Phil’s Santa Cruz cottage has much to recommend and a few issues that might matter for people thinking about booking a reservation. The cottage was spotless and everything worked. The one actual bed was comfy and the bathroom had a great shower. It is a 10-15 minute walk to Seabright Beach. From there you can walk on the beach to the boardwalk. .
The cottage would be most comfortable for a single person or a couple. The cottage has one actual bedroom and another room with a TV and a futon. The bedroom does not have an actual window that faces the outdoors. The kitchen is really bare bones- 3 plates, 4 bowls, no real serving bowls. There were lots of spices but not a lot to actually cook with. The fridge is around the corner from the kitchen. They have clothes washer but no dryer. In the house info they recommend a full day if you use their drying rack. I looked back on the listing and that was consistent with the listing. There is a laundromat nearby. A washer and dryer are really helpful for a beach vacation.
Check out time is 10, which is earlier than most AirBnBs. We asked if it was possible to check out later. Phil charged $50 to stay until 12:30
