Beach Cottage Steps to Sand | Family Friendly #20
Wake up to the sound of waves. Fall asleep to the sun setting over the Pacific. Steps to the sand and sea! Right in the heart of the action on The Strand while being set back from the hustle & bustle in your private oasis. Walk to the pier, harbor, downtown, restaurants, shops, etc. No service/support animals as the owner has severe allergies. PLEASE NOTE neighboring cottage is under construction. I’ve dropped weekday prices down because of noise.
