Erika and Blake's cottage is a true gem. It is difficult to capture the loveliness of their property in pictures, but we've never had a stay so far exceed our expectations. The cottage is in the backyard of the house, but it is very much a private rental as opposed to a room in a larger property. It is a bonus to walk through the large, gorgeous courtyard that surrounds the cottage, in addition to having your own patio. Given the times, cleanliness was a huge priority for us, and the cottage was sparkling clean. Erika and Blake are extremely kind, responsive and considerate of any needs you might have during your stay. Also, it is hard to convey how spectacular the scenery is in this location. There is a breathtaking beach with tons of wildlife and tide pools just minutes away and the most beautiful scenery in all of California within a 20 minute drive. We will be back for sure!
