The stay was wonderful. Marilyn was great at communicating and explained everything very well. She made us feel right at home. The cottage was close to capitola, aptos and Santa Cruz. It was only an hour and a half drive to Monterey. The cottage was clean, very well organized and had a home like feel to it. It does not have Ac but you won't need it as the weather is nice. Plenty of places to eat at in soquel. Would recommend that anyone stay here.
