Truly just a short walk to dog beach to let the dog play or watch the sunset, or both? Very close walking distance to lots of great food and drink. Very clean and cozy. The backyard is a bonus with great seating and beach toys. We stayed over Thanksgiving to spend time with family down here and had such a great time. Our dog Zoey loved to lay by the open screened door and watch the dogs go by - Terrier vision. We'll definately stay here again.
