    Fireplace, Deluxe Studio Room 11
    Daniel M.

    2 night stay in Deluxe Studio Room 11, March 2022. Very comfortable bed. Nice decor. Jacuzzi tub is deep, powerful with plenty of hot water. Fireplace kept room warm. Fresh scones were delivered to our door. Excellent nearby restaurant- a part of the hotel group - called Pickled Fish, in the nearby Adrfit Hotel. A couple of dings: 1) There is a slight difference in height between the room and the bathroom, but it's enough of one that we kept tripping in the bathroom doorway. 2) No coffee maker, but an electric tea kettle and French press instead. Did not like messing with that when I'm desperately in need of coffee first thing. If it matters to you, I suggest bringing a small coffee maker and that the Boardwalk Cottages consider replacing French press with a regular coffee maker. Otherwise, a comfortable experience and we'd stay again.

    Nice patio

    We had a lovely time this past Sunday-Tuesday at the Boardwalk Cottages. We stayed in #3 and it was perfect for 2 people. So clean with great in room amenities. They even deliver a pastry basket in the mornings with goodies from the local bakery. The front desk person (I wish I had noted their name) was sooo nice and informative. The nice thing is that they are apart of the Adrift hotel so you can use the amenities at the Adrift as well(we spent a few hours in the heated pool). The cottages are perfectly located just a street off the main road a only a few minutes walking to all the downtown restaurants and the beach. We stayed here about 10 years ago and they have done some nice updates to the property.

    Our "view" from the porch.

    First of all, the name is deceiving - it is not on the boardwalk at all... about a three - four block walk to the boardwalk. Second, the cottages face each other and neighbors are right next door so there is absolutely no privacy. The rest is little stuff: No ice bucket or bowls to empty an ice cube trays into; No coat rack by the door to hang a jacket on in case you came in from the rain/cold. Our cottage was at the back so our bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining window views were walls (really nice for $200/night *sarcasm*). If you sit out on the cute little porch to eat or have cocktails, you look at a gravel parking lot and the cottage across from you. To sum it all up: What a waste of money. This place should be no more than $100/night.

    We enjoyed staying here on our first year anniversary. We stayed in starfish Cottage. Inside of the cottage was a bit outdated but comfortable. Grace who works there and checked us in was wonderful she made us feel right at home and made sure we had everything we needed. If we were to come back we would try some of the other cottages that are much more updated. We had a chance to walk through them because people had checked out. The location was fantastic! Neptune Theater was right across the street. Miniature golf, RaceTrac, horseback riding, and the main drag was only a block away. We do plan on returning next summer. We hope Grace will be there to greet us again!

    Such a lovely little plane to stay! First time here and it was exactly as described. Pat makes awesome homemade scones, rooms are clean and perfect being one block off the main road. We stayed the whole weekend, rode our bikes on the trail and picked local hotspots for dinner. Great rates and cute little place! My only side note is that the hot tub wasn't as clean as expected, but it didn't detour us!

    Excellent location, just a few blocks from the beach and downtown Long Beach restaurants and shopping. The cottages are super clean, wonderfully decorated and have all the amenities you need from dishes to silver wear as well as coffee pots and coffee. Comfy beds and fluffy white towels. Bill and Pat the owners are fantastic and bake delicious scones or muffins every morning. The landscaping is beautiful too and each cottage has a great porch with chairs and a table for our door relaxing. I highly recommend staying here!

    Cottage interior, cozy and complete

    Quaint, clean, updated, cozy cottages tucked neatly away, but within convenient walking distance of all the action. Cable, dvd, gas fireplace, full kitchen, dining area, separate bedrooms, comfortable seating area, 3/4 bath (shower only). Overall, comfortably hosts 4, with a pull-out couch expanding to a tight 6. Every morning, the office provides delicious fresh-baked homemade scones. Our only complaint was a certain difficulty in redeeming our reservation. We had purchased the stay through a local school auction and made and confirmed our reservation a year prior, but upon arrival had to reconfirm fresh. We'd return --great location, good memories.

    Solid accommodations, cafe has good coffee, and the hotel shop has some nicely scented candles.

It's a one floor motel so no worries about accessibility. Our room was refurbished and the decor was modern and cool. They had these felt panels on the walls that made it look modern in a good way and the room was huge and spacious. The windows opened so we could get fresh air and they have smart TVs. The room was extremely clean. In the lobby they serve breakfast which is basically a hard boiled egg, Svenhards type pastry, yogurt, cereal, and coffee, so temper your expectations. What's nice is that at night, when the staff is away, the lobby offers hot drinks like coffee, tea, and they even had microwave popcorn. How cool is that? They have a saloon attached, but we came on a cool weekday so they closed up shop and wasn't serving food or drinks so that was a let down. Mind you, this hotel is not on the beach, but it's a short walk away. It's not fancy, but it's centrally located and I'm happy to stay here again.

You're close to the ocean, surrounded by trees, and there's this constant sense of spaciousness that lets your mind open up. It creates the perfect conditions for artists to think, feel, and make work. What makes Arts Week truly special, though, is the people. The group of artists is diverse, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. You're in conversation all day long, whether that's over shared meals, spontaneous collaborations, or late night talks that somehow become the most meaningful part of the experience. It's rare to find a space where people show up this open and this willing to connect. The programming strikes a great balance. There's structure when you want it, like readings, performances, and workshops, but also plenty of unstructured time to follow your own creative instincts. There's also a real sense of care built into the week. The staff and organizers are thoughtful and attentive, and you can feel that they want everyone there to succeed!

The first floor of the historic lodge is very inviting. Listening to vinyl records in the homey living room was relaxing. They offer a good selection of creative snacks, grocery, and nick nacks. Two of the rooms were very spacious, we enjoyed use of the retro kitchen and eating on the balcony. Go enjoy a movie from an ample VHS selection. The door of some trailers were finicky to operate. Other than that the bed sagged a bit and more hooks would have been nice. The proximity to what Long Beach has to offer - including The Depot next door - is a huge plus. This was a great spot for our large wedding party. Props to being dog kind and employing a friendly and accommodating staff.

The property feels like a retreat with a lovely atmosphere that feels a world apart from Long Beach despite being so close in proximity to town.

We have new appliances, new countertop and backsplash, new floors, a larger couch, a huge king bed, a walk-in shower with a new vanity, and everything is just stunning. Very well done! From the bottom units, you have a small deck with a bench, and upper units have a balcony. All rooms overlook the dunes, and the higher ones can catch you a glimpse of the ocean.

You'll have a gas fireplace, a lounge chair, a couch that folds out into a bed with a nice, squishy mattress, and a two person dining table. The staff here have been here a long time, and it's always nice to see a familiar face when we arrive. Shout out to Kevin! Always friendly and helpful. It's about a five minute drive to downtown Long Beach, where you'll find a bakery, an arcade, and lots of shops and restaurants. Don't forget you can even drive on the beach! You'll love it here.
