"The Crystal Pier is perfect for vacationing families, groups of friends, and pretty much everyone else, too."
Fodor's
"Rustic little oases with a charm all their own, the cottages may lack some of the amenities of comparably priced hotels, but you're paying for character and proximity to the ocean."

"Reservations are essential for these 1927 Cape Cod-style cottages which sit directly on the pier. Many have kitchenettes, and patios with views of Pacific Beach."
