Annie’s place was exactly how she had described it!! The cottage is absolutely adorable and is in a prime location! literally a block from the beach and within walking distance of shops and food. The cottage is tucked away on a side street which completely makes you feel like one of the locals. All the neighbors are super friendly too! Everyone smiles, waves and greets you. The cottage while on the smaller side provides you with everything you can possibly need for your stay. Although we didn’t get to spend a LOT of time in the cottage since we were out and about adventuring we came back to relax and eat and enjoy the beach vibes. Annie was very helpful and communicative. She checked on us periodically just to make sure we didn’t need anything and that we were comfortable. But also gave us our space and privacy. She gave us some great recommendations as far as where to go for food and coffee. 10/10 would recommend the Verve coffee shop! If you’re looking for a small town beach getaway I would definitely recommend Annie’s cottage. We would definitely stay here again but for longer than just a couple days just to be able to really really soak up that local Santa Cruz feel:)
