This place was so awesome that I had the urge to gate keep so I can rent it again in the future! It was even better than the photos, perfect for our small family. I love the outdoor area and the indoor was beautifully decorated with all of the necessary appliances, towels, pillows…everything. It was an easy walk to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful too. Might be my favorite vacation rental ever! The hosts were very responsive to every question as well. SO GOOD.

Eileen & Jason are super responsive and proactive in their communications. The cottage is adorable and so very peaceful. We found it very clean. There is a coffee/sandwich place a block away, a bar/restaurant a short walk away, and the beach, along with another restaurant and coffee/breakfast place a ten minute walk away. So convenient! Check in/out was super easy. If we return to Santa Cruz we’ll be sure to stay here again.

I was actually sad when I had to leave. This cottage was perfect for me and my dog. The backyard (and front) are completely fenced in so he spent much time outside. The beach is within walking distance and there are several really nice restaurants within a block or two. I think it is a perfect location. And, it is a quiet neighborhood at night. The owners are remarkable at communicating!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE and will definitely be returning.
