If you want a cozy place to stay that’s also super close to the beach and you can enjoy with your pets, look no further. We just returned from 5 days here with our pup, and being able to walk to the beach with our surfboards/wine/etc was great. It was a chilly week, which meant we also enjoyed the fireplace every morning and evening. Gail was a super friendly, responsive, and generous host. When our son’s surfboard broke on the second day of our trip, he was thrilled to be able to use one of the short boards in the garage; she even offered to let him use it on the day we checked out. Was a bit disappointed to read about the “lovely fields” outside the property where we could take our dog, because they were full of dried weeds and foxtails, but Gail obviously has no control over that - just don’t plan on it being the only place to take your dog. I will say the photos do make it look larger than it really is, but it was plenty of room for 3 adults and a dog…and you’ll be at the beach most of the time, anyway!
