Floors were a little soft in spots near small bed, main bed was small. Needs tongs for kitchen. Those are very minor complaints. Views were outstanding. Fireplace and dog friendly were the reasons for me choosing this place. I will repeat

Main bed was on a roller frame, that still had the wheels on it, so the bed moved constantly, even when just moving in bed. This place is fun, and quaint, but the cottages are in need of renovation. Bathroom was very small--I would have gladly sacrificed some room in the bedroom or living room for a larger bathroom. The living space is huge, but you could expand the kitchen and bathroom and still have lots of room. None of this would keep me from staying again. But some who are pickier than me might feel different.

It would have been fine except that the only heat source was a gas fireplace and it took 3 hours to get the room up to 67 degrees. There were old baseboard heaters that did not function. We were cold most of the time. The manager did try to help but she couldn’t figure out even how to work the remote control for the gas fireplace. There was a huge storm our second night and the electricity went out throughout the entire city so in the end we were glad we at least had the gas fireplace. My friend had stayed here a couple of months prior and she said she also had the same problem with being cold. Great place other than that if you want a great view and don’t mind a place that needs updating.

Very charming place. It's a million dollar view and very pet friendly. Only $10 per pet per night. The bed was comfy, parking was easy. Is it luxurious? No. But it's comfortable and charming. I'll take that all day every day.

The good: nice cottage on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Gorgeous view of the beach. The cottage is spacious and has a kitchen, a dining area, and an electric fireplace. The not-so-good: the staff is a mixed bag--some are friendly, but the lady doing the the night shift didn't even say hello. There is no housekeeping unless you specifically ask for it. And when I asked for late checkout, they gave me a whopping 30 minutes.
