This cottage has the perfect location when visiting Santa Cruz. Only a five minute walk to the West Cliff recreation pathway that we ran, walked and biked up and down several times each day; an 8 minute bike ride to the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery (delicious!); 7 minute bike ride to The New Leaf grocery market; 10 minute bike ride to Iveta Cafe (great patio to enjoy your morning coffee and get a sacked lunch; and this neighborhood was so much more relaxing and quiet than downtown or the busy east side of Santa Cruz that has so much traffic.

The cottage itself was very clean with a very comfortable bed and very nice bathroom/shower. The kitchen was spacious with a ton of natural light. The cupboards had everything you needed, but needed some organizing. The living room had a tv with a pull out couch, but was a little dark for hanging out as the weather was so nice. The garden has a little table for two, but is not very large with not much to look at, so we opted to hang out elsewhere. Although the backyard did provide some shade when we needed to get out of the sun.

Bottom line, this cottage is a great place to stay in Santa Cruz with access to everything you need, in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, only a couple of blocks from the West Cliff. We recommend it and will return.
