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!

Great location
The place is in a great location. The dogs are very friendly, but do bark at times, and love to come in the house and say hi. The bathroom is off of the 2nd bedroom which made it difficult when little ones were napping or sleeping (especially cuz the door squeaked), and there is only a small shower which made it hard for cleaniing little ones. Overall good experience, just things to co insider with little kids. The owners are very friendly and let some of our friends come and visit for dinner also. Thanks!
Wouldn't want to stay more than a few days
The cottage was comfortable, however it lacked a few things such as hooks in the bathroom to hang towels. The light bulb in the bathroom went out and there were none to be found. Had to knock on the owners door to get one (he was very nice about it). TV didn't work right so again we had to knock on the owners door and again he was very nice. All in all it was an ok experience.
Great place to stay with a family of four (two adults and two boys ages 6 & 9)!
Hosts were very friendly and loved their two dogs! Capitola was an easy walk with a great beach and we also loved the private beach access near the cottage. All of the activities we did were within a 20 minute drive at most. We would definitely stay there again!
Cozy cottage in a great location!
Our family of 4 just stayed in the cottage and had a great time! The cottage had plenty of room for the 4 of us and was nice and tidy. The hosts were very friendly and we loved their 2 dogs who came to visit us often. It was such a nice bonus to have a little patio to use with a big garden surrounding the cottage. So peaceful!
The location was perfect for us. Just a short walk to the neighborhood beach, downtown Pleasant Point, and downtown Capitola. An easy drive down to Moss Landing to kayak and to Monterey Bay.
A lovely cottage with a wonderful host right on the beach
My kids and I had a wonderful stay at Hugh's cottage in Capitola. We could walk down to the beach and were walking distance to downtown Capitola. The cottage has a beautiful garden and a huge yard. My kids loved playing with Hugh's friendly and gentle dogs, Maya and Cooper. We had a great time.
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!
