Nice Getaway
Property was just as described. Communication with the property manager was top notch. He was very responsive. When I experienced some difficulties with the TV I was able to communicate using the VRBO app. I could not work the TV using the printed instructions posted nearby. I couldn't turn on the TV with the remote, so I assumed its batteries were dead. The manager had Doordash deliver fresh batteries to the doorstep within 10 minutes. However, that wasn't the problem. The remote control apparently only controlled the Roku stick that was plugged into the TV. I was never able to use the power button on the remote to turn on the TV. Instead, I had to manually power on the TV by pressing the switch located under the red light on the unit. Then I would have to select the proper input channel for the attached sound bar otherwise there would be no audio. Again, I had to look for a button to press and figure out what the correct input channel was. At that point I was able to register my accounts and was able to stream my shows. I had to push the button on the TV to turn it off, too. This isn't a complaint. I'm merely including this as part of my review as reference so other guests can work the TV. Otherwise, everything else went smoothly and I would absolutely return for repeat stays.

Clean and homey
Our stay at this house was excellent. It was spotless! And the remodel was beautifully done. It really felt like home. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and basic essentials; the instructions that were around were easy to follow; the patio was a great evening hangout; easy to get to the downtown Capitola; and even the beds were comfy with lots of pillows! The house was a little warm in the evenings but with the fans provided and the windows open it cooled down quickly. This cute house is a great stay!

Spring break at the coastal cottage
We loved our stay at the cottage! The house was immaculate and comfortable. I loved the thoughtful details like the record player with vintage albums (my daughter enjoyed playing them!), the shampoo and body wash in the shower, and the Nespresso pods. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The location is very convenient for grocery shopping (nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) and you're two minutes away from Pizza My Heart. Brayton was very responsive and helpful with any questions, and he provided a helpful link with details about the house and the area. Awesome stay and would 100% recommend!

Spring break at the coastal cottage
Brayton’s cottage was immaculate and well furnished. We had everything we needed! Comfortable beds, a nicely stocked kitchen, and TV with streaming services (you sign in to your own accounts) made the cottage a great place to relax after exploring Capitola and Santa Cruz. The location is very convenient; there are grocery stores and a little mall if you need anything. Communication with the host was fantastic and we’d definitely love to return!

Cottage perfection
My sister and I fell in love with this cottage! Brayton was quick to respond from the get go. Cottage was beautiful, private, quiet, clean, light and you wanted for nothing. Close to wonderful coffee, boardwalk, grocery stores, Capitola and just 45 min to Monterey and Carmel. Beds and linens wonderful, comfortable blankets and all that you need to make a meal. Nespresso each morning in the front patio was lovely. I will definitely be back!!

The Coastal Cottage was a wonderful property. I stayed here with my sister and 5-month old son for a week while in town for work. Check in was thorough and super easy! The home was extremely inviting, well maintained and had nice finishes throughout. We felt extremely comfortable and would absolutely stay here again!
