"Quiet & lovely"

"This was a perfect little spot for a family of four. We explored Santa Cruz and the beaches and also all of the surrounding areas. It’s a no frills and comfortable, clean spot to post up. As mentioned, a little road noise but in passing all of the local hotels, I feel like it would be similar wherever you stay!"

"A beautiful property in a quiet lovely hillside neighborhood. We were surrounded by mature trees and vibrant spring blooms. The property was built in a very thoughtful and artful way that made the experience extra special. It truly was a little piece of heaven. We hope to come back someday."

"Enjoyed a rainy weekend of writing in a comfortable space with all the needed amenities."

"Perfect stay for our roadtrip travels home!"

"Great stay for a solo traveler. Cute garden setting with incredibly cute dogs as welcome committee. Friendly hosts."

"We really enjoyed our stay thanks to Tily being an amazing host."

"It was a pleasure to stay here, thanks Swami! The furnishings are quite sparse but all nicely comfortable and functional, with very good facilities all around in the bathroom and the well-equipped kitchen. It is relaxingly quiet and private, and in a pleasant area. Great location for a visiting academic (as I am), with an easy walk to the university campus, lots of restaurants of all kinds nearby, and BART station. I’d be very happy to stay again on future visits!"

"Comfortable stay in an idyllic location with the the best of Berkeley nearby."

"It was a great property, set up perfectly for those with a small animal and the host was great with their accommodation. Would recommend staying, would definitely stay again!"

"Wonderful property and location. Clean, lovely, easy check-in/out, accurately described. The host and overall experience were fantastic, and I would definitely recommend. I hope to be back again sometime! :)"

"Great location and easy checking and out process."

"We had a wonderful stay at Tracy's cottage while visiting my parents in Palo Alto. Our family of 4 (with 2 small kids) was very comfortable in the cottage. Cleanliness was impeccable. Thank you!"

"This was my second stay at the cottage and it was as nice as I remembered it."

"Highly recommend this residence it was a great stay!"

"My husband, daughter, son, daughter-in-law and their 2 children stayed 1 night on a quick trip to the Bay Area to visit friends. It was difficult to find, defiantly use the link in the listing. The home was clean and has 1 parking place, and was in a great location for our needs. Unfortunately the listing said sleeps 7, and it has a sofa bed and a twin bed in the living room. There was no twin bed, and no bedding for the sofa bed. We had 5 adults and 2 children in our group and there were not...

"1. Trouble accessing lockbox. Owner was available to talk me thru it. More instructions needed, as not all lockboxes work the same way 2. No heat! With 40’s temp, I was very cold and the heater did not work. After another phone call to the owner, discovered fuse for unit had been turned off. 3. Coffee makers but no coffee!"

"soda machines dont work or are sold out"

"First let me say, we had a great time at this property. This is a small house in the city. Great location. We could walk to restaurants and play pickleball at the playground next store. It had three good size bedrooms, with super comfy beds. Only one real bathroom and shower, as the second bathroom was tiny and only had a toilet. But we managed to make it work, once we figured out how to get the hot water. I finally broke down on the second day and messaged the host, and he responded very...

"Everything was great with the property. I would have loved to watch tv before bed but all wax well. "
