This cottage home was absolutely gorgeous! It was immaculate and a lot of thought had obviously gone into making our stay as pleasant as possible. The neighborhood was terrific and the neighbors kind and friendly (adored next door doggie neighbor Maverick!). It is located close and within easy walking distance to the beaches, the bay and the many restaurants and shops located on 2nd street. We had wonderful strolls along the bay and along the Long Beach bike and pedestrian path. Even got to enjoy a "Moonlight Movie on the Beach", which was just wonderfully fun! We enjoyed paddle boarding in the bay and around Naples. Also got in some wonderful beach time. The cottage is so comfortable and inviting, we lazily just enjoyed hanging out there (perhaps a bit too much!) while the ocean breeze flowed through the front patio doors. Our daughter adored the loft bed and made it her personal cocooning spot. The cottage is fully stocked with all the necessary amenities (much more than we have often found at other rentals) and everything was of such impressively high quality. This is not just any rental, it is a lovely home. We were told, up front, that parking could be difficult, as is often the case in beach communities. However, we were always able to find parking within the block of the cottage, on the few occasions when we actually felt the need to drive somewhere. The owners (Monica) went to great lengths and showed us such immense kindness and compassion to accommodate us with regards to a personal situation that arose during our stay (an unexpected need to leave to attend a funeral). Truly an unexpected level of kindness and generosity that we were immensely grateful for. This rental far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Only complaint? The beautiful pictures on VRBO simply do not do it justice. It is so much lovelier in person! Thank you, so very much, Monica, for your kindness and all you did for us during our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and amazing beach cottage with us!
