lovingly maintained with all the comforts of home. Take your pick from a studio, 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom unit, each equipped with a television, kitchen, linens and private deck. And yes — every cottage has a full ocean view.
During the day you can surf, sunbathe and shop. Everything is in walking distance — from bike and surfboard rentals to funky beach bars and restaurants. For the best eats, try Kono's (858-483-1669), World Famous (858-272-3100) and JRDN at Tower 23 (858-270-2323).
