Rita’s cottage is absolutely lovely and in a fantastic location. It was perfectly suited for our family of four (kids ages 3 & 5), complete with kid-friendly soaps in the bath and sand toys to bring to the beach.
Our 5 year old handled the walk down and back up the hill to and from the beach just fine, though we were glad to have borrowed a stroller for our littler one. The tide pools just north of where Marine St (where the cottage is) hits the beach captivated us for hours, loaded with sea life. The quiet and lush backyard was a great place to unwind and for the boys to get some wiggles out.
Great food literally around the corner made lunch and dinners easy, both for takeout (Taco Stand is as delicious as the hype) or to pick up fresh fish at El Pescadero for the grill (their prepared takeout was tasty too).
We hope to make it back soon and would stay here again!
