Pros

Direct private access to Sunny Cove Beach for swimming and surfing

Family-friendly accommodations with multiple bedroom configurations

Each unit includes either a full kitchen or kitchenette

Pet-friendly rooms available for travelers with dogs

Cons

Limited parking with only one space per room

37 miles distance from Mineta San Jose International Airport

“This inn appeals with its individual cottages, each delivering its own charm near Sunny Cove Beach. I think the pet-friendly policy is a real advantage for those traveling with dogs, and the proximity to the beach makes it easy to enjoy the surf. Plus, with kitchens in many of the cottages, longer stays become that much more convenient.”
