We loved the cozy charm and mid-century vibes. The kitchen has high end appliances and was well thought out with everything we needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable and linens were clean and plentiful. We loved Manresa State Beach, a short drive away and picture perfect California sunsets. We did encounter a few spiders during the week, but that’s not surprising considering the beautiful wildflower meadows on both sides of the house. The sunflowers, strawberries, and farm fresh eggs at check in were a delight! The proximity to Watsonville for groceries was a plus. Definitely check out Seascape Foods for last minute items, including Marianne’s ice cream! So happy I found this cozy beach cottage! ##### Jamie E.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. We haven’t missed anything! Everything was comfortable from the beds to the terrace with ocean view. In the mornings when the fog is often in the bay, our teenage son and us enjoyed table tennis and later in the day, when usually the sun is coming out, we took the boogie board provided by the owners. The beach is only 10 min walk from the house. On our arrival we found a sweet welcome message. There were even beach towels for us to use. The owners thought of everything! Next time we bring our golf bags. ##### Andrea B.

Had family staying up the road at the KOA and it was great to have our own place but be close. 15 minutes away from most tourist locations. House was clean and had everything we would need. Would stay again! ##### Emily W. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ---
