Why is this cottage rated so highly? Great location, plenty of space for two, nostalgic with some modern touches, very private, cozy comfortable and Rick, our super Superhost, answered questions instantaneously. My wife said it felt like being home away from home. I enjoyed the many nice touches like the outdoor water fountain turning on in the morning and early evening and the lovely bamboo off the bedroom. If it gets a little too warm, just open the front and rear door and enjoy the cool California breeze.
