David met us at our arrival and was very friendly and accommodating. The unit was spotlessly, clean and well appointed. There were a lot of extra touches, not usually found. Such as juice, coffee, milk, and the rare but coveted drip coffee maker. The bed was very comfortable. Location was great, just steps from the beach. We had a great visit.

What can I say... I can just attest to the fact hat everything that the previous stellar reviews said is true. With the exception that the photos of the interior posted by prior guests don't really give a justice to this place that is bigger and nicer that it appears on the photos. Also it is super clean, comfortable, quiet, and tastefully decorated. Am I posting my own inside photos? No because I was too busy running around taking pics of sunsets or resting comfortably on this ginormous bed...

OMGosh! What a gem Captain Java’s cottage is. Everything about my stay was pure perfection. How could it be anything but perfection when falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The cottage is adorable. Loved all the little details - so sweet. Very spacious and comfortable. I will most definitely be back. Thank you so much. PS. Parents/Grandparents of Cal Poly students, this is just 15 min from campus.

This is a beautiful cottage just steps from the beach and the hosts David and Sabine are very gracious and ready to help you and/or answer any questions you might have. Because of the location and the hosts, my husband and I have now stayed here 3 years in a row and are anticipating a return trip very soon. We had so much fun, we hated to go back home and this felt like a second home to us.
