Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of space for your food items and a large sink with garbage disposal aids in making clean-up a cinch. There is a mudroom between the kitchen and back deck for hanging coats and removing shoes. Relax on the front porch, back deck, garden, or patio area complete with al fresco dining. Delight in a peaceful moment in the swing chairs hanging in the shade of the 50-year-old Japanese Red Pine tree while butterflies and hummingbirds flutter about. Or barbecue on the Weber gas grille surrounded by a gorgeous fenced-in yard with fruit trees, grapevines, native cacti, succulents, and other indigenous flora. Enjoy the convenience of the outdoor laundry area. The property is just blocks from several beaches including a local "secret" spot.

The comfort, close proximity to shopping, restaurants and especially the beach, (which were all walking distances), the value and the historic significance all contributed to the awesome stay.Reserving was fast and straightforward, check-in was simple, entering the premises was a breeze and our host went all out with his communication and care for our comfort.We have bookmarked this bungalow for future visits! ##### Jeff B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy S. 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ocean Beach Historic Cottage The cottage was very cute and the description is accurate. It is old and vintage. Very convenient to the town, shopping, restaurants and beach. We walked everywhere.The best thing was Brenden, our host. He was fantastic. Check in was a breeze, he brought us fresh apples picked from the many fruit trees on the property. Any question we had he was quick to answer. He couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. Definitely the host with the most.We went for a girls long weekend. The cottage is not fancy, but it was clean and comfortable and convenient and the 1948 Vintage Stove was so cool. I definitely recommend Brenden and his historic cottage. ##### Kathy S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Megan M. 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Expedia Should Not Allow Listings without Completed House Access Manuals to be rented Host forgot to give instructions to access the property. Expedia canceled /refunded my reservation the next morning when they could not reach the host either. From my tour of the property after the fact: Historical cottage charm; old energy and vibes. Coffee available. Beds/pillows comfortable, but not adequate space to open a carry-on and unpack. Living room / seating area okay; sofa needs to be larger than a loveseat. Kitchen is adorable with original gas stove and ocean view. Do not stay at this property if you enjoy pristine bathroom conditions / a showering experience--a lot to be done there. Original glass and windows are charming, but if you are HSP, have misophonia, or any kind of noise sensitivity not stay at this cottage b/c it is in airlines flight path from 600am until late-night. Property is full of beautiful vegetation, fruit trees, raised beds, birds. Ocean view from balcony off the kitchen. Cottage is walkable to beach and the main drag ##### Megan M.
