The Sunset Cottage is so very charming, and the view of the ocean and coastline from the deck is wonderful. The small neighborhood the cottage is in was quiet, and the neighbors friendly and helpful. How often does one get to stay in their own house on a bluff overlooking a quiet beach?? If you've ever dreamed of it, you can experience it here. Valerie was an outstanding hostess, allowing us to bring our little dog, and rearranging a pre-scheduled maintenance appointment, so we could extend our stay an additional night. The cottage is secluded, but it is a short, picturesque drive to Capitola (about a 15 minute drive) and to Santa Cruz (about a 30 minute drive) - take the back/local roads and avoid Route 1 traffic, then return to the cottage by late afternoon to enjoy the solitude, dinner and wine on the deck, and the sunset. A California dreamin' vacation!
