What They are Saying

Leroy
Great place with friendly staff. Individual cottages, perfect for dog lovers. Our cottage had a fully fenced back yard so our dog had a place to run. Beautiful location and very laid-back. Perfect place to relax for a few days. We will be back.

What an inviting place! I loved getting to our cottage and having a fire going as well as a small bottle of wine with a hand written note welcoming us. Those touches are just what I needed after a long day of driving down the coast!

We loved our stay in Captains Watch! Especially when the fog cleared and we could see the breathtaking views of the land and sea. No wonder they named it such. A great room with large windows and glass doors gave it an almost treehouse feeling.
