We had such a great time staying at the Cottages for our spring break! The location can't be beat! Sure, things are a little outdated but everything was clean and working. We will be back and have already told our friends and families that this place is great!

The property is in a nice location and overall was good. It is dated and our room wasn't the cleanest. There were areas that had not been thoroughly cleaned for some time. The amenities are dated. The refrigerator looked as though it had been beaten up. This is definitely a "party" area with lots of surrounding bars/eateries (which is fine if that's what you're looking for). It was, however, noisy with lots of people milling around. Most of them didn't appear to be staying at the hotel. Both nights we had people in the parking lot beneath our window talking loudly (2 and 3 am). The office was responsive to our complaint about this, but the people only moved slightly away when asked. It was an overall okay stay, but we would not stay again.

Very nice place with friendly staff. Would stay again.

Had a great time and location is great. Just sad to see CA voters continually vote in the same people that don't give a rats ass about you or anyone but their own power, so it's sad to see crackheads at every freaking beach we go to, including a fight and arrest right outside of our window of the beach cottage. Entertaining, yes....but sad. Cali used to be such a beautiful place, and it seems that every place worth visiting is crawling with BS. Kinda like getting a nice diamond ring with a turd on it. Underneath is great, but no one wants to clean it up so that you can enjoy and see it. Nice job Cali!! Otherwise, great location, still had a good time. Nothing against the property.

Friendly staff, comfy cottage, Perfect Location, Parking.

The property is in a great location! Easy to walk everywhere. The staff was very helpful. It is a bit outdated, but served it's purpose. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent for everything Close to lots of activities and the room was very comfortable and clean Looking forward to doing same trip next year !!!

Very central location and tons of things to do in the area. Kitchen was great and beach was steps away. Our family loved it.

We had a wonderful experience here. We will definitely be back. The ocean view from the third floor of the main building is amazing. I only have one complaint, well it’s really not a complaint but it’s a preference, I wish there was a tv in the bedroom of the apartment. The kitchen has pots and pans and utensils. And Ralph’s is right across the street so you can buy drinks and food. The patio had ping pong tables and bbq grills. The staff communication is wonderful. I just wish our trip was longer to use all the amenities they had to offer.

The Best

Awesome views. Safe, family friendly environment. Gated property leading directly to/from boardwalk. Cozy cottages and comfy new beds. Highly recommend. Masks required while on site.

Property is right on the beach. Cottages are cozy and bed is comfy. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay again.

Location is perfect. Bed was very comfortable. Staff very pleasant.

Loved the property, staff and that parking was included in price.

The property was great. There where left over boggie boards that ours could use

The Beach Cottages is a comfy place, right on the beach, that is close to everything. It's nothing fancy (another plus!) and we feel right at home every time we stay!

Location is hard to beat. Room was clean but dated. Fine for a short stay
