I stayed here with my longtime best friend and her 10-year-old daughter over a three-day weekend. It was such a lovely experience. Not only was the place clean and cozy with a well-stocked, fully-equipped kitchen, our hosts were VERY kind and welcoming. The only âodd quirkâ was the flimsy partition separating the main sleeping area from the bathroom in lieu of a door. We worked around this by agreeing to stay out of the bedroom whenever one of us needed a bathroom break, but it might have proven a bit awkward if weâd brought any guys along.
This is a beautiful property with gentle, kind hosts. Itâs tranquil up the hill from all the hustle and bustle along the coast. We loved staying here on our bike ride from Canada to Mexico and the hosts let us put the bikes indoors overnight. We especially enjoyed the view, the fire pit and the beautiful garden. Just be aware the bathroom isnât completely sealed from the bedroom but that wasnât a problem for us as we stayed here as a family.
Had an awesome on night stay at this cute guest house spot. The location was nice and the house it was attached to was beautiful. The place was overall clean & tidy but the pullout couch did have some stains but we werenât really put off by that. The bathroom situation was a bit tricky due to it being divided by a partial pull out wall so you didnât have complete privacy in the bathroom but again it didnât bother us at all but for some that may be a deterrent. Overall we had a great stay and would absolutely book here again! The owners were extremely communicative & let us use their park & aquarium passes.
Very clean and organized. Loved the supplies provided. Cups, dishes, coffee etc. The futon was super comfortable. Nice floorplan flow. Cozy. Close enough to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Thanks for the 2 guest passes to the Aquarium!
This is a very nice property. Clean and extremely well equipped all you need to bring is your clothes you will want for nothing else. Beautiful home with a nice little guest house great location at a very fair price. I very highly recommend a stay here.
I went for a few of days with a friend for my birthday, and adored this place. It was so light and airy and I loved the original art. The sofa was comfy and long enough that i didnât need to open it up. I would enjoy going back to stay for a month to paint, read and relax.
We loved the beach cottage near the beach. The owner was responsive to our questions, and we had great weather especially for January. The location was good as it was close to Santa Cruz and about a 40 minute drive to Monterey. We'll stay here again if we're in the area!
We stayed two nights. The owner was very easy to work with and helpful. It was great that they had aquarium and state park passes for people to use. The beach is about 1.4 miles away, downhill on the way there, so we chose to drive. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood. The house was clean. Our biggest complaint was the bed. While I know that bed firmness/softness is personal, this mattress just seemed older and neither of us slept well on it. The sheets were also scratchy. With a more comfortable bed and softer sheets, it could have been a 5.
The property is attached to the owner house, but has completely independent entrance. Has a nice grill area attached to it which we did not get to enjoy, but can be an awesome place to hang around with family. The place was very clean, beds and sofa were in very good condition. The sofa bed, for a change, was actually sturdy and as good as a bed for two people.
Overall very happy with this trip and our stay.
Lovely cottage in nice neighborhood with many thoughtful amenities.
I especially appreciated well stocked kitchen with basic spices and condiments provided.
Bed was comfortable.
Nice that it was on ground floor.
Front patio with ocean view a plus.
The cottage was the perfect location for our visit to Aptos. Joe was friendly and inviting. The place was cute and perfect for our stay over. Close to our event so that was a plus. Thank you, we will be back. :)
Great little cottage. Very clean and tidy. Didnât realize there was no door between bedroom and bath, which made a stay for 3rd person (sleeping on the couch) a bit weird. Would recommend this place for couples, though!
Itâs a very welcoming place. The furnishings and the cottage itself are beautiful with a wonderful beach vibe. The hosts were attentive and thoughtful. I definitely give this property a 5 out of 5!
Perfect vacation place, everything was sparkling clean and well stocked with all essentials. Perfect location, close to beach and hiking trails, stores, and everything else that you may need. Joe and Melody are perfect hosts, always there when needed, very responsive and helpful. We are definitely coming back there in near future. Thank you Joe and Melody!
