Kristen & Shane are truly ideal hosts. They have excellent response times and do everything to ensure a pleasant stay, all while respecting privacy. The cottage itself is gorgeous and comfortable--inside and out. I slept like a dream, and enjoyed the rocking chair on the porch in the evening, with the sweet visiting Labrador, Rose. This location is just perfect, away from the hustle and bustle, but just a quick drive to dt Santa Cruz and the beach. I highly recommend you stay. I will absolutely stay again.
