This is our second visit to Quiet Cottage and continues to be our lodging of choice when we visit our daughter and family in Santa Cruz. Jennifer and Hugo are great hosts in that everything is laid out well for self-service but they are ready in the background with any questions. One thing we particularly appreciated on this visit was the lovely back patio with wonderful birdsong - very restful. Ten minute drive to Westcliff Drive along the Monterey Bay is also a plus.
