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!

Great location / outdated hotel

The location is great but the room and overall condition of the hotel is not. If you are on a budget it's a decent trade off, but if you want something clean and nice this is definitely is not the hotel. The location is awesome though.

Stayed there for two nights with my husband and two teen children. Front desk staff was very friendly. I appreciated the texting method to check in and communicate. The room and bathroom was much larger than expected. Room was dated. You can see the wear and tear. They had an old-school heater unit but it worked fine warming up the room. Beds were decent. Unfortunately, we saw a cockroach in the bathroom. It was our last night and late so it didn't feel worth it to do anything or change rooms. Also, they're located close a few restaurants where the patrons party until late into the night. We had the displeasure of hearing them at 1 am as well as police sirens several times late into the night. It wasn't something the hotel could control but something to think about with the location.
