We were in town for a surprise birthday party and enjoyed staying at this centrally located, very clean property with lots of amenities. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Clean, cozy, in perfect location

The cottage is a studio, but arranged with plenty of space to spread out. The full-size kitchen, washer, and dryer were real pluses. The hostess was very responsive to my questions and requests, including an early check-in. It's located minutes from the historic shopping/dining district so walking is easy. It's also close to a grocery shopping center with a great frozen yogurt place. I would happily stay here again.

The cottage was perfect for the rainy days because it was cozy and had all I needed. Then the sunny days were awesome in the garden and in the neighborhood with everything in walking distance. Perfect!

Lovely cottage

The cottage was small and adorable, and very easy to access. The problem was it was double booked, and we were asked to leave a day early. The owner was very accommodating and my understanding is you will be giving us a full refund.

I hope that your stay was comfy other than the leaving early. So sorry for that issue. I have never that that problem before. When I contacted VRBO they addressed it right away, but it left me with the dilemma of having to ask this guest to leave earlier since I could not reach the next guest. The full refund has been sent. VRBO said there was a calendar sync issue.

Cozy cottage

Thank you Dina for a wonderful stay. Dina communicated with us throughout the process and made our stay very easy. She goes out of her way, through communication and all the extras in the cottage , to make your stay easy and stress free. We will be staying here again if ever in the area again. Benicia is a adorable little town close to a lot of the sites we planned to visit on our stay. I highly recommend this place and this town. Thanks again Dina. Chris

Cozy cottage in Benicia

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this quaint, cozy studio, perfect for two, with French Provincial charm and a well-equipped modern kitchen. The bed and furniture were comfortable and supplies were plentiful. The shower had soap, shampoo, and conditioner, and paper products were generously provided. I can't think of a thing we needed that wasn't supplied.The gardens are beautiful and the location was perfect. We could walk to the main street of Benicia to enjoy the town, restaurants, and the water views, as well as the Safeway for some groceries. Dina was a gracious, generous, and responsive host.

A succulent Shangra-La

This secluded cottage is a tiny oasis in Benicia. Certainly more than big enough for a couple and equipped with full size appliances from Samsung, wifi and an incredibly comfortable bed, this cottage is a wonderful place to stay. The host has equipped this place with all manner of supplies that would serve if you wanted to stay for a month. She has thought of nearly everything you might want to use while vacationing. About the bed. I am 6'3" and rarely find beds in VRBO stays which are comfortable. This one takes a page from Marriot with its incredibly soft, supportive and cozy beds. I slept as well as in my own bed. She has installed a mini-split for AC as well. Very quiet. The host is an avid gardener and the cottage has so many succulents and flowering plants everywhere and a small fountain. There are three secluded seating areas outside all of which provide shade and breezes. When I used Shangra-La in my title, I meant it. You'll agree once you stay here.

Thank you so much for your kind words I am so happy to hear that you were comfortable. I really pay attention to details and address everyone staying there as if I was a guest myself. And yes, sometimes there are people that stay for a month or more so I’d like to have them be comfortable and well equipped. You guys are welcome back anytime.

Lovely getaway cottage!

Loved the interior design, amenities, and location of this cozy cottage. Really well thought out--coffee and tea, lots of spices (for cooking), every cooking item you could want, quality dish ware, and even things like saran wrap and ziploc bags for use. Top notch fridge--with ice maker!--and she thinks of things like keeping pitchers in the freezer if you want to make adult beverages. Great stove and oven (made scones one morning). Great air conditioner/heater too--look for the white remote on the coffee table to begin using. Full size washer/dryer/up-to-date dishwasher, nice-sized microwave--you can really settle in and relax! Well-lit and plenty of plugs; strong wifi signal. Attention to detail is evident throughout the cottage, inside and out. And the local area is terrific--close grocery store, lovely restaurants and shops, beautiful pier to enjoy the sea life and listen to the waves. Just a terrific getaway!

We will come again

Perfect location for us in lovely Benicia, small but bigger than a hotel room. The spacious outdoor patio was a big plus as we had perfect weather and a chance to invite a friend and a few family members for drinks and snacks. We may well stay here again as we visit often to see grandkids.

Cozy cottage in a beautiful garden

We greatly enjoyed our month stay at Dina’s cottage. She was very responsive to our every need. At the end of the day, we loved having a glass of wine on a beautiful, private patio filled with flowering plants, after cooking dinner in the well appointed kitchen. Bed and linens were comfortable. Internet access was great. Grocery store and Starbucks are 2 blocks away. A beautiful waterfront, and lots of cute shops and good restaurants are just a short walk away. This property offers all you could possibly want and much more. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, Dina. We hope to be back soon.

Cottage

Could have used air conditioner as. 3 nights were very warm. Ants in bed Thursday and Friday nights. Only a few on Thursday but a dead small insect under the top sheet at the foot of the bed was the source of about 40 ants. After killing them no more seen. We thoroughly enjoy The intimacy of the little cottage. Thanks so much

A Quiet and Peaceful Place to Stay

The unit is very well equipped. The kitchen was a joy to cook in as they had provided every kind of seasoning, sauce, and condiment.. Appliances were high end. The cable streaming was excellent. Internet was excellent. The outdoor patio was spacious and comfortable to sit in, though very hot in the afternoons. The bathroom provided a comfortable place to bathe. The unit is not airconditioned and so there were days that were quite warm inside. They did provide fans and that helped. My main complaint would be the mattress. It was a spongy mat over a mattress. It was not very comfortable. And should be updated. Dina, my host, was extremely friendly and helpful.

I wish you had let me know these things. When I contact my guests a day after arrival, that's what I want to hear, how to make your stay more comfy. Most people like the memory foam mattress toppers, it's an extra added fetcher. I will figure out a way to accommodate. There is an air-conditioned at the cottage with a remote control. Maybe the temperature needed to be dropped.
