This cottage was pleasant and well-stocked with towels, bedding, and kitchen supplies. The location is fabulous - very close to the gorgeous coastline. Unfortunately, there was lots of noise from construction next door, and I didn't have any forewarning about this problem. There were a few issues that made the cottage a little less homey than it could have been. In addition, the host never responded to several messages I sent via Airbnb with questions before my stay, though perhaps there was some malfunction. Families with young children should note that there are various hazards for toddlers. The cottage was comfortable, though, and a nice option for visitors to Santa Cruz.
