Beachcombers Hideaway, Dog Friendly, Enclosed Patio, 1 Block to Beach

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (120)
"The location makes this place worth it, no question. It's just up the hill from Windansea Beach, so you can dart down to stroll, scramble over the rocks, set out your towel or watch pelicans. It is small (*really* small on rainy days!) and the kitchen fixings are very basic. The neighborhood has largely kept its charm, but there is lots of new construction (which, alas, could be loud.) Really glad we chose this overall."
