I spent a wonderful weekend in this lovely cottage for some relaxing time by myself before attending a family event. This is a perfect little cottage to use as a laid back, comfortable base from which to explore the local area. Bird Rock is a relatively low key, very walkable, residential neighborhood with some good eateries (plenty of recommendations in the welcome folder) close by. I had a delicious grilled Bluefin tuna sandwich from Wheat and Water which I took down to the waterfront and ate while watching the sunset over the ocean.
It’s worth being aware that the homes are all fairly close together, as is normal for this area, therefore you are likely to hear the usual sounds of families out in their yards, so my afternoon nap plans one afternoon were scuppered when a nearby child was crying, then given a shrill whistle as a distraction, which set off a barking dog. However at night it is so amazingly quiet. I am a light sleeper and loved having all the windows open without any noise disturbance.
Lesley and Rick, who are efficient communicators, have put a great deal of thought into keeping things uncluttered but still providing every amenity. I especially appreciated the electric kettle and the milk in the refrigerator, neither commonly provided but a great plus to a tea drinker like myself. The bed was very comfortable, shower great, and the private sun trap patio a perfect place to sit and read a book. I highly recommend this property and hope to return soon.
