Opal Cliff Drive Cottage- with Private Beach Access

Overview
House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)
“Madeline’s Cottage” is our guest house located on Opal Cliff Drive in the best beach-side micro-climate in Santa Cruz County. We have the best beach weather and the quietest beach location in town!
The cottage is set well off the street just a few doors from gated “Privates” beach (you’ll have use of a gate key during your stay). From here you can hear the waves crash and the seagulls call, and walk or bike to many local attractions: A five minute walk one direction will take you to the dining and night life of charming Capitola Village, five minutes the other direction leads you to the world-famous surfing area of Pleasure Point. Madeline’s Cottage neighborhood offers access to entertainment for every interest.
Maybe you don’t feel like venturing out- or you have little ones and need to stay a bit closer to home? The cottage enjoys use and views of our award-winning garden and yard.
Maybe you want to get out of the neighborhood? The more urban cultural attractions of downtown Santa Cruz are 15 minutes away.
Maybe you don’t like that kind of culture? The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and its Giant Dipper roller coaster are also 15 minutes away.
Due to the floor plan of the cottage it is best suited to couples and small families. The kitchen/dining area is light, bright, and roomy, and separate from the family room where the TV is located. The Garden bedroom has a queen bed and large closet, and looks through a big sliding door onto the garden, while the “Kids” bedroom is smaller and has a (two twins) trundle bed. The bathroom is located off the “Kids” room, so everyone had better be very close friends or family. Overall floor space of the cottage is ample for 4.
Madeline’s Cottage is located behind our own personal home on our 1/3 acre lot, so you will not feel wedged in amongst a lot of other vacation rentals, and we take pride in making your stay as pleasant as possible. It has a fully equipped kitchen with all utensils and basic spices and condiments, but if you have special needs please let us know. Also, if you have dust allergies and let us know a bit in advance we can remove all soft-surface flooring from the cottage.
We’re looking forward to your visit!

Charming cottage with friendly hosts
Everything was clean and tidy and our hosts were very welcoming and so were there dogs. The mattress was a little hard for my taste and I would have loved a lounge chair on the patio, but we really enjoyed our stay!
The property was beautiful!
We had a great time! The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. This is a great location with easy access to all of Capitola and the surrounding area.
Great quiet location, beautiful garden and patio area
Nice little oasis within a few minutes of everything along the beaches. Private beach is a perfect little walk away. The dogs are fun and friendly companions to hang out with. Hugh and Mary Lou are great hosts!
Close enough to all of the attractions but secluded enough to have peace and quiet.
The property was very clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful
We had a very relaxing time
Cute. Clean. Comfortable.
The three of us had a good time in this surprisingly larger-than-I-expected cottage on Opal Dr. Parking was right in front of the cottage. A short walk to Capitola's restaurants and attractions. Cottage was clean, comfortable and quiet. Simple but adequate for our purposes. I would definitely come back!
An amazing Cottage to stay at!
This was a girls week end for the Capitola Art and Wine Festival and this cottage was just perfect. It easily sleeps 4 people and the location was the best. The cottage was so comfortable and the patio was just awesome. We spent a lot of time out there relaxing. The dogs, Miya & Cooper came to visit us all the time. They were so much fun. Mary Lou and Hugh have thought of everything in this cottage. It was so clean and well stocked. We walked back and forth to Capitola the whole time we were there. Thank you again and we will be back.
