Kimlin's place is a cozy oasis in the heart of everywhere you want to be while visiting Santa Cruz. There are loving touches and attention to detail everywhere you look from the moment you pass through the charming front gate all the way through the gorgeous garden and trhoughout the adorable cottage. The bed and couch are comfortable and the towels and pillows are plush. The kitchenette has everything you need with the filtered water with insta-hotwater setting and delectable tea selection making it easy to settle right in upon arrival. The local art and colorful decor on display throughout the house are fun to enjoy as you take a reprieve from sightseeing and she had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. We also appreciated the local recommendations such as the Buttery (try the almond croissant!), Bicycle Trip (a 10 minute walk there will get you a 10 minute ride away from nearly anywhere you wanna go; the city is so bike friendly!) and the Staff of Life grocery has everything you need for a sunset picnic at Natural Bridges beach. Our stay was truly a pleasure and we would definitely come again!
