Ever dreamed of staying right on the beach in a historic seaside cottage? 🌊. Comment “Beach” and I’ll send you my tips for booking one of these hidden gems 🏠 at Crystal Cove State Park!

This is our favorite SoCal staycation — just 20 minutes from home, yet it feels like another world. The moment we hit the sand, our stress melts away and time slows down.

These Crystal Cove cottages are part of the park’s Historic District, where 1930s–40s beach cottages have been lovingly restored to their original charm. They’re open to the public and can be reserved (just like campsites!) through Reserve California up to six months in advance.

This time we stayed in Cottage #8 — one of the recently renovated ones on North Beach. Each cottage tells its own story, with unique layouts and décor that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

🎥 Check out my next reel for a full tour of this nostalgic seaside cottage! You can also search 🔍 #WongsCrystalCove to see some of the other cottages we’ve stayed at over the years!

Pro tip: Don’t miss dining at The Beachcomber Café — it’s a must-do when we visit the Historic district. There’s usually a wait, but you can put your name down, then go play on the beach until your table’s ready! They also rent fire pits for cozy sunset hangs, perfect for grilling or roasting s’mores by the ocean. 🔥
