Great Amenities, Location and OODLES of Charm!
We stayed for a long weekend. The house is really fun with three different, separately fenced areas. There were lots of thoughtful touches throughout the home like a bowl and dog toy for our dog, plenty of pillows, throws, umbrellas, and beautiful art. The kitchen had everything you could think of and then some. In fact, the whole house just has art and pillows and textures everywhere. The hot tub was lovely and we used it every evening. I gave my twin boys the big master in the front and I took the smaller bedroom with the hot tub right off the patio. I wasn't sure from the listing, but there are two bathrooms. The neighborhood was fairly quiet for SC, though it should be noted that there is a back unit and if it's rented, those strangers will be coming through your sideyard where there are a lot of windows. I think the back unit also allows dogs, because there was a little, yappy dog back there every morning about 7 a.m. I didn't mind as I'm an early riser, but just wanted to warn. The only thing this charming, cute little cottage is missing is a nightstand in the smaller bedroom. That would be a nice touch. (Oh and don't forget to buy one of the beautiful cards in the kitchen! They are gorgeous!)

Awesome stay
Everything is top notch. Sara and all the things she does to make your stay comfortable from luxury linens to treats ( both human and for dog) to beautiful gardens to her beautiful artwork and providing a relaxing atmosphere are more than expected. We have stayed here many times and plan to return soon.

Our favorite getaway!
We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this is our favorite. We have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times and enjoyed each one. The neighborhood is quiet, the gardens are beautiful, the decor is peppered with original art and comfy furnishings and Sara, the host, is wonderful. The King size bed is just right and the shower in the back bedroom is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and we have cooked everything from tacos to chili to pasta and fish. We all enjoyed the treats provided by Sara and our dog enjoys the fenced in front yard and walks in the neighborhood. There are plenty of restaurants close by and some within walking distance. We are looking forward to our next stay in a month or so.

Fabulous family time, with adult children
This was our first VRBO experience, and we were pleased with every aspect of our stay. Compared to hotels, this was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, safe, and relaxing. We appreciated the original art work, the tropical gardens, and the comforts of home. Our small, older dog was happier than he has ever been on a trip. The location is ideal, as the property is set between Capitola and Santa Cruz, just under half a mile from the beach. Thank you to Sara, our host, who went above and beyond to accommodate parking for my son's SUV and trailer. Wonderful memories: kayaking in Santa Cruz, an elegant, delicious meal at Shadowbrook, and relaxing in the hot tub. Everything went smoothly, and we felt at home. We loved our first VRBO stay! Thank you Sara for the extra touches that made us feel welcomed. Kelly and family

Home away from home: Simply Perfect:)
We came here to spend time with our brand new granddaughter and her parents. They live a half a mile away, and we could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. Sara’s magnolia cottage is peaceful, perfectly laid out and lovingly cared for. The gardens are spectacular and soothing. The hot tub was the perfect way to book end our day. I love, love the kitchen and all the equipment. We had everything we needed ( and more). Sara was immediately responsive to any questions or needs. We don’t have any pets, and this is a pet friendly place. The place was impeccably clean, and there was no evidence of any pet dander. This is the best place we have ever stayed. I highly recommend it . It’s also the perfect location with the beach and East Cliff just down the road: not to mention verve coffee, Pizza and a brewery within walking distance. I’m hoping that this will be our go to place on regular visits to Capitola /Santa Cruz. Truly wonderful and we are so grateful.

We loved this cottage by Pleasure Point Beach
This cottage was perfect for my husand and I, our teenage son and our dog, Blue. It was cozy and artistic. The king size bed in the main room was one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in while traveling. The hot tub was large, secluded and fit the whole family in. We loved the little garden area in the front. It was a great location, walking distance to coffee, restaurants and the ocean. And, Sara, the owner, was very accomdodating to all our needs. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
