Peggy was the most excellent host at the Copper Tub Cottage! My six year old and I shared the cottage for a week so we could explore the Santa Cruz area together.

We were welcomed with a nice bowl of delicious cherries (which I thought were just a decoration at first because they were so beautiful.) It was an immaculate studio cottage with all the things we could need or want: bathroom, coffee/tea maker, mini fridge, water jug, ceiling fan, incredible bath tub, comfy bed, ceiling fan, cable TV, Wi-Fi and a nice sitting area outside. I was able to get some work done remotely from the cottage, which was nice.

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, although there was the occasional morning disturbance from a nearby persistent rooster. If you're a fitful sleeper, you might want ear plugs. My daughter never heard it and I only was awoken one by it (when I'd neglected to leave the ceiling fan at night.)

We had ongoing dialogue with Peggy throughout our stay via email and when we saw each other on the property. She is very pleasant and kind. She went above and beyond asking if we would like any other fresh fruit, clean towels or the like.

The town of Soquel is very quaint and nice. We ate at Tortilla Flats and the Ugly Mug coffee shop as well as Aldo's Bakery. Delicious food and great hospitality. We also liked visiting the nearby park with a playground and running track at the end of the day. It was a good way to burn off excess energy before settling into the cottage for the night with a bath and some TV.

I would highly recommend the Copper Tub Cottage for other individuals, couples or small families visiting the area. We will have fond memories of our stay here.
