Pros:

A fantastic location right on the beach. I sat on the veranda at 5:30AM and had a fantastic experience as the sea revealed itself in all its glory as the dawn broke.
The staff is excellent and courteous. Since we were checking late into the evening, host was gracious enough to call us and let us know that the restaurant next door closes by 8:30 and have dinner and come if our check-in is going to be beyond 8:30PM. So many folks including the owner were waiting when we arrived at the hotel around 8:15 so that the check-in goes smoothly and we can have the dinner next door.
After we booked through booking.com with free cancellation, the host called us and asked for some amount as a deposit. When we said our plans are not yet finalized based on train ticket availability, he said it is OK and he will hold the reservation and can pay after the trip is finalized. When I called back to pay after the trip is finalized - couple of days before our planned stay, he said there is no need to pay since we called and confirmed. We were so pleasantly surprised.
The cottage including the toilet is big, clean and very well planned to take care of most of the needs of the tourists. It even had clothes liner to hang our clothes after a beach visit.
There is a big private veranda to sit and chat and have a cup of coffee. A great place for families to stay a few days. Unfortunately we stayed only one day but plan to stay longer if we ever come back to Varkala area.

Cons:

Kerala style breakfast items like appam would have been great.
