What a wonderful little cottage! Christine has thought of everything! Even dog blankets! Although we didn't cook during our stay, the little kitchenette is very well equipped. There were nice toiletries available, plenty of thick soft towels and the bed...so comfortable! She has labeled the cupboards so you can easily find anything you need and included dog-friendly places in her guest book. The cottage is near shops, and not terribly near the beach, but in a quiet residential neighborhood in Capitola. Christine checked on us by text when we arrived to be sure everything was in order and made sure we were welcome to contact her if we needed anything, but otherwise just left us alone, which was perfect. We had a wonderful midweek getaway and would happily return or recommend Christine's cottage to friends. :-)
