Shelley’s place was beautiful and incredibly welcoming. It was spotless clean and homely, decorated and stocked with care and attention to detail. The little private garden was kept very nicely and was visited by hummingbirds who like to feed on the flowers every morning! Shelley had really thought of everything and provided us with all the amenities we could have needed on our stay. There were brand new towels, linen, a well furnished kitchen with all the cooking tools we might need, even a yoga mat. She also lent us a pair of beach chairs which came in handy. The bed was very comfortable. Shelley and Marshall are both lovely people and lead an environmentally-conscious lifestyle, which we really appreciated. The cottage definitely reflects this. We were very happy to have experienced Santa Cruz and all its surrounding natural beauty staying at Shelley’s place. Thank you both!
