Gail's cottage was exactly as described, and it was perfect for my husband and me. Just a short drive/walk to the beach and to downtown Santa Cruz, it was a the ideal home base for us. The back patio is darling, and while it is defintiely rustic and small, the space felt loved and happily lived in. Super quiet, super convenient. Gail's communication was terrific, and I highly recommend the little cottage. This was our first AirBnB rental, and it went very smoothly.
