This cottage is simply wonderful! It is clean, bright and spacious. The bed is amazingly comfortable and it is decorated in a warm and fun way. The kitchen is well appointed and big. The yard is large and even includes a trampoline for the kids!!
The neighborhood is well established and quiet. There is plenty of parking. The private entrance is nice as we came in after 10:00 pm two of the nights we were there.
The location is a little over two miles from the boardwalk up in the hills. It was a super short and easy drive to many delicious restaurants and grocery stores.
But what makes this cottage truly unique is Jennifer, Hugo, their two children and the snuggly Ringo! We were immediately made to feel at home by Hugo. Shortly there after Jennifer returned with their two boys who instantly made friends with my 9 year old son. Our boys played together so nicely!! It helped to share a LOVE of Legos!!! Ringo is a sweet dog who wants nothing more than a good pet. He is very quiet and I think I heard him bark once. The entire family is incredibly friendly. Jennifer and Hugo were always willing to chat but also respected our privacy. Hugo was even kind enough to offer to wash my son's soccer uniform...we were there for a tournament.
This was one of the best times we have spent in Santa Cruz and I truly believe much of that has to do with this cozy cottage hosted by an amazing family. We will definitely return here for next year's tournament...but hopefully sooner!!
Thank you so much Jennifer, Hugo, boys and Ringo!!!
