Traveled from New Zealand. Fantastic location! We loved the 70’s Beach Vibe of the place and surroundings. We were on the second floor and the view of the ocean/surfers/dolphins was perfect. The Apartment was bigger than the photos suggested. Will be staying again and recommending to our friends.

The property was amazing. My room was huge, clean and had everything we needed. It is steps from the beach but also has a keyed entry so it felt very safe. They have ping pong, shuffle board and ample grills and hang out areas. Definitely staying here again.

Great location with beautiful views. I loved the balcony and view of the ocean! It took me awhile to find it, a hotel that was really on the beach. We also had the most beautiful weather I was told by the locals it was unusual for the first week of January. The sunsets were amazing.The area restaurants were lovely and many cute shops that had everything. A shout out to the Beach Cafe right in front of the hotel. I had breakfast there and it's on the beach, I was in heaven, the staff were great. I also learned of the interesting history the hotel has. I talked to people on the beach that have been going there for many years and said it was the best. One couple had tried all the area hotels and always came back to the Beach Cottages. A well designed cozy place on the beach. The staff were wonderful. I'll be back. Thank you so much!
