We stayed in the Yellow cottage and it was just perfect for three of us. The king size bed was very comfy and even the pullout couch was surprisingly decent and comfortable. The linens and towels were upscale. Very fresh and clean. Kitchen had beyond the few basics including dishes, flatware, full size fridge with freezer, and a nice coffee maker to make fresh coffee. The location was ideal because it was so quiet-no noise from PCH. Very close to town, just a few minutes' drive. Very good communication and tips on staying at the cottages. Sean was extremely helpful and very prompt with replies. Some of the one star reviews are quite outdated. Years ago. Both the living room and bedroom of our yellow cottage had wonderfully quiet ceiling fans and there was air-conditioning. We stayed in a particularly warm November of 2025 and kept the windows slightly a jar all day and even in the evening - it was ideal. FYI: The front entrance has quite a few stairs. Steep stairs. There's a back entrance accessed via the high school parking lot that made it easier to load and unload, but still a bit of a challenge for us seniors with rolling suitcases (and a recent hip replacement ;)). Still, we managed and would definitely stay here again!

After some business in Big Bear Lake, I figured on staying in Southern California for a couple of days. Only about 1,5 hours from Big Bear Lake so let's do it. It can be difficult finding an ocean front condo and for a reasonable price, but this place fit us perfectly and the price, although mid range, $500 per night was well worth it. Starting with Check in, it was seamless. Ryan, at the front desk made it so simple. Our unit, one bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, kitchen living room and a terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Can't ask for much more. Anything you need or want is literally within walking distance. Restaurants galore and many oceanfront. A supermarket about 50 yards from here. This is Southern California, so as the song goes " It Never Rains in California ". Yes I know there's more to this song, but I'm leaving it at that because the weather was absolutely perfect. From our terrace we could watch surfers all day and into the evening. The sunset was like an artist painting. Almost brings tears to your eyes. Just a couple of small issues. First, there are Ductless AC units in the condo but they weren't working. It's very warm, in the 90's, and no AC could be a problem. Ryan, at check in was upfront about this and told us there was a portable AC unit in our condo, which worked fine.disaster averted. Parking is very tight, but as I said before, anything you need is within walking distance, so once I parked my car, I never got in it again until we were leaving. Finally, yes it is ocean front, but there was a beach house in front of us so our view was slightly hindered but not enough to make a difference. If I'm back in this area, or anywhere nearby, I would definitely stay here, and they have a number of units so I'll let you know next time we're here and you can join us. You can be our guests.

The location is good but the unit is just "adequate". Photos are deceiving in that the unit (Roma)…read moreis pretty worn; not nearly as nice as the photos demonstrate. Security of the complex and parking area is minimal. Anyone from the alley can easily access the parking lot and all units in this complex (not a good thing in California). At least a week prior to our arrival, someone in the unit had broken a bottle of horridly pungent woman's perfume in the master bedroom. The entire unit reeked, particularly the bedroom, making that room virtually unusable. All windows in the unit had to be kept open 24/7 to make the unit somewhat livable. The odor was absorbed into our clothing and luggage. The cleaning staff, who are there only a couple hours per day at unpredictable times, informed us they had cleaned the smell to the best of their ability and there was nothing more they could do. Due to our inconvenience, we asked for either another unit and/or some other compensation. We were given neither, except the offer to move to a completely different complex for the last night of our five night stay. The management's lack of concern and fairness illustrates very poor business practice and ensures we will never rent from this group (Everyday Luxury) again.

Disappointing for the price point.

What is provided? A sad collection of cheap, warped plastic utensils. To top it off, the sink is partially blocked, there is some black mold on the ceiling, and there's peeling paint on the walls. The remote for the sound system doesn't work, and the rugs are filthy. The hose on the deck by the beach to clean off your feat has 2 inches of sand on it so you come out with dirtier feet than when you walked in. It's shocking to encounter this level of neglect at this premium price point. The saving graces are the truly spectacular view of the beach, and easy beach access during low tide. Beds are comfortable enough. Overall, certainly underwhelming for the price point, but despite not meeting our expectations we enjoyed our stay. With just a little more effort this place could really shine.

This hotel, Arabella, ran my credit card and added a $50 transaction fee immediately.

From the coastal decor and thoughtful accents to the amenities, everything felt fresh, stylish, and well thought out. If you're planning a longer stay, the suite is perfect. Ours included a fully stocked kitchen and a separate bedroom with living space overlooking the ocean, making it feel more like a beach apartment than a hotel room. A special thank you to Tasha, the front desk manager, who was incredibly warm and welcoming and truly set the tone for our stay. She recommended The Lighthouse, just steps from the hotel overlooking the harbor, and it ended up being a great spot with good food and beautiful views. We travel often and have stayed at many of the surrounding hotels in the area, and Bay Shores Peninsula has done a fantastic job with its renovations. The location is excellent, the property is spotless, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
