Fodor's Expert Review Boardwalk Cottages

Set along Long Beach's colorful main drag, this collection of comfortable and attractively furnished cottages includes a range of accommodation options, from cozy studios to two-bedroom units with kitchens that are perfect for families. All units have private decks, refrigerators, electric kettles, and French press coffee makers, and local pastries are delivered to each cottage in the morning, a hospitable touch though not a full breakfast. Beyond a cute barrel sauna, common spaces are limited, but guests are welcome to use the pool, spa, beach bikes, and other amenities at the sister property, the Adrift Hotel, which is just a few minutes away on foot—as is the beach.
