Very easy, ahead of time check in. Staff was very communicative. The cottage was very cute and comfortable. Very cozy. My dog had a welcome package which made me very happy. Location was great for us. There is a small beach near by. Everything was very close. Would definitely stay again!
This is the Cypress Cottage. It has an enclosed area for our dog to go out quickly.
It’s so cute and cozy. Enough for two plus a small to medium sized dog. It has a kitchenette to cook a bit.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in the Point Cabrillo room. It had a great view of the Pacific across California 1. The view could be admird through the sliding glass door or from the small porch. The two double beds were adequate and the room was sufficiently roomy and very comfortable. The property is a bit worn, but is clean and functional. Onsite staff was very helpful. The location is quiet. The walls are a bit thin and we could tell our neighbors were talking, but it was not bad. The Wi-Fi could be improved. The signal strength is adequate toward the front of the room, but very weak towards the back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Upon entering the cottage, it was stuffy and stinky. Bed was comfortable. The room and bathroom were dirty. Spider webs and dead bugs in windows. Bathroom had mold. We couldn’t sit outside because it hadn’t been swept. We won’t go back or recommend to others.
