This has been a wonderful experience staying at Joanne’s. From the time she warmly greeted us to the farewell, it felt like we were staying with friends. The cottage is as described. Quaint with many personal touches. From the bottle of wine to the local pastries, we were delighted by our stay. Their home is located central to very beautiful and accessible coastline. There are ranches and farms nearby. The family dogs greeted our dog with friendliness and curiosity. The cottage sits on a horse ranch and is landscaped beautifully. It is very quiet there and we were able to catch up on some much needed rest. 15 minutes any direction gets you to a town with fantastic seafood and character. The cottage sits at the edge of the redwood forest. The beach cottage interior feels cozy. We highly recommend Joanne as a host. We felt fortunate to have had the opportunity to share their home.
