I was pleasantly surprised on my visit to the watercolor cottage. I felt the attention to detail was more than I expected, the decor was like a blast from the past /combined with chic bohemian artist.I loved it! Denise and Glen make the cottage feel like home with all of extras and the total cleanliness of the property. I also must mention the lovely garden!! What a gem ....most relaxing few days I had ...We will stay longer next time....Bette R.

Bliss

Shaunessy Seattle, WA
Review Submitted: April 27, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I had a perfect stay at this delightful cottage. Everything was wonderful- the adorable house, the drawer full of dvds, the ipod docking station, the yellow tea kettle, the patio with its chimnea. . . I would go back in a heartbeat! It was hard to leave.

Stay here- you won't be disappointed!

EVERYTHING the other guests have said here is
true, yet they would have to write a book of poetry
or paint a painting to truly begin to express the
indescribable mixture of inspiration and calm one
experiences when spending time in and around this
cottage.

I aim to return to this magical place as often as my
yearly schedule permits- no matter what season-
because the renewal I experience during and after
my stay there is worth way more than the price of
admission.

Sweet Dream Cottage

RRoss Culver City, CA
Review Submitted: July 28, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My boyfriend and I along with my 10 yr old son stayed in this lovely cottage for three nights in July and it was sweetly perfect in every way. The owners have anticipated every need (down to the kitchen utensils and his and her bathrobes) and created an artistic haven of calm and beauty with delicate touches in every corner. There is plenty of privacy in the large patio surrounded by lush greenery. The location is great--walking distance to the Santa Cruz beach cliffs and the action down on the boardwalk. We will surely recommend the Water Colour Cottage to all our friends and hope to return soon.
