Erin’s cottage is perfect for any getaway you can imagine—weekend, birthday, or a couple’s retreat. I celebrated my birthday here, and we made use of every part of the space. The kitchen is modern and sleek, and we loved the open layout; while some of us poured drinks, the rest of us hung out on the comfy couch. The beds provided a great night’s sleep after a day at the beach. The spa felt amazing, and we really appreciated the laundry facilities so we could wash our suits and towels between the beach and spa use. It was super easy to plug in our Switch console to the TV, and the coffee table is the perfect size to play cards on. Erin even provided pages of recommendations in the Santa Cruz area, including everything from restaurants to surf spots—most things are no more than a 15 minute drive away. The cottage is so spacious and well decorated, and we already want to stay again someday!
