It really is a great space, from when you walk in through the bamboo grove, until you arrive at the cottage with it's own deck and privacy screen, it really has a vacation feel.

They leave instructions in the cottage (contact info, how to operate coffee machine, TV setup, etc) and favorite restaurants for food. It's really close to downtown so the beach, shops, restaurants are all walking distance. Also, the host is very responsive to any questions via the app.

The cottage is very spacious, we enjoyed watching Netflix on their smart DVD -- sorry for messing up your profile :) The hot tub is FANTASTIC, we used it like 6 times that weekend. In all, we were able to have a really enjoyable weekend in Santa Cruz, and we'll definitely be back next year.
