Cottage Inn offers an ideal setting for a weekend getaway with its beautiful rooms that provide a breathtaking ocean view. The atmosphere is inviting, especially with easy access to the beach for sunset views. However, my experience with the night staff left much to be desired, which put a damper on an otherwise lovely stay. Overall, the value makes it a place worth considering, but be prepared for some service hiccups.
