Joanne’s cottage was just what we needed for a relaxing weekend out of the city! We immediately felt welcomed when we arrived. There was a bottle of wine, delicious pastries from Arcangeli’s and chocolates on our pillows. We had all the privacy we needed and at night, all we could hear were the frogs and crickets in the pond. The property itself is about 4 miles off the main road, surrounded by farm land and rolling hills. It’s secluded, but only a 5min drive away from the beach, 40min to Santa Cruz and a 20min drive to Half Moon Bay for a fine dining experience and shopping. It was the perfect location for a quick getaway and Joanne (and her furry friends) were gracious hosts! We would definitely visit again.
