Keywords: Cottage
It seems our beach house has inspired all the writers/actors/musicians and artists who have stayed with us. Chapters have been written and revised, musicals invented, canvases sketched and scenes rehearsed during their visit. It is no wonder. The remodeled cottage with its rich, earth tones (cinnamon-browns and soft oranges) are as comforting as the overstuffed living room sofa. Add to that, thick carpeting, wood floors and freshly painted walls. The brightly-lit kitchen has white cupboards, new appliances and granite countertops. The floor plan is open and conducive to lively conversation.
The final inspiration is the Pacific Ocean, less than one minute from the front door.
The backyard has a glass table and wicker chairs for outdoor dining. There is a gas barbeque, outdoor shower, chiminea with four chairs and outdoor lights. Our guests particularly enjoy the stereo in the backyard studio. Palms trees and colorful plants add a tropical feel.
There's room for Fido and the kids to play too!
Those who have vacationed in our beach house use the same words over and over to describe this special getaway: "Your cottage feels just like home. Except that it is seven houses from the beach!"
We invite you to visit.

Jim and Jane Howatt at home on their Oak View ranch - lots of majestic oaks,a vegetable garden and room for our five pups to roam. Jim is a health executive and Jane is writing a true crime book. They have had a special affinity for the Pierpont beach area for years. In June 2008, they bought their Camden Lane beach house and had so many requests from friends - they decided to share it! It has been a joy meeting all their new guests and friends.

WHAT A GREAT BEACH GETAWAY

I love this beach home...it was close to a dog friendly beach and to the harbor. My teens and friends kayaked in the harbor, swam daily in the ocean, boogie boarded, had the best ice cream at costal cone, amazing fish tacos on Seward, and the best fish and chips at Andrias. We tanned and chilled and read books, and made S'mores at the onsite firepit. Cant recommend it enough!
Recommended for:Age 55+, pet owners, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

We truly enjoyed out stay at this Cottage. There was relaxing, sunning, boogie boarding, walks on the sand with the dog and grandkids, bbqing, watching movies with the family in the evenings, playtime at the pirate park,OH BOY, riding scooters, stores very close by, coffee in the morning in the back yard, grandkids painting pictures on the grass in the front yard, read some great stories to the kids. Lots and Lots of pictures... The Cottage was very cozy comfortable and clean,the kitchen was fully equipt,bedrooms were great and Trader Joe's was close by. What more could you ask for? A great owner that communicated well and the discription of the property was extremely accurate, I have already recommended this as a great getaway for memories.

The location was great, the house was super cute, we LOVED the "club house" as my son called it, in the backyard. Overall, it was an excellent experience. We look forward to our next stay, and it will be there!
