We loved staying at Blue Heron Cottages for the month of December. Our springer spaniel, Max, felt right at home, and made friends with all the other dogs. There were so many little touches to make the dogs feel welcome, including special sheets to put on the sofa if you wanted your dog on the couch with you. The dog beach is a one mile walk, and I went every day with my dog. He is missing the beach now that we are back in Oregon with all the snow and rain! Auston was great at answering any questions, and we walked two blocks to watch the sunset every evening - such a great location! We went into San Diego to watch the symphony rehearse at Rady Shell, went to the zoo on Christmas, and the cottage had all the utensils for us to cook Christmas dinner. The outdoor area was perfect for a group to sit and eat or just hang out. This was the perfect place for us to relax.
