I recommend Christine's cottage to visitors in and near Santa Cruz for pleasure or business travel. Her cozy cottage and ample extras were helpful, kind and made the experience of travel relaxing and just blocks from Monterey Bay a delight. Everything you need to stay comfortable was available: comfortable bed, kitchen extras, complimentary wine and coffee, quiet and private outside courtyard, ample parking, speedy broadband, big screen television, comfortable and very well appointed bathroom. Our gracious host checked in with us to see how we were and offered tips on local sites and amenities as well. Her Cottage is close to everything you may need: shops, restaurants, food stores, pharmacy and easily walkable. I highly recommend her Cottage and thank Christine for the memorable stay near Capitola By the Sea (which you should absolutely visit.
