Christine was a marvelous host. Her directions were spot on and check-in without her was a breeze. A handwritten note with more information greeted me. She texted me the first night to see if everything was okay. Her place is close to many things in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area. The bathroom is stocked with everything, including shampoo and blow dryer. The cute kitchenette even had a Nespresso machine! Wine glasses and other amenities made the stay relaxing and enjoyable. My husband couldn't join me at the last minute, so it was just me and our youngest dog. We're excited at the prospect of using Christine's Cottage as a family in the near future!
