Catherine's Cottage is delightful and we look forward to returning!
It has been recently renovated so while the outside has that vintage Victorian charm in line with the main house which is a historic residence, the inside has all modern amenities. I was particularly pleased with the conveniently placed USB ports in the outlets while my husband was a fan of the coffee machine. lol.
I appreciated the ease of our own code for entry into the home, as well as clean and fresh items laid out and easily accessible to us such as towels and extra blankets. We didn't have to hunt for anything. And those easily forgotten but needed items when you travel like q-tips and sewing kits were easily found as well.
The decor has a beachy and welcoming vibe, perfect for Long Beach. We really appreciated that most surfaces were left totally clear so that we had plenty of room to set things down and spread out our own stuff. We also appreciated that healthy options for the continental breakfast, like oatmeal and fresh fruit, were included.
There's plenty of space outside for the children to run around and a great play structure that my children thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, we felt very comfortable in our own space but loved and appreciated that Catherine and her charming family were available when we needed their advice or help.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
