I had a wonderful stay here! I stayed in the Abalone room and it felt like a cozy cottage, complete with its own kitchenette. The staff was very helpful, even helping to adjust the AC for me when I couldn't figure out the remote. The hotel is also walking distance to two beaches and you can see the ocean just down the street. There were also past reviews that mentioned old locks, but the lock has been updated to be a card reader.

Absolutely charming little cottage just a short walk up from the beach. The beach itself is great, though busy. Lots of places you can walk to, including a local beer garden, and Starbucks is less than a block away for morning coffee. Extremely clean, though the property is a little older. Very quaint. Parking is limited, but it wasn't a probelm during my stay. Would return.

I loved having the kitchen. We were able to make dinner and eat on the deck. The bbq grill was terrific. Ocean Echo is aptly named, as we heard the waves all night. Loved it.

I had a lovely 2 nights for a short getaway from regular life. The cottages were as described & perfect for me. Very clean property and helpful staff. Bonus grab & go breakfast! I very much enjoyed the quiet beach at the end of the path from the hotel. Hidden gem!

Location is amazing and if you’re a dog family this is a great option. Be prepared for noisy neighbors and lukewarm showers. I’m not sure if it was only our cottage, but we had bright lights outside our windows throughout the night. I’m sure it’s for safety but not very pleasant. My husband and I felt like it was similar to summer camp environment.

The room was clean enough and adequate. Staff tried their best given the staffing shortage they advised us about. Our unit didn't have a smoke detector, one kitchen cabinet door wouldn't close and the toilet seat was not the right fit/shape - oval seat place on a round toilet bowl. There was a veryy partial ocean view from one of the windows. Parking was tricky. Pet friendly though and comfortable bed.
