THE COTTAGE: Need a vacation, a place to relax and to get away from it all? Welcome. Walk into "The Cottage" and feel your shoulders ease as you unwind into your own fully equipped beach home. Just two blocks to the local’s favorite Blacks Beach, at the secluded end of Twin Lakes near the Harbor, a perfect place for playing in the sand, swimming, light surfing, boogie boarding, reading, sunset strolls and fresh ocean air. At Blacks Beach your pup is allowed on leash and bonfires are permitted in the fire pits provided. The Cottage is a perfect affordable vacation home for a couple or small family, with all the amenities you will need for a memorable Santa Cruz adventure. The living room is especially inviting with comfortable furnishings and ambient lighting. A separate dining room easily accommodates 4 people and the adjacent kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. The bedroom has a very comfortable (based on past reviews) queen-sized bed, and a skylight overhead. There is a sleeping nook off of the bedroom that has a day bed -- an inviting spot to curl up with your favorite book, or a perfect place for the kids. In the living room is an additional daybed covered with comfy pillows. Enjoy a view of the beautifully landscaped garden and lawn from the dining room and kitchen. The fully fenced backyard with gas grill is a nice place for outside meals. Speaking of meals, you can purchase all your ingredients at the farmers market two short blocks away every Sunday. Should you want a night off from cooking, no problem! There are several wonderful restaurants within walking distance. All sound good? Just what you hoped for in a vacation home and location? We look forward to seeing you. HISTORY: The Cottage was built in the 1920’s, and was one of the first homes in the area. Before the neighborhood was built up there were expansive fields of flowers surrounding the Cottage, and a lovely path winding down to the ocean. In the 1950s the Cottage was occupied by a family who built their dream house next door, which has since been named the Green House and remodeled into a unique vacation rental which accommodates eight. LOCATION: The Cottage is located near Twin Lakes Beach and the Yacht Harbor, midway between Capitola and downtown Santa Cruz (both 10 minutes away). There are six fabulous restaurants within walking distance, ranging from an Hawaiian grille to a high-end Italian restaurant, and our personal favorite, Southwest-inspired Nuevo Grill. A short stroll down the beach will bring you to the yacht harbor where you will find the popular Palomar Mexican restaurant and the Crow's Nest. The Crow's Nest is a great place to enjoy the sunset, a glass of wine and a bite to eat or on Wednesday to watch the sailboat races. Also within walking distance is a corner food store, liquor store, deli, coffee house, video store and yoga/pilates studio. •SLEEPS 1 - 4: Perfect for a couple or small family. •BEDROOM: The bedroom has a queen-size bed, an adjoining sleeping nook with a day bed and an additional twin-size bed in the living room.
