They have a checkin area where you can unload all your stuff as well before moving your car to the parking lot. The cottages have a microwave & a refrigerator with a sink. You can't use the stove/oven, just FYI. I did a 1 nighter in a shared cottage in November. It was cooler weather and we were in the white house upstairs. We had the loft and another party had the side room. We have no issues sharing the common space and it was fun to experience. This April, I scored a 2 night in cottage 4B on the only rainy/gloomy weekend we've had here. Of all the luck. Within 6days of reservation date, you lose 1 night stay so it was sunk cost so I went ahead and did both nights. Easy to check in and checkout. If you are down the hill, you can get a ride on the golf carts which are very nice. 2 cars overnight as well per cabin. Rooms were clean. There is no AC so be prepared depending on your weather. I wanted to leave windows open but most don't have a screen so you get bugs and I was afraid of critters coming in. (Saw it on a youtube from someone. ) Each cottage is different but great to get away. Beautiful location! SYOY!

Ok. I grew up in Orange County and only found out about place this a couple of months ago…read more The history of the cottages is way too long to go into here, but it is very interesting. Currently there are full cottages (like an Airbnb), dorms (private rooms with shared living space),and three ADA cottages. The prices range from $53 -$338 per space, per night, all year. Reservations for the cottages open up 6 months in advance at 8am, and the dorms open up 1 month in advance at 8am. The max time length is 7 days, per reservation. They are located right on the beach in Crystal cove, with full kitchens, bedding, towels, and toilet paper. The views are GORGEOUS!!! Lots of windows, and there is nothing like falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing. We stayed in 29B which is the loft inside building 29 (4 twin beds and private bath downstairs) so cute, so comfortable, and just a lovely stay! The Beachcomber restaurant is located right on the beach as well, serving breakfast lunch and dinner. SUPER packed in summer, not such much in winter. There is a snack bar area, a couple historical building, and a souvenir shop adjacent to the restaurant. The Shake Shack is up at the top of the cliff, up a huge flight of stairs, on PCH. There is also a private meeting room located next to the reg office if you wanted to host a meeting overlooking the ocean. PLEASE NOTE FOR PARKING: the reg office is located past the ranger station, and you have to drive up there to get your keys and unload your car. Then you are given a parking permit, and have to drive your car across the street (PCH) and walk back to the cottage area, about a 10 min walk with minor hills. For the ADA cottages, you can park very close to the cottage. PRO-TIP: bring your own coffee cups, plates, silverware. Very limited in the cabin

Loved our stay here! Vintage charm inside and out. Lovely…read moreflora and well-kept grounds with a wishing well in the center of the four cottages. 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!

I booked a week ago and within the hour of booking with a hotel booking app I had to cancel. The…read morebooking company said my reservation was canceled with no charge. This hotel, Arabella, ran my credit card and added a $50 transaction fee immediately. This booking app that I have used for over 10 years, usually doesn't use my credit purchase until a couple of days before my booking date or at the hotel itself when already there. My credit card company has a dispute report. Hotel, Arabella, removed the cost of hotel but still has that $50 transaction fee on my credit card. That is still being disputed. No other hotel I have booked in 10 years, has had the procedure to charge me immediately after booking.

We were told the day before! We had to be displaced last minute with a baby. Neil told me that this is a very common and usual practice with his company-to displace people as they feel like it without regards to anything! ps: I found one of Neil's cottages on airbnb and he asked me to meet with him; when I did, he asked for cash upfront-all of it. Once I paid, he disappeared-wouldn't answer any of my calls regarding huge leak in the bathroom, cable, etc. He only got a hold of me to ask me to vacate. He was rude, unprofessional, and unethical. I have reported him to airbnb.

(1 of 3 cottages on the property) We got the same service from Neil the property manager and we were not disappointed in any way. Neils availability to help with check in instructions and any other questions we had during the stay was so helpful and unlike any other rental property I've stayed at. I give this cottage 5 stars because of the amenities provided as well as cleanliness of the cottage when we arrived which is always a concern. There were plenty of extras like games, a new flat screen tv, linens, and kitchen utensils. I would definitely recommend these properties to families or anyone who wants to be in a great area with access to the beach and city. We will be coming back!
