Good location. Cozy cottage a block from the beach. Nice bed and linens and good shower. Nearby grocery store a block away is a big plus. We were able to walk everywhere including State street and the zoo.

Quaint little cottage
This was exactly what we wanted in SB. It’s tucked behind the main house of the property. I saw a wedding group one night and got nervous about potential noise, but it was not a problem. I loved the little patio where I could read with coffee in the morning. The little kitchen was perfect for us. Good shower. Would definitely stay again!

Comfortable and well-located spot!
I stayed here as a single female traveler for a wedding that was at the Mar Monte Hotel. This was a more economical option and just a short walk away from the hotel, beach.
Pros: Very cozy bed. Good lighting inside. Well appointed kitchen. Roomy. Good shower pressure. Clean. Great location. Easy parking. Good Wifi. Felt safe.
Cons: Could be more lighting outside. Pretty pungent musty smell that I was worried was mold? Not sure. I am also sensitive to smells...
I liked being in the privacy of the cabin. I could hear the freeway and train, so would want to be there for too long. Ok for a couple of days
They said washer dryer available in the welcome book but then wouldn’t let me use it. I communicated and they only responded with a generic ai response such as “we cannot help you this is our policy” then I wanted Kate checkout after they sent an email and they said “not available. This is our policy” so I was frustrated. The place had masses of dust et the furniture and mold in kitchen cabinets. Otherwise would be a sweet place to stay again if there was more functional housekeeping and management.
The title pretty sums it up. It is a great property and we had a fun time and enjoyed our stay. Only negatives were that the bed is not very comfortable, and also the sound proofing is not very good so unless you have a fan on or something you'll be able to hear traffic and trains throughout the night.
Nice place except for beam hovering over the bed and no window in the kitchen. Very loud and rude guests in the parking area from the adjacent rooms in the property. Manager did

Cottage
Cottage is cute and cozy but needs help. Sheets and duvet are very rough material. It does not get dark at night because lights shine in. Needs darkening curtains. Cookware is old. Needs a big pot for cooking pasta. There is no privacy for bath area. Owners should install a curtain.

Good Spot for a Quick Trip, but beware of plumbing
The cottage was clean and organized when we arrived. We thought the amenities were nice and the location was great. We started to experience slow drainage from the shower, sink, and toilet, which caused and toilet clogging issue. When we reached out for help, they said their local team would assist us and no one ever contacted us. We had to wait to use the restroom at public facilities, which was a big disappointment given this place isn't exactly cheap. I feel like the level of service we were provided did not meet the expectations set by the price.

Amazing beach cottage
We stayed here for our wedding weekend, my husband and I in the cottage and the rest of our families got rooms in the Hitchcock house. The cottage was perfect, had everything we needed, clean and super comfortable! We run hot so the November weather was perfect for us and we didn't need to use the heater. You have to remember that it is a cottage and its nothing fancy but the location is perfect and we would absolutely stay there again!

Easy stay
Great location. We had a car and appreciated the dedicated parking. A short walk from the beach. Amenities as noted.
The property was in a great location, very close to the beach and a local supermarket. The apartment was comfortable with all the amenities needed. There was a lot of wear and tear in places and the kitchen had limited equipment which seemed quite dated. We enjoyed our stay here.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Cleanliness left much to be desired
The floors were dirty and the sheets were dirty, we had to have housekeeping come and mop the floor and change the bedding which made it much better. But the biggest issue was the kitchen sink and countertop. The countertop is literally peeling off around the sink and is brown and rotting inside, it is absolutely disgusting. This property should NOT be rented out until that countertop is replaced and the kitchen sink area is sanitary. That was appalling.

Charming but lacks a little
I loved the proximity to the beach, very close short walk to East Beach. We didn't know at first, but the cottage is actually behind the main building at the address provided in the listing which wasn't clear at first. I would have given a higher review, but the shower was dirty, hair was left on the walls, and the lock didn't work to get inside the last night we stayed and couldn't contact anyone to let us in after I messaged the host. Waited 45 minutes on hold with Air BnB to finally get back inside our place. A little frustrating, given that the lock wouldn't work the final day of our stay.
