  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    Though perhaps not as 'obviously' classy as some other San Diego hotel staples, the Crystal Pier offers up families a beach cabin feel without worrying about cleanup or tenants

    • Description:

    • If historic charm is higher on your wish list than hotel-style service, head to this unique cluster of cottages sitting literally over the surf on the vintage Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. You'll get a separate living room and bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private patio with breathtaking ocean views -- all within the whitewashed walls of carefully renovated cottages from 1936. Each of the Cape Cod-style cottages has a deck. The more expensive units farthest out have more privacy. Six less expensive units are not actually on the pier, but still offer sunset-facing sea views. Guests drive right out and park beside their cottages, a real boon on crowded weekends. This operation is strictly BYOBT (beach towels), and the office is open only from 8am to 8pm. These accommodations book up fast; reserve for summer and holiday weekends 8 to 11 months in advance, 4 to 6 months in advance for winter. Or with luck, you might be able to nab someone's cancelled reservation.
