The Dragonfly Cottage is exactly as advertised: quiet, comfortable, beautiful and remote. I've never had a bad experience renting on Air BnB and the trend continues!

My partner and I rented the cottage last minute for a fun getaway from city life. Mary Jane provided the perfect escape! The bed is comfortable, the view is spectacular, the hot tub is hot. The cottage is comfortable and very well maintained. The experience we were looking for (an intimate escape from everything) was exactly what we got. The cottage is on a shared property and though people were living in the house a few hundred yards away from the cottage we were left to our own devices.

Sitting and watching the sunset over the Santa Cruz mountains was beautiful and we stayed up later than we should have watching shooting stars.

My only "warnings" (and I mean this fondly and warmly) are: pre-check your directions and don't rely on GPS to get you to the cabin (Mary Jane provides EXCELLENT written instructions that made the journey very clear) but the cottage is off the "beaten path" to be sure. The fridge in the cabin is also on the smaller side and takes a bit to cool things off. If you're trying to have a cool drink upon arrival make sure to have a bag of ice or a cooler full of chilled drinks.

If she'll have us back, we plan on returning for many a weekend at this cottage. Its 25 minutes from Santa Cruz, 15 from Capitola and maybe an hour from Monterey (though likely less). If you are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle this clean, well appointed, picturesque, friendly and beautiful cabin is your ideal destination.
