Staying at one of these historic cottages is like winning the lottery… but here are a few tips to actually make it happen 🏖️

1️⃣ Plan ahead: Reservations open daily, 6 months in advance on ReserveCalifornia.com. Log in before 8 AM and refresh right at 8 to catch new openings.

2️⃣ Check for cancellations: Spots often pop up 1–2 weeks out due to the 7-day cancellation policy. These re-release at 8 AM, too.

3️⃣ Try in person: Visit the Cottage #35 Check-In Office at 11 AM to ask about last-minute cancellations — locals often get lucky this way!

4️⃣ Don’t stress about a specific cottage: They’re all unique and special — we’ve stayed in dorm rooms and individual cottages, and each one’s been great.

5️⃣ Stay persistent: It can take a several tries, but fall and winter are easier times to snag a spot.

Crystal Cove’s site says it best: “If it looks booked, it probably is — hundreds of people are trying at once.” Keep at it — with some patience (and luck!), you’ll get your stay.  I’ve actually received DM from followers who’ve landed cottages using these tips, so good luck!
