The cottage was great - a very cozy space in a perfect location. It was just a short walk to the beach. The driveway is a little narrow for larger cars (I didn't have a problem with a mid-sized SUV, but it was tight).
I did have some communication issues at first with Gail - we were not given check-in details until a few hours after check-in time. However, Gail made sure to contact us after she finally sent us the details and checked up on us the following day.
Overall, a great cottage and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, private space in Santa Cruz.
