Kate’s sweet little cottage at their home in Santa Cruz was awesome for us and for our short stay there when we were visiting family in the area. We appreciated everything about it & know it will be our favorite of the four places we are staying during this Cali trip to various locations. I appreciated the comfy bed, the kitchen & roomy space, and nice little backyard garden, with the mellow clucking sounds of the chickens!The lovely scent & beauty of the backyard flowers...and the close proximity to the beach, with a corner grocery store and local eateries close by were a plus. I’m glad to have met Kate, who was an awesome host & very responsive communicator. I hope to have the pleasure of being hosted by her again sometime.
