The location is perfect as both the Bayside and ocean are within walking distance, no more than 5-15 minutes for both. Parking wasn't too bad, we only didn't have one night in which we couldn't get directly in front of the cottage. It does get warm at the hottest part of the day but cools down and gets comfortable with the fans going. Hosts let us check in early. Was comfortable for myself, husband, 1 year old and 2 dogs.
