Just perfect for a mellow family weekend in Santa Cruz. Kim's place was super clean, uncluttered, tastefully decorated, charming, and comfortable for our family of 4. Our queen bed was very comfortable, and our 2 boys enjoyed their bunk beds. Kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the front yard hammock, outdoor shower, and deck. Kim even left us a kit with all the fixings for making s'mores in the outdoor fireplace. She also has a small but well-curated selection of DVDs! The beach is an easy 10 minute stroll with just one busy street to cross. The cottage is the last one at end of a dead-end street shaded by big trees, so it was very private, peaceful, safe, and kid-friendly. Our boys were sad to leave, and we'd love to come back!
