Perfect getaway

Needed a place to stay for a show in Felton. This property was perfect. 20 minutes from the venue by car and five minutes to the ocean on foot. Everything as described. Intimate outdoor environment and cozy indoors.Had a lovely time.

Good beach access

This property was in a nice location. We were able to walk to two beaches, some local restaurants, and the Sunday farmers market.

Fun Stay

The cottage is cute, comfortable and had everything we needed. Our only suggestion is to invest in some small area fans for warm days since there is no AC.

So relaxing!

This cottage is super cute and steps away from the beaches, coffee and food. I would definitely stay there again! Check in and check out were super easy which added to the relaxation we were seeking on this vacation. Instructions for everything were super clear. I didn’t have to bother Jeannie at all.

Cute little cottage

We stayed here for Fourth of July weekend and had a wonderful time. Very close walk to the beach and a quick drive to the mystery spot and boardwalk. We loved the house just not the ants in the kitchen. Other than that it was perfect and we’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful beach cottage

We had a perfect little vacation at Jeanne’s beach cottage. It was everything g we hoped it would be. Quiet, clean, charming, very close to the beach. Jeanne was responsive and kind and we are grateful for her hospitality.

A Sweet Sister Time

We loved this little cottage for our sister retreat, quaint and cozy just as expected. The accommodations met our expectations as was advertised. Only thing we were left wanting was a cleaner landscape outside to sit and enjoy at night, seemed the yard keeper hadn't made it out in a bit. So grateful to found this place though!

Great location

Cute cottage a block from a quiet beach. Coffee shop around the corner. Beds could be a bit more comfy. Owner great to deal with and responded very quickly. Better than a hotel room.

Beautiful sanctuary

This property is everything we needed. Quiet place to rest. Sunny cove and the ocean is right in the backyard and you can hear the waves come in at night. So soothing 😌 Jeanne was a clear communicator and helpful during our stay. She was super responsive on any questions too. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your special space ✨️

Sharing Gates

We enjoyed our stay. House was clean and fresh. Cobblestones in courtyard were a little hazardous for us seniors!

Beautiful location

We had a great time being so close to the beach. The only thing I would ask is if the owner update the bathroom a little bit. It appears dirty because of the old tub. Other than that great time!

Cottage By The Sea

The location is great. We loved being able to walk to the cove and nearby conveniences. The house smelled mildewy and some of the dishes were dirty upon arrival. Overall, we had a great stay but I kept thinking an update of nicer furnishings and fresh paint would make it shine. Kent and Janet Curtiss

Santa Cruz Cousin Invasion!

This fabulous beach cottage was perfect for our needs. We had 4 adults and we were very comfortable. The location is wonderful. It is a short minute to the cove, tide pools and the beach. The Wharf to Wharf race came by on Sunday and it was fun watching and cheering the runners on. Communication with the owner was a breeze. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook a big meal or pack a picnic. Five stars for sure!

Passing through

Nice property. Slightly awkward bedrooms. Bathroom accessed through a bedroom. Only heaters are space heaters which worked okay. Front porch/bedroom is on a somewhat busy road. A little loud in that bedroom during busy traffic times. Good access to the ocean and beach.

Jewel of a property

Jeanne was very responsive and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, including the sofa bed!! Wi-fi was excellent. Thursday night the road was a bit noisy (my daughter said she kept waking up due to loud people walking by talking and laughing) as the front room is about a car length from the road. I was in the living room and slept quite well. Overall it was perfect for a few nights at the beach and work during the day. Will be recommending to others.

This is the perfect little cottage for a getaway!

We stayed here for Labor Day weekend. The cottage is perfect for a couple. It is very clean inside and has what you need to be comfortable. The kitchen is nice and very clean. There are plenty of extra linens too. The location is perfect as it is a three minute walk to a very easy beach access. We took the one with stairs. If you need easier beach access for mobility issues, twin lakes beach is just a mile away and has flat entry areas. You are given a parking spot just in front of the cottage so parking is not an issue. It is also just a short walk to Starbucks. We plan to return soon.

Nice place, but one of the beds is fragile / almost broken; gets hot in summer

This place is pretty nice and cute, and has a great location. It's a bit tight on space, but we knew that going in. My main complaint is that the fold-out couch in the living room is very fragile. It has instructions about how to pull it out gently, etc., which we followed; but no matter how careful we were, the fold-out part always collapsed after a few minutes of light usage. So we told our son to sleep on the other half of it, which is the main couch part. The place also gets pretty hot in the summer, and has limited ventilation. We went in August and the outdoor weather was quite pleasant, but the house heated up during the day anyway. You can open the windows, but that doesn't make the cool air come inside. There's a unit of some kind in the main room, but it has no labeling or instructions, and seems to only do heating. It's lucky that I brought a small fan with us from home, but even still the place was pretty hot by the late afternoon / evening.

Needs some TLC

I was really hoping to love this place, but I was overall disappointed. I spent the weekend here with my sister and our young children and it was simply not clean. There was mold in the shower, the carpet was stained, walls were dirty and worst of all there was a used bandaid stuck to the comforter. The location is good however the street is very busy and traffic was loud through the night due to lack of insulation. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, dinner and coffee nearby. The communication with Jeannie was great and prompt, she was very helpful and accommodating. The house just needs a lot of work and more upkeep. I feel like we greatly over paid for what we got. Paying $150 for cleaning had me scratching my head…
