Mara was extremely accommodating towards us which helped us feel very relieved and less stressed. That morning of, we had originally booked with someone else but they last minute cancelled on us after driving 8 hours to Santa Cruz. We booked last minute with Mara and she was quick and allowed us to check in early.
The cottage backyard is super cute! Inside, it is nicely decorated and very spacious. We were 3 adults with 2 small dogs and it was perfect! There are also additional beds/rooms if you need extra space which is additional money but it was nice to know that option was available. These additional beds/rooms our outside by the cottage and are also very nicely decorated and well kept from what I could see.
The cottage is extremely clean, has plenty of towels, and kitchen equipment. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. It was perfect for a family getaway trip. Big bonus is we’re few minutes driving distance from the beach and stores.
It was also walking distance from our private meditation session we had which was perfect! I highly recommend this place if you want to come here to relax.
Tip: if you’re going with a bunch of girls, make sure to bring a mirror since the only mirror is in the restroom lol but other than that everything was perfect
