Ian was a wonderful landlord. He addressed any issues in a timely matter. The cottage very charming and well appointed. Having brand new beds and furniture was a real treat. The linens were luxurious. I especially loved the dutch door.

Where the cottage is located feels quite rural yet you are only a half mile to the surf, a short walk to 41st street with its shops and cafes and a 5 minute ride to the Capitola Mall.

The stray cats did drive us a bit crazy. There was one who sat on the deck right outside the master bedroom door meowing all night long. Another cat sat outside the dinning doors every afternoon, I assume meowing for food.

We love sleeping with windows opened. We woke to a skunk spray a few times so we had to end that.

There is truly only parking for one car. On nights and weekends street parking can be a challenge.

This was our first experience with Airbnb so it's possible our expectations were too high.
