Even though I didn't meet Beth, the cottage was delightful! I stayed there with 2 friends of mine for the Capitola Half Marathon and it was perfect for us! The bed and air mattress were comfortable and the kitchen was quaint and just what we needed to make our pre-race breakfasts. Overall, the cottage was clean and cozy. We wish we could've taken a "racation" and stayed at the cottage longer. I would definitely recommend Beth and her cottage to anyone passing through Santa Cruz.
