Our stay here started out a bit rough, however, Quentin was quick to rectify the situation. The lock box was nowhere to be found, and we had trouble with the spare key. Upon entering, it was obvious that it had not been cleaned either. Quentin quickly got the cleaning crew to us and both Quentin and the cleaning personnel were totally apologetic. They were quick but thorough and it was smooth sailing afterward.

The cottage itself could use some updating, but it was gorgeous place to use a home base while exploring Santa Cruz (~20 min drive) and Big Sur. The residence looks exactly as it does in the photos and it was a great, intimate size for two people. More than four might be a crowd. While the surrounding neighbors were closer than we expected, the place is still quite private.

Your stay here won't exactly be luxurious, but if you're looking for a simple, secluded getaway, the view makes this cottage a wonderful choice.
