We had an amazing few days in the cottage, exploring the area, watching the surfers and playing on the beach with our almost-3-yr-old. The house is beautifully kept, simply decorated and very comfortable. Sarah's communication was great, and we're already thinking about when we can go back to the cottage for another weekend!

The nearest deli (Olive tree? I think) is a block away and had everything we needed. About five-ten minutes walk to the beach — depending on how long your legs are :). We decided not to bother renting a car and it was a quick and easy trip from the airport, and then we rented bikes from a place on Newport St, knowing we could just put the bikes in the yard and know they were safe was great. One of the best airbnb experiences we've had. It's a lovely little place.
