Pros, the cottage was great! The beach was right out the door which was wonderful. No walking for blocks or trying to find parking. Having beachchairs and a umbrella was wonderful. We used them everyday. We also enjoyed the front patio. A lot of people watching going on there. The cottage was clean, which is number one for me, and comfortable. The air conditioning and fans worked great. Nice towels in the bathroom and and good shower. The kitchen had everything we needed except a measuring cup. It was obvious that Marina is a organized person, which I am too. We also liked that you could walk to many restaurants.The negatives are that the area is a little sketchy. A definite old hippy vibe. A bit rundown. Also a lot of homeless people wandering around and sleeping on the beach. We had a really great time and enjoyed the cottage. We had to leave a day early because of our senior dog at home wasn't doing to well and Marina was kind enough to give us a refund for that night. Thanks again for that.
