    Just warning, I visited in the spring, but if you go when it gets warmer, there is NO AC. So just be warned. However, this wasn’t an issue during my visit.

    Everything at the beach cottages was so perfect, and you really can’t beat the location. The only issue I had was loud neighboring guests one night, but the staff was extremely accommodating and checked in to mitigate the issue. Not on them, but was hard to sleep that night.

    Can't think of a thing we didn't like...

    Location was right across the boardwalk from the sand. Could not be any closer to the beach. Tons of restautants closeby, as well as bike and surfboard rentals. Our place was a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom unit with a kitchen and terrace...perfect. Staff was great and kept us updated about everytging via text. We understand why this casual beach spot is so popular.

    However, it's worth noting that there was a slight misunderstanding regarding the room amenities. I was under the impression that my room would include a stove, which it did not. While this was a minor disappointment, it’s a reminder to confirm specific room features before arrival.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Beach Cottages, a hotel that truly stands out not only for its prime beachfront location but also for its thoughtful guest services and convenient amenities. Situated right on the beach, it offered easy access to the ocean and made for a perfect getaway for anyone looking to enjoy some time by the sea. The hotel is priced reasonably, striking a good balance between cost and quality, which is a notable advantage for a property in such a sought-after location. One of the services I particularly appreciated was the laundry service, adding a layer of convenience to my stay, especially for longer vacations or those in need of a quick refresh of their wardrobe. A notable perk of staying at The Beach Cottages was the proximity to a variety of dining options. With numerous eateries within walking distance, I was never short of choices for meals, ranging from casual to fine dining. This diversity in dining options added an extra layer of enjoyment to my stay, allowing me to explore different cuisines without the need for transportation. Another aspect that stood out was their communication. The hotel uses text messages not only for reminders but also to check in on guests periodically throughout their stay. This level of engagement was something I particularly appreciated, as it made me feel well taken care of and provided a personal touch that is often missing in larger establishments.

    The bed was too firm and the pillows were too thick.

    Location is right on the beach, beautiful view, super accessible to many restaurants cafes and bars nearby. Room was also pretty big and even had a kitchenette with a second sink.
