Loved this place! Perfect for our small rat terriers— a great little fenced in patio to sit in right outside the door, and the pups loved getting to sunbathe while we sat outside. We could walk across the street to West Cliff Drive and stroll along the path to the lighthouse or back to the wharf as we enjoyed a gorgeous view of the ocean, boardwalk, beach, and surfers. Kristina, our host, was wonderful—readily available and super friendly, All the amenities needed were provided in this cozy little cottage as well. We hope to return!!
