We stayed in the cottage 2 nights with our 17 months old son. He had fun playing with pine cones, sticks running in fresh air, splashing in the tub on the patio during the day and he played with sand on the beach in Capitola village.(very beautiful place with shops, restaurants and the beach!)

We loved to fall asleep looking at the stars and trees through the giant skylight in the ceiling. The hot tub experience was very romantic and beautiful. Stars, trees, candles and clean warm water. The hot tub on the patio is chlorine free as you will fill it yourself and drain it yourself which makes it different from hotel hot tubs which smell and have chlorine.

The cottage is clean. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen and all house had all natural cleanings supplies, shampoos, honey, sugar and etc.

The woods are beautiful. The trees are so tall, you can hear birds. There is no phone network there which was good for us to reconnect with each other. There is wire internet and no wireless and we never asked for it as we liked the idea of being in connection with each other and nature. Safeway and other stores are 10 mins away.

Lovely place. I recommend it! Clean, comfortable, romantic. Books, magazines, dvds for adults and kids, board games.
