Beyond the Spectacular View
Beyond the spectacular view which was hard to leave, only one comfortable chair in the cottage to sit on and the car charger, I cannot honestly recommend this cottage to more than one person and a four legged companion. I was not aware that the cottage was located 10+ miles north of the town of Gualala

Over priced
Property has a nice view and a hot tub but otherwise it is not great. Furniture looks like it was all from a yard sale and bed is uncomfortable. WiFi was good as was coffee maker and they provided lots of Keurig pods . For over $1,000 for two nights we felt it was overpriced. We would have been better served staying in a local motel.

Cozy place, perfect for 2. But 2 small bath towels for a 3 day stay was not good. Please put at least 4 bath size towels for your guests. Thank you !

Amazing little cottage getaway
My husband and I stayed at the cottage for my birthday and we had an amazing time. The view is hands down the best part. The hot tub is so relaxing and the privacy is perfect. We listened to the waves and birds as we enjoyed the deck area. We will probably bring our own pillows next time because these were quite flat, but nothing to stop me from coming back!
