Marcy’s charming little cottage is in the perfect location for us. We love the Twin Lakes Beach area with excellent coffee shop and places to eat within easy walking distance. Communication with Marcy was great and we really enjoyed our stay.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
It was my first time visiting Santa Cruz California. So much to do. We had a wonderful time here. The beach was so beautiful and sunny out here as well. The weather is just amazing. However the little cottage was really nice and felt like home. Just a few little dilemmas. The host was really nice and made sure we were comfortable. If she couldn’t fix a problem right away she will find a way for us to enjoy our vacation if anything. We will be coming back to Santa Cruz California again. Thank you!!
