If you are visiting Santa Cruz, stay here! My boyfriend and I stayed at Kerstin's cottage for two days and wished we could have stayed longer. Kerstin was wonderful, giving us everything we needed to be comfortable and at the same time giving us plenty of privacy. Her home beautifully decorated, in an amazing location and the perfect home base for us to come back to. The bathroom was well equipped with everything from Trader Joes shampoo, conditioner and soap to razors, extra toothbrushes and toothpaste, and a blow dryer. The bedroom was fabulous with a comfy bed, a television, and access to the outdoor seating area. Overall an amazing experience for an amazing value. Thanks Kerstin, and if you are ever looking to sell your place we'll take it!! haha
