Christine's Cottage was a lovely place to stay. Christine was so sweet. She left a personalized card on the table when you first walk in. Without even knowing me, she had filled up the front & back of the card with a sweet personal message. Very touching. The place had everything you would need or want. Christine left detailed instructions for everything throughout the cottage which was super helpful. The place had it's own little kitchen, cute bathroom, all the necessary dishes, medium sized fridge, nice bed, heater, couch, table, T.V. & reliable internet. The only one thing that I will mmention is that there was a cat on the property 'meowing' by the window pretty loudly at random hours of the night & turning on the automatic outside light. We countered the light disturbance by shutting a darker window blind that was up in the cottage already. The cat, however, would sit in the cute window box right next to the glass, look in & meow. It didn't bother us much because we love animals & are late sleepers/sleep in anyway. Perhaps filling up the window box so that the cat can't sit inside it would help? It was the window box over the cute little couch. Other than that, the stay was great! There are several beautiful beaches close by. The Capitola Mall is a few blocks away too. There is lots of good food nearby & neat places to visit. Christine has a book about cool places to visit in the area in the cottage. Christine is very accommodating & gives you a LOT of privacy, which I really appreciated. Great place to stay. Nice, clean, cute & private.
