Three of us were looking for a weekend getaway, and we got that plus more!
The host Jay was incredibly welcoming. He showed us around and even had a warm loaf of bread waiting for us, along with coffee/tea and bagels for breakfast the next day!
The cottage was super cozy, and we utilized all of its special features that drew it to us in the first place.
Its proximity to Capitola, a sweet little beach village, allowed us to spend the day browsing through shops, eat a lovely meal out, and watch the sun set on the water. When we returned to the cottage that night, we relaxed in the hot tub, looking at the stars and moon peeking through the redwoods. Later, we went inside and sat by the pot belly stove and lit a fire. Two of us had a great nights sleep in the bed, while another slept comfortably on bedding in front of the fire.
The next morning at dawn, my husband made his way around the labyrinth. He found negative adjectives that described himself popping into his mind. But at the middle, they disappeared and as he left the labyrinth, they were replaced by positive ones. And that pretty much sums up our stay at Jay's cottage--transformative.
We will definitely be coming back!
