AROUND TOWN
PENINSULA WINE MERCHANTS: This is a great shop owned by really down-to-earth and knowledgeable wine folks – Sallieanne and John Howell. In a very short period of time, they have put together a great place with lots of imaginative and inexpensive ideas for summertime fun at the beach – like their bright red Beach Wine Backpacks for $9.65, including tax. We have some at the Enchanted Cottages office if you want to pick one up. They are open 11-7 Tuesday through Sunday and have wine tastings each weekend between 12 and 5. And, best of all, if you stay at the Enchanted Cottages, you’ll receive a discount coupon for one free wine tasting as well as 10% off any purchase over $25. We hope you’ll find time to stop by to say hello to these nice people. They are located in the little pink building on the main street of downtown Long Beach.
I have enjoyed both the Hollyhock Cottage and the Captain’s Quarters in spring of 2007. It was a truly delightful stay. The additional information about the Peninsula Wine Merchants shop and the gas rebate are tempting me to return for another stay in the near future. Thanks for the update!
All Enchanted Blog Responders will receive a special gift on their next stay with us! Thanks for your interest.
My husband and I have twice stayed in the Hollyhock Cottage. We experienced a sense of peace and tranquility that truly refreshes the spirit and the soul; perhaps the feeling comes from sleeping in the most comfortable bed and the sound of the ocean waves that lures one into a deep and full sleep! We love the area and can’t wait to return. Great website!
