Shhh- don’t tell too many people, Terry and Vallarie’s beach-vibe cottage is a terrific place to stay in Santa Cruz. All the amenities like extra blankets and thoughtful things like coffee and salt/pepper were so appreciated. Located in a non-touristy and quiet neighborhood, walking distance to beautiful Twin Lakes Park (15 min), local’s coffee and Mexican food (10 mins), short drive to other sights and restaurants in Santa Cruz, you get the idea. The cottage was the perfect cozy and comfortable home base during a rainy few days, and I can’t wait to come back when it’s beach weather and enjoy even more!
