Cottage Inn By The Sea

Cottage Inn By The Sea

8/10 Good
"Great location, stairs (lots of stairs) to the beach, rooms spacious and clean. The only issue we had was parking, we had two cars and they only allow one parking pass per room. We had to find space four blocks away to leave one car. It was residential, but not the best situation to have women walking late at night to their cars."
