Shell Cottage is private and pet-friendly with a securely fenced front and back yard for your kids and dog. There is gated dock access in the backyard to our canoes, kayaks, and rowboats. A nearby public, dog-friendly beach with gentle waves is a wonderful place for walking, picnicking, or building sandcastles. River otters frequent the area as do sea lions and sea birds of all types. Fishing is excellent from the jetties on either side of the beach, a short walking distance away. Shell Cottage has one bedroom with a queen-size bed and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room area. There is room for five at the dining table, with separate eating areas in both the front and back yards. There is a private Jacuzzi tub in the newly remodeled bathroom. Also provided is a gas BBQ grill and seating in the back yard by the dock and waterway. Conveniently located across the street from Johnny's Marina and RV Park where you can slip your boat overnight or have extra guests stay in the RV campground which includes full hook-ups.
