Came with 6 person family and got the one room double bed plus couch. Big room with everything we needed including kitchenette. Location on the beach. Friendly staff. We'll be back.
Great place and decent price. Only paid 120 per room per night and it had everything except room service. Right on the beach as well, walk out the back door and you are on the sand!
10/10 for the beach cottages. You really cannot find anything better than this for the location and price! We stayed in the off season (November) but the weather was absolutely amazing, we were still able to spend our days at the beach and not having AC in the room was no problem at all. We stayed on the third floor and the ocean breeze really kept the entire space cool. We took advantage of the apartment and used their full kitchen daily, there is a Ralph’s grocery within walking distance so stocking up the kitchen was easy. There’s so much around from restaurants, shops and coffee spots that we didn’t need to move our car at all, Belmont park being a 10 minute drive or 30 minute walk was great too! The parking lot is very secure with on site security 24/7, on-site washer and dryers were very convenient since my kids went through a lot of clothing during our stay. There was some slight noise at night from The fire station one street over, and other people not at the hotel just walking the sidewalks and alleyway, we stayed on a Sunday-Wednesday so overall the noise from surrounding bars/ restaurants wasn’t all that bad. I imagine during peak times and weekends that would be different. Bring a white noise machine for your room and that helps and there could be more attention to detail when deep cleaning (fans, headboards, baseboards and a bigger trash can for kitchen would be good!) but overall the rooms were very clean, the kitchen was spotless, the linens were soft and the beds were comfortable! We are already planning our return trip next year. :)
The Beach Cottages is perfect if you want to be “on the beach”, enjoy a laid-back, homey atmosphere, and don’t mind some tradeoffs. For folks who require absolute silence or modern luxury, this might not check all boxes. But for its price and location, it delivers a lot of value. I’d stay again maybe not on a weekend if sleep is a priority, but absolutely again on a weekday for a relaxing beach getaway.
Wonderful location, quaint but functional design. While at a family gathering at The Beach Cottages, I found myself right at home. The interiors and exteriors appeared dated but the place felt functional. The direct access to the boardwalk makes it a valuable and perfect summer getaway destination. The family I visited has been doing this for well over ten years now.
