We had a really wonderful stay at Chuck & Helen's cottage. They were communicative from the very beginning and even when our flight came in at 2 am, Chuck was right there to greet us, show us around and even offered to show us where the 24 hour restaurants were in case we were hungry. He gave us a great tour of OB that same day and even drove us up to Cabrillo Monument and toured the place with us. We had our respected privacy but we always knew Chuck would wish us well on our way out and include us in any gatherings he had. There's a cute black cat that came around occasionally and will accept a few pets. The cottage is cozy and has everything you need to really feel at home during your stay
