The cottage was everything we needed for our stay. Quiet, comfortable, good local food within walking distance. It's also on a direct route to downtown without hitting any tollroads. Easy drive from the airport as well. Gian is a great host, we won't hesitate to use this spot on a future trip.

Cozy Indoors & Outdoors

Just enough space for what we needed; cozy and comfortable inside, with lots of outdoor hangout options even in the small private yard. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great. It was easy to control the climate. The kitchenette was well stocked had all the basics to get us started. The quiet neighborhood has a coffee shop (good baked goods!) and small restaurant in walking distance (other end of the block), too.

Convenient Cottage

We had a great stay at Gian's driftwood cottage July 2023. It's cozy with great amenities & the private yard makes it feel much bigger. The bed & couch were comfortable and the Keurig coffee was nice. Parking in the alley was tight for a modest half-ton truck (19'l x 6.5'w), but still worked - better for a smaller 4-runner sized suv or compact car. Recommend!

Super clean and charming

Gian is a host who cares to make every little thing right. The bed is large and comfortable and all the amenities--like excellent coffee! -- are there. The place is just a bit small, with the bedside table somewhat hard to access. But I'd come back for the charm and quiet.

Cozy and Clean

The property was very clean and the check in process was made easy. The check out process we made easy as well. There were clear instructions typed inside the room as well as online. There were plenty of amenities. Plenty of room to sleep as well. I was looking for something closer to the airport, but the location was very close to a shipping center. Overall I was happy with the trip and the location was easy to find. I loved the king sized bed!!! We would definitely stay again!!
