I had a great stay at Cottage Inn! It’s super peaceful and quiet you can hear the waves crashing nearby, which is so relaxing. The rooms are big, beautiful, and the beds are really comfy for a good night’s sleep. You need to call room service 24 hours ahead if you want your room cleaned. The pool is small, and you have to bring your own towels from your room. They have three fire-pits that are popular at night, and you can buy a s’mores kit from the front desk for $15, which was fun! The hotel connects to a few other hotels and shares beach access down a steep set of stairs. The beach is beautiful, and you can walk to the pier through the sand in about 13 minutes. No breakfast included, but the breakfast bistro has tasty options. Parking was easy, and the staff was really kind and helpful. I was really sad when we left such a chill, lovely place.

Upstairs neighbors were up all night moving furnit

I complained to the front desk and spoke to manager Tricia Eden, about our upstairs neighbor that was rowdy all night and apparently the next door neighbor complained as well. I was told since I didnt book through them, all they could offer was $10 free parking or late check out. I was not pleased

Our stay at the Cottage Inn by the Sea was an amazing one. We especially loved the spectacular location next to the shoreline. Enjoying the stunning views along the ocean-side walkway with its many seating areas and having easy walkable access onto the beach were the most appreciated aspects of this property. Also, the sweet swag bag for our senior dog was a wonderful touch.
