The property was great. Super clean and comfortable. Love the personalized welcome note. The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. It is a great location. Close to all the beaches. We loved being able to walk to OC Creamery and Doho Pizza. We would absolutely book this space again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness

Unfortunately, we were there during an extremely hot and humid weekend and it was very uncomfortable in the cottage and on the sunny deck. There were ceiling fans and a portable fan but they only blew very hot air around. We are elderly, (81 and 78yrs.) so we were adversely affected by the heat. The stairs to the front door were quite steep, so I advise using caution going up and down. The cottage itself was very nice, clean, nicely decorated. It had a well stocked kitchen for anyone wanting to cook.
