The listing was totally accurate.. if anything, the cottage was even cozier than pictured!

Annie clearly cares about her space, and I felt welcome from the moment I entered the cottage. The decor is simple and lovely, and the Hot Tub functioned perfectly. I didn't even see Annie until Day Two, but she lives right next door and was available for anything we needed.

We didn't use them, but there were two bikes available to zip around by the beach if we wanted to. Also, the location is less than 15 minutes from downtown Santa Cruz. There is even ample parking on the street, with no time limits posted.

Very much enjoyed our time there, and highly recommend it!! Annie is a great host, and the cottage is well maintained, pleasant and comfortable. If you want a quiet few days away from things, but still within range of dining and shops, this is the place!!
