Located within blocks of the large business district. Easy to walk to those amenities and the cliff overview of the marina. The cottage is charming with and spacious. 2 bedroom, 1 large bath with nice kitchen and large living and dining space. Totally covered and private back patio was heavenly. We appriciated the off street parking off the alley.
