Beauty and grace - inside and out. The Garden Cottage is spotlessly clean, tastefully renovated, and exceptionally decorated. Everything is fresh and pretty, from the garden entryway to the linens and dishes. The cottage is thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We loved the skylit rooms and the private, comfortable outdoor patio. We could walk to the beach or downtown. Carla was welcoming, check-in was super easy, and we were confident of help if we needed anything. We highly recommend Carla's Garden Cottage for a stay in Santa Cruz.
