I was looking for a cottage by the sea in Southern California - and I wanted to rent a place in the Beach Cities, as I knew the area a little through visits here with my job. After finding this cottage by the sea, on airbnb last year, my 13-year old daughter & I knew we had to return, and we've been counting days since last fall, arriving at these quaint, charming and beautiful cottage! Our second time here, and it is so lovely to be back! The cottage is even nicer than in the pictures; it's so clean, equipped with everything you need, and just two mins walk from the beach. Bed is super comfy, and it's in a quiet and lovely neighbourhood. I sleep so well here:) Wendy and her friend are the nicest hosts I've ever met; warm, attentive, caring and well travelled. The location is superb, and you have cinema, shopping, WholeFoods/TraderJoe's & other grocery stores nearby! Not to mention the beach! Lots of fun things happening; movie nights and concerts on the beach. Yoga, bicycling and a fantastic promenade both towards North and South! The lovely Riviera Village is just mins away. Parking was never a problem. The three cottages on property are all absolutely beautiful and so charming! And they have quite a story to tell, I love the history behind these cottages; you can read all about it in the information booklet when you arrive. I'd stay in either one. They are all as nice! I have booked Cottage 2 for my friends arriving from Oslo today (July '15), and I can't wait for them to experience the great vibe & tranquillity of Burnham Beach Cottages! I am so glad I found this gem! My best recommendations.
