At the last minute we drove up here from the bay area and we’re struggling with a place to stay. We came across the rustic cottages and are so glad we did! At first we weren’t sure about the whole cottage thing but they are clean well appointed and they think of everything. They even allowed our little dog for only 20 extra dollars. They have some rooms with no dogs allowed in case that is a concern for you. At check-in there are all kinds of free goodies including coffee mugs, chocolate chip cookies, and all your soaps and shampoos and coffee packets. The gal at check-in was very nice and even let us see one of the other view rooms (no dogs in that one) for next time.
There is a beach directly across the street that is free and parking is not a worry because you can just leave your car here. I will definitely be back again!
