Family-Friendly: Accommodations for larger groups

“What strikes me most is the enduring, family-run nature of this beachfront accommodation, a real contrast to many of today's fleeting ventures. Its cottage-style setup, complete with full kitchens, makes longer stays especially appealing, and puts families or groups right on Pacific Beach. I think its relaxed outdoor facilities, like the fire pits and barbecue grills, really encourage a social atmosphere.”
