Amazing location!! Also, so nice to have parking for 2 cars in this area. Great little cottage. We had some trouble with the lock, but Jennifer responded very quickly and took care of the problem. Would definitely stay here again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Location was great and place was clean and well appointed. Having 2 parking spots was really convenient. I live in Orange County and rarely go to the beach so it was nice to spend a little time in the sun and sand! Especially with the bathroom and parking close by.
