My boyfriend and I stayed here for five days and really enjoyed it. It was super convenient to beaches and just the right size for two people on a week-long stay. We also found it easy to get around because it's not far off the main roads/freeway.

The cottage itself is pretty spacious with a cozy bed and futon so even though it's one room, you get a feel of some privacy/your own space. It's clean and well kept. Doug and Kathy really put effort into making you feel welcome so there was a nice gift basket of snacks waiting for us and clean towels, extra toilet paper, travel soap, etc. The cottage is stocked with dishes/silverware, glasses, fridge and, although we never used, a microwave and hot plate.

The back yard area is lovely with beautiful cacti and succulents. A lot of folks have made mention of the dogs so good to note that the dogs are on property. I didn't have any issues with the dogs being around and thought they were a sweet couple of pups! To be truthful, I think we saw them once, maybe twice the whole time we were there. And, yes, dogs do their business outdoors and maybe this will bother you but I honestly didn't notice.

Would definitely recommend this for couples/groups of 2 or 3. We found it pretty affordable--definitely comparable to other airbnb places and hotels in the area and less sterile/touristy than a hotel.
