Host was very welcoming and even had a chalkboard above the bed wishing my wife a happy birthday. There are wonderful views of the water from the cottage as well from the lookout below. We saw sea lions leaping out of the water and frolicking, otters, porpoise, and eagles. Cottage is a little dated but has all the essentials including everything you need to prepare simple meals with many spices and condiments.. There are two popular food establishments nearby. We had tasty wood fired from pizza from Stokes. The hot tub was very welcoming after a long day at the beaches. Bath robes were provided.
