Pacific Gardens Inn
Pacific Gardens InnStaff was very accommodating, rooms were clean, and it is dog friendly.
Cozy family room with everything needed; staff helped light the fireplace.
Quiet, beach-cottage feel and walking distance to the beach.
Breakfast options are very limited.
Real fireplace that you can add wood to throughout the night. Clean and quiet.
