We spent a long weekend at Michael’s cottage with our dog. It was a great location and easy walk to the main strip of restaurants on Newport St, Ocean Beach/pier, and of course, Dog Beach! There are tons of biking and running trails nearby. We were escaping the heat and smoke in NoCA and were a little concerned that we’d be hot without a/c, but by opening the doors to the front and back decks, we got a lovely ocean breeze through the house. I had issues getting my work computer to connect to the internet (which was 100% my computer’s fault, not Michael’s internet), and Michael was kind enough to bring over a hotspot. We had a great stay and would totally recommend for two people.
