Our recent Guests wrote: ""We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Joe & Melody's cottage. The cottage is attached to their beautiful home, both are on a hillside overlooking the ocean. It was a perfect-sized one bedroom apartment for the two of us and our dog. We found it to be very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. It was only a 15 minute drive to Santa Cruz beach/boardwalk, and about 40 minutes to Monterey, very good location! We are considering a return trip with our kids and grandkids if we can find another rental nearby for them. Our granddaughters would love the beach & boardwalk. I also appreciated Joe's help with returning a scarf that I left behind, he is very considerate. Thanks for a lovely beach getaway Joe and Melody!

Joe was amazing words cannot describe how kind he was.. I wasn’t there all the time due to work but I enjoyed it when I had the chance.. I highly recommend it and will definitely return .. Dave / October 2023 4.5 Star; Joe and Melody have a gorgeous home, and the attached, private cottage is a lovely place to stay. Everything we needed was provided and the outdoor seating / BBQ area is just beautiful. I would recommend this lovely place. MaryJane / September 2023 5 Star; Joe is a great communicator and provided clear information and ideas of surrounding area. The cottage was up-to-date, organized, full amenities as described. Nice setting with outdoor patio. We were there for overnight only so did not use all the amenities provided. Cottage is quiet and very comfortable. I would return easily and overall very pleased with this booking. Eugene / September 2023 5 Star; Joe's cottage house has a nice view and nice landscaping. He allowed me to check in early!! Joanna / August 2023 5 Star; Fantastic stay! Spacious and clean, with an outdoor patio. Very generous hosts. Amber / July 2023 5 Star; We had a fun time staying here on our family vacation. Our 2 little ones fit wonderfully on the convertible couch at bedtime. And we felt the house was close to everything we wanted to see, but tucked away enough to be peaceful and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. Oindrila / July 2023 5 Star; Nice place to stay. everything is nearby but far from public noise. Monterey aquarium pass got received. Excellent stay. Kitchen has all the basic amenities but not all fully equipped kitchen. Excellent stay. Nicholette / June 2023 4.5 Star; This was our first Airbanb experience and it was great. Joe was a great communicator and the space was very clean and comfortable. It was stocked with more than we could need. The three of us and our dogs had a great stay. It was a really quick drive to the beach and great restaurants. Beautiful town and you can tell Joe and Melody take great pride in their home. Max / June 2023 5 Star; Good experience. It can be easy to miss the driveway on first pass but easy after that. Only critique is small: the bathroom is connected to the bedroom with no door in between. It would be nice to have a closing door to separate those spaces, especially if people are staying on the pullout couch too Joe was very friendly and responsive. The internet was out for a few days which made it hard to do work, but Joe made a small reimbursement to compensate. Very clean please and easy access to Santa Cruz, Aptos, Monterey, etc and with great views from the neighborhood Andrew / June 2023 4.5 Star; Great spot for a family as the bathroom is open to main bedroom. Michael / June 2023 5 Star; Joe is very nice and flexible. Perfect place for one night. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Front entrance ramp - No lift - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - At least 80% organic food - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Vegan dining options - Vegetarian dining options - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90330000/90329500/90329500/35111d57.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### La Selva Beach Guest Suite, Pet Friendly La Selva Beach - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=90329500&PinnedHotelID=90329500&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30090000/30084000/30083907/d7ae483e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seascape Garden Studio Minutes From Ocean Or Redwoods Aptos - Outdoor space - Parking available - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 216 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=30083907&PinnedHotelID=30083907&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92710000/92707400/92707303/e50b9f47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Creekside Cabin in Santa Cruz Mountains Soquel - Hot tub - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=92707303&PinnedHotelID=92707303&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30800000/30792300/30792256/4c10bbe2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean View Studio Condo at Seascape Resort Aptos - Sea view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 239 reviews £295 includes taxes & fees 12 Oct - 13 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=30792256&PinnedHotelID=30792256&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76410000/76400700/76400618/2d6e63e6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Capitola Village Beach Cottage Living!

It’s 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.

We'll stay here again if we're in the area! ##### Nathalie M.

Very close to hiking trails. Quiet and peaceful. ##### Rick W.

It was so light and airy and I loved the original art. The sofa was comfy and long enough that i didn’t need to open it up. I would enjoy going back to stay for a month to paint, read and relax. ##### Jacqueline C.

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 “odd quirk” 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 we’d brought any guys along. ##### Gretchen W.

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! ##### Shelley P.

It’s 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! ##### Judy H.

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 weren’t 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 didn’t have complete privacy in the bathroom but again it didn’t 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. ##### Amber W.

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. ##### Becca S.
