Really cute beach cottage just down the way from watching epic sunsets and surfers on the ocean in a neighborly, very quiet part of Pleasure Point. The cottage is a historic Santa Cruz home lovingly designed with a calm Asian aesthetic by the family who has owned it for a long while--it doesn't feel like a normal austere or over-used Air BnB but like your friend's parents let you stay at their vacation place and they gave you their WiFi password too! I would say it's more a summer retreat than a winter retreat--because it was built almost a century ago, it can be a touch cold and damp compared to a modern house with the older heating and no fireplace to use for safety reasons. But know the children of the former owners (parents who passed away in the past couple years) just opened up the house this past summer so they are working on improvements as they become clear or simply happen from their parents' historic use of the place/the ocean weather ie new motor just went in on the higher-end Miele dishwasher and it runs like a dream. Liz is very nice and Gabriel is a gem, so whatever you need or any concerns, they care and will work with you with utmost speed. This place is especially good if you want to host dinners or like to cook--the grandmother clearly loved cooking so there are a wide range of chef appliances/gadgets and display plates/cookware to use for a Xmas or birthday dinner on their gorgeous copper-topped dining table. Truly a place to come every year with the homey vibe, maybe an annual retreat where you can have an Asian-inspired dinner after a bike ride around the Point. Glad I got to stay here!
