We had a lovely weekend in the Cottage. The history, views of the water from every window, seeing sea lions playing, antique furniture, and full amenities made for a very special unique stay. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole cottage was very clean and comfortable.

It is a very special location! I LOVE the experience in the Fall when the weather shifts. Our first afternoon was stunningly gorgeous with sun and our second afternoon was spooky with cliuds and wind. I loved the iron tub in the bathroom, hairdryer was good quality too. We used the oven and it was quick cook --- it's new and easy to use. The only head's up: the tv is hilariously small, but you arent headed to the cottage to watch tv. Bring a kite, grab a romantic dinner at Ginos at the Point, and watch seals and sea lions in the bay. Ali the host / manager is extremely helpful and responsive.

A very nice location and the views were stunning. The house does however sit in the middle of a public park and we had to watch carefully as people would try to walk right into the house thinking it was open to the public.

Wonderful place to call home for a week! Perfect for lots of writing, beautiful sunsets, whales, porpoises, seals/sea lions, starfish, watching fishermen and boats/ships. Fabulous experience with so many lovely memories. Comfortable beds. Loved the tours of cottage and boat house.
