This place was so cute and cozy and perfect for the pups. We walked right out from the place to the beach. The dog beach was only a few more steps away. It was perfect. The town is full of all different people. Everyone was super friendly. Didn't feel unsafe at all. We enjoyed walking out dogs down to Newport ave where there were tons of great restaurants. I would say this place is more for couples and singles with dogs more than for families. We loved it and so did the pups. The house was clean and Kathleen was so welcoming and sweet. We may be moving to SD now!
