This cottage was a small gem; beautifully furnished. We were 2 people, but it would easily accommodate a couple of our kids as well. The main living space was lovely - back bedroom with custom lighting and bunks was such a fun space that my dog and I chose to nap and read there. The patio + outdoor kitchen were great. There was no need to bring bedding, toiletries, cooking utensils, beach bikes - everything was there and of high quality. This location on a quiet street between the beach and bay could not be more convenient. Great restaurants abounded and the Margate beach (in mid-September) was beautiful. Also, this is very close to OC, AC, Avalon, ... The property is truly dog-friendly, and we visited nearby Malibu Dog beach every day.
Nutshell: We would come back to this wonderful Margate cottage in a heartbeat ... our highest praise for the place and property managers!
