A fabulous time in the cozy cottage by the sea.

Four of us journeyed from afar to meet in a cottage near the sea. We had a fabulous time at this surprisingly centrally located property. Our one week living on Pleasure Point allowed us to play in many places. We visted San Francisco to drive through, saw the Aqaurium at Monterey, picniced under the tall redwoods in San Lorenzo Valley, kayaked in Elkhorn Slough and shopped for books in Santa Cruz. The property was older but well maintained and up to date. We loved our front yard barbeque as much as our dinner on the houseboat at the Monterey Wharf. The kitchen was new, clean, and had the basics. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom a little larger than expected and the neighbors all quiet. The owner was prompt in replies and and accurately represented the property. All and all this was an excellent choice for our not quite annual get-to-gather. Lolly, Lindley, Ferd and Beth

The accomodations were very comfortable, clean, inviting and exceeded expectations. I spend too much time in hotels with my work, so staying in a warm cozy cottagge was perfect. The rooms were very spacious and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, although we opted to enjoy the area's restaurants. We like that the beach was an easy stroll from the cottage,. We'll definitely consider staying at the cottage the next time we/re in town.

We had a great visit in Santa Cruz and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The cottage was clean and very comfortable and the garden is so well maintained. Our favorite thing about staying at the Pleasure Point Cottage was how close we were to everything- we went to Capitola, the boardwalk and walked down the street to watch the surfers.

We had a great time staying at the Pleasure Point Cottage! Our kids loved the toys and books in their room; but, the port-crib was a little to small for our one and a half year old. (Had we known the size, we would have brought our own.) The neighbors were friendly but very quiet. The surfing was excellent. The children loved the Boardwalk. We hiked the Redwoods and visited the Monterey Aquarium . . . both were easy drives from the cottage. Our experience at the cottage was definitely a five and we would love to come back.
Owner response:There are a wealth of activities here for people of all ages to enjoy!

My wife and I fell in love with this place the minute we pulled up, right by the water and close to good food! The cottage was very clean and well appointed, and the front yard has a nice table/ umbrella with a bbq. Bushes kept the picnic area private from the street. We brought our dog and he had a great time playing in the waves for hours. Great place, we will be back again for sure!
Owner response:We have loved this place for over thrity years. There is something about the fresh air, mild climate, and beach that is very relaxing. . .

Just got home and unpacked from this great little cottage. The location is super. Just 2 blocks away is a great little market and coffee shop with good coffee and fabulous breakfast sandwiches, step across the street and you are at the Pleasure Point break. We sipped coffee and watched the surfers every morning. You can walk to Pleasure Point beach access which is totally dog friendly and a very short drive will get you the Moran Lake Beach and Twin Lakes beach for night time bonfires. Just 5 minutes from picturesque Capitola the little cottage has everything you need, even toys for the little ones. We will be there again!
Owner response:Thank you for your business. Providing a nice vacation/get-away for young families is one of our goals. We really enjoyed meeting you and your children. If you want to bring bikes, surf boards, or kayaks etc. let us know. We have a storage shed that you can use.

Judy and I want to thank you for the work you did on the place since our last visit. The front yard is beautiful. We are spending some good times with our daughter and son-in-law. I know you must hear this from alot of your guests, but if you are ever ready to sell this place we would like to throw our hat in the ring. We are moving up in a year or two for retirement. Don't know if we could afford it but would be interested. Once again thanks.
Owner response:The location, together with the improvements of this and the other houses in the neighborhood, make this property very desireable. We don't want to sell it, but we love to share it with others. We appreciate your interest, and your continuing business.

We were so happy to find a place that is baby/toddler friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. Having a workale high chair and porta-crib made our travel load much more manageable, and the layout of the cottage was very baby friendly. In all, it made our whole family much more relaxed and able to enjoy the vacation time. We enjoyed being so close to Pleasure Point and the lodcal laid- back atmoshpere. We went for walks multiple tiems eah day to watch all the ocean activity. We'll definiiely rent this cottaage againe next time we visit.
Owner response:Give yourself as much lead time as possible and reserve early. We'd love to have you back.
