My Significant Other and I stayed two nights at the Sumner Cottage in Santa Cruz. I thought we might be the first to stay there - the place was immaculate!
It is a wonderful, charming cottage with kitchen/dining room, tiny living room, small bedroom with queen size bed, medium-biggish bathroom, and a room with washer and fridge. All has been remodeled and updated in 2021. The walk to the beach and boardwalk took us through the neighborhood - Italian restaurants, Betty Burgers, a bakery, a few bars, various shops and lots of darling houses.
Leah and Phil are accommodating hosts; we invited them over for wine and they are an interesting couple who have lived in far, far away lands.
This is a keeper! I’m compiling a list of keepers for all of the places we love to visit, and this is #1 on Santa Cruz.
