"Hard to find. Worth the effort."

"I loved the location and house. It was exactly ss described. I did the local history museum, the Wharf, and the Monterey Bay Natural Marine Sanctuary. Ate dinner at the Crows Nest 5 min away. Great view, okay food. So much I didn't see though. I only wish I could stay longer."

"We had a great time."

"Everything was perfect! Clean, safe, beautiful surroundings, and a very proactive host. 100% will stay here again. Zero disappointments."

"Clean, comfortable, nice neighborhood, everything we needed. We are in our 60's, so didn't need anything more."

"Super clean, comfortable, and convenient for our trip for the Big Sur Marathon! Walked to Carmel Beach several times. Safeway and restaurants about one mile away. Loved enjoying the outdoor patio space. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice quiet neighborhood."

"Bill is an amazing host. This property has had a lot of thought and energy put into it to make it very cozy, comfortable, and convenient. The two fire places are wonderful and the house had every convenience we needed. Everything was very clean and neat. There’s also multiple outdoor spaces where you can go enjoy some fresh air and lovely gardens. This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay!"

"Wonderful visit"

"really cute house, simple and comfortable, abundant light, open space yet private, everyone enjoyed this property, especially the back area with hammock and games!"

"This serene cottage was exactly what we needed. The bed was impressively comfortable and allowed us to get full night's of sleep, which is not the norm. The location could not have been better, central to everything but nestled away to provide the quiet we desired. The patio itself was a little oasis away from the hustle of daily life. And Chuck and Diane were absolutely wonderful, welcoming hosts."

"To be honest, the pictures provided of the cottage dont do it enough justice. Palo Colorado Rd is initially intimidating but as long as you turn your lights on, take it slow and be cautious of other vehicles its a wonderful road to drive through. The cottage is plesantly private and has everything you would want/need. Both trails are well taken care of, felt very safe and at the end of each trail is a place to relax on chairs or a hammock. Palo Colorado Canyon is absolutely stunning and you...

"We were visiting our daughter who attends UC Santa Cruz and wanted a place not too far from campus. This property was perfect! It was just 20 minutes from the college and wow is it gorgeous! The cottage is warm, welcoming and comfortable. The property is private and secluded, perfect for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. This place is a true gem."

"The vineyard and grounds are beautiful and well kept, and the local cat is very friendly, and greeted us when we arrived. While the kitchenette was small, it was useful. There is no longer a toaster oven, as the photo shows, but instead a separate toaster and a microwave. The pots and pans are stainless, and adequate for reheating and light cooking. The location is great! It's just a few minutes from some nice shops in Aptos Village, and Nisene Marks State Park, where we hiked a couple times."

"We loved our stay at the cottage! The house was immaculate and comfortable. I loved the thoughtful details like the record player with vintage albums (my daughter enjoyed playing them!), the shampoo and body wash in the shower, and the Nespresso pods. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The location is very convenient for grocery shopping (nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) and you're two minutes away from Pizza My Heart. Brayton was very responsive and helpful with...

"My favorite VRBO. Spotless, warm and cozy. Hillary has supplied everything including spices, aluminum foil and robes no less! The cottage and the gardens are something out of a Hans Christian fairy tale. Hillary is incredibly responsive and clearly takes great care of the cottage with love. Pure perfection."

"Lovely, quiet and peaceful and super nice hosts. But highly recommend arriving during daylight and follow the hosts directions as the roads are narrow and dark."

"This cottage was a convenient location to hang out and cook a few simple meals while in the area for the Sea Otter Bike festival. It housed me, my husband, and 18 year old son. There was good communication with the owners and no concerns noted."

"Amazing location with a super dog friendly yard and deck. Cottage is charming, well equipped and cozy when cool sea air comes by. Management was very available, accommodating and helpful. We would highly recommend this location!"

"Nice spacious property with beautiful grounds. Clean comfortable bedroom, bath and living area/kitchen. Great for extended stay."

"The property was beautiful, family fell instantly in love with it. We spent a good time for the weekend. Excellent communication with the owner."

"Last minute reservation when I couldn’t get in much more expensive places. But it was clean, right in the village and the service was better than any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. "

"Great stay! I was looking for a quiet place with nature. The cabin was a great experience for a getaway. And I went the nearby hikes which were amazing trails and views. Thank you !!!"
