This house is adorable, rustic, and charming, just like an authentic Santa Cruz home should be. If you are looking for something modern and fancy, this would not be your place. If you are looking for a place that epitomizes beach cottage charm, this is your place! It has so many lovely sun-filled nooks to take in the ocean air. Not only does it have an ocean view from the living room and back deck, but you can also hear the waves crashing on the shore from most rooms in the house.

The location is ideal. The beach is right there. We walked up the street for almost all our meals: Betty's Burgers, Java Junction, Seabright Brewery, Tramonti, Surf Beach Bistro Bakery. We also walked to the Boardwalk in the evening, which gave us a great view from the bluff of the rides and the water.

The cottage is well outfitted with plenty of towels and bedding. Sabina was very quick to communicate with us when we had questions. I can't wait to come back here and stay longer than two nights.
