We enjoyed our second stay at Marlene’s spacious poolside cottage. We were back in town for a surprise birthday party located just down the road at Jack Rose Libation House/Bramble Bier, check out their specialty cocktails. This cottage is the perfect spot to rest and relax after a full day of work or play in the area. I was born and raised in the area and was amazed how centrally located the cottage is. It was easy to get to Santa Cruz, Stanford or Downtown San Jose. Marlene is a wonderfully warm and kind host.
