Annie's beach cottage was the perfect rental for me for my vacation in Santa Cruz! It was well stocked with essentials (towels, dishes, soap, etc.) and she even brought me some fresh flowers and a bottle of wine to enjoy, which was the icing on the cake. It was nice knowing Annie was right next door in case I needed anything (especially since I was traveling alone) and so great to chat with her. Even though she was in close proximity she was not intrusive at all and I felt like I had a great amount of privacy. The cottage has a wonderful zen vibe, the bed was really comfy, and I enjoyed using the private hot tub every evening! Having laundry facilities was also a plus for me since I could just throw some in in the evenings and didn't have to worry about packing a bunch of dirty laundry in my suitcase to do when I returned home. This rental is in a wonderful location, too. I was able to make day trips down to Monterey and Big Sur and all the local eateries, breweries, and coffee shops were super convenient to get to and awesome! There is also a great yoga studio down the street (Pleasure Point Yoga) as well as am amazing little farmer's market on Portola Drive on Sundays that I took full advantage of. I just can't say enough good things about my stay here, I already miss it and can't wait to come back - thank you Annie!
