Pictures were not representative of the condition of the property. Perhaps those pictures were taken in another one of the other two units on the property or are from a few years ago. The place badly needs a facelift... even as little as a paint job would go a long way. The poor lighting in every room made the situation even worse, adding to the dingy feeling of the cottage. The kitchen and the bathroom were extremely dated; pieces of the interior of the fridge were literally cracking or falling off; the flooring in the kitchen and bathroom needs to be replaced; the edges of the furniture, the mirror, the shower door, etc are all worn looking. Not the nicest street in the area, either. Everything just felt a bit dated, depressing or disappointing from the moment we pulled into Santa Cruz from the highway. Fortunately we spent very little time in the cottage over the 3 night stay (we were there barely more than 48 hours total from checkin to checkout, and were gone pretty much all day both days). We would not use the kitchen... literally did not eat a meal at the cottage during our 3 night stay; at least the bathroom and the sheets felt clean. Owner needs to put in a little effort. (p.s. I'm a landlord myself)
