The cottage is beautiful, clean and very nicely upgraded! We were very happy with our stay here! The neighborhood is also very quiet and close to the center of Santa Cruz, we didn't user the bikes, but driving there was really quick and parking downtown was surprisingly cheap. We did not meet Mary Beth, but she was very responsive to my emails and she also left a very nice note welcoming us to the cottage with a complimentary bottle of wine and Perrier water, which was a very nice touch!

I would definitely recommend staying here to check out Santa Cruz!
