Blue Heron Cottages offers an affordable way to stay close to the coast in San Diego, without paying for space you won't use. The property is six cottages, each about 525 square feet, set around a shared courtyard in Ocean Beach, a short walk from Dog Beach and the main strip of restaurants and shops on Newport Avenue. Dogs of all sizes are welcome, a pet fee applies, and the setup suits couples, small families, and travelers with dogs looking for a comfortable, no frills coastal base.
