What a wonderful little home away from home in Lora's backhouse cottage. The space was just as beautiful as it looks in the photos, with all the amenities we could need! Lora was super responsive to my (many!) questions about the listing, which I really appreciated.

The sleeping situation is great for 5 people as long as everyone feels pretty cozy together -- I was with a group of my girlfriends so we didn't mind sharing the beds in a very open layout. There is one queen bed and one twin bed in the loft and a sofa on the main floor that converts into a double bed.

This is a great location for just about anything you could want in Santa Cruz -- a short drive (or easy walk) downtown, a quick hop over to The Buttery for breakfast or Shopper's Corner for groceries, and easy access to Seabright Beach.

The cottage was clean with a beautiful modern aesthetic, and we felt totally welcomed there! I highly recommend this place to anyone passing through town! I also really appreciated that this is one of very few listings in Santa Cruz that permit one-night stays.

Thanks, Lora!
