I booked a dorm room for Cottage 38. It was a perfect staycation. Shared kitchen, bathroom, and patio. The room (38C) I was told is the smallest in the cottages. There's a lot to do outdoors. This was a short trip, and I did spend time walking along the beach and eating at the Beachcomber. There's also the tide pools and hiking trails. It's always colder at the beach, so if you get cold easily, I would recommend either a sleeping bag or an extra warm blanket. There is a heater in the room (old school type), and I used it sparingly. I heard there's an outdoor cat that lives on site but never got to see the cat. There's quite a few activities within driving distance - whale watching tours (Newport Landing Whale Watching), restaurants, shopping, etc.
Next time I visit, I plan to stay a little longer.
