Loved this place! Perfect for our small rat terriers— a great little fenced in patio to sit in right outside the door, and the pups loved getting to sunbathe while we sat outside. We could walk across the street to West Cliff Drive and stroll along the path to the lighthouse or back to the wharf as we enjoyed a gorgeous view of the ocean, boardwalk, beach, and surfers. Kristina, our host, was wonderful—readily available and super friendly, All the amenities needed were provided in this cozy little cottage as well. We hope to return!!

We were a late booking and Khristina was so easy to contact and work out the last minute logistics. I really appreciated that she text us to see how our first night was and if we needed anything. We just loved this quiet, clean, and perfect little cottage for a sister(s) get away.

Oceanside Haven

Spent a week in lovely 1 bedroom with full kitchen. I enjoyed easy access to ocean, bike trails, and the delightful Shrine coffee shop. The fenced patio is a real plus if you are traveling with your dog. I met so many friendly dog folks on our walks each day. Khristina is a wonderful host and I would definitely stay there again.
