The Cottage in Bird Rock is in a perfect spot. The neighborhood is great and quiet. The location is central to all the main beach spots. Everything about the Cottage is a nice touch. The beach theme, the pool in the back if you want to hang and not head to the beach. The Bikes are great for getting around if you like the open air. The mornings are beautiful the evenings are great. Lastly and most importantly, Karen is a a great fun and friendly host! She is easy to get a hold of and a great communicator. The wine was a nice touch for our anniversary. Definitely a place I would stay again.
