We loved The Beach Cottage - truly the perfect spot for exploring Hermosa Beach and environs! The cottage is charming and cozy, with everything you need to relax: comfy bed, sofa, cute kitchen, lovely back porch and yard with a table for coffee and a view of the sea just a couple of blocks down the hill. Andrew and Bryce were warm and welcoming hosts. Communication was effortless and they made us feel right at home, and we appreciated the bottle of wine and chocolates, and thoughtful guide to the neighborhood! Although we weren’t here on a real vacation, we did have a chance to wander down to the beach several times in the mornings and evenings, explore the many many local restaurants and shops (everything one might need is available within walking distance), and start the day watching local surfing with tasty coffee from Scapegoat -- a new coffee shop next to the Hermosa Beach pier. We hope to return, next time on a real vacation that will allow us to spend even more time lounging on the beach! When we do, we’d love to stay at The Beach Cottage. Thanks Andrew and Bryce! Very highly recommended!
