I booked this cottage based on the fantastic reviews, the location and the fact that Airbnb deemed it a 'rare find.' The cottage lived up to its reputation. The place made my weekend comfortable, exciting and romantic. The cottage is free-standing and private. It has a separate bedroom, a living room area, a kitchenette and a full-bathroom. There are windows all around and a high cathedral ceiling, so even though it measures less than 300-square feet, the height and light gives it a very open, airy feeling.
My boyfriend and I made this a starting point to explore Capitola, the Boardwalk and the Mystery Spot. The yard area is cultivated and comfortable. Terry and Vallarie brought the bbq grill out for us in advance but alas there were too many scrumptious restaurants awaiting us (Crow's Nest and Lillian's). Rain was in the forecast, but the sun came out and we lazily lounged on the Adirondack chairs on a Saturday afternoon. Terry and Vallarie were out surfing that morning and returned. They are so stunningly fit! We toasted our weekend with some bourbon. We met Nala, their loveable foster doggie. Terry popped up the sun umbrella for us and left us alone. There is a long dedicated driveway space for parking. There is a lemon tree growing at the door of the cottage, colorful flowers and succulents. The cottage is thoughtfully equipped. Good vibes all around. I'm so glad I picked this place. Terry and Vallarie are attentive, fantastic hosts! -Thank you for letting us call it home for the weekend!
