Shari's Sea Otter Cottage was absolutely charming. It was cozy, warm, clean, stylish, and in an absolutely ideal location. The kitchen was nicely stocked with essential cook and dish ware. The knives were impeccably sharpened, (which if you frequent Airbnb's enough you know this is rare), and the all the appliances worked beautifully. We took walks around the neighborhood, which is literally a block from the beach, spent evenings cooking while the kiddos watched movies, and we could still keep an eye on them due to the great layout. The bedrooms were clean and just the right size, and the backyard was lovely. You are close to neighbors (as is the case with prime location Santa Cruz bungalows), but we had no problems whatsoever. At night I sat in the hot tub under the stars, listening to the waves crash in the distance. It was lovely. Cannot wait to return.
