My family and I loved staying at Michelle's beautiful, cozy beach cottage. The beds are really comfortable, the fireplace cozy and you can't beat being able to walk 5 minutes to the beach and local restaurants. We listened to Michelle's recommendations and ate at Pizza 1, Harbor Cafe, Verve coffee, and Aptos Barbecue. We also saw a great concert (Rhiannon Giddens) at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz. Michelle was very accommodating and clear in her communication. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. We will be back to stay again.
