REGARDING COVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: As any of our repeat guests will confirm, we have always taken cleaning of our cottages between guests to a rather "extreme" level! The three main cleaning agents that we use for hard surfaces are 70% Isopropyl alcohol, 8% Hydrogen Peroxide and chlorine bleach, and for soft surfaces, 90% Isopropyl alcohol and steam cleaning. All bedding, (not just sheets) including blankets and comforter covers, protective pillow case covers, are changed between guests. Pillows and comforters are tumbled in the dryer on high heat for a minimum of 15 minutes before changing pillow case covers and putting on clean pillow cases and sheets. All soft surfaces of headboard and bed frame are sprayed with alcohol and allowed to dry. IF YOU ARE A HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUAL, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU DISCUSS YOUR TRAVEL PLANS WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN PRIOR TO BOOKING! Although we have created a sterile environment inside, we cannot control the environment outside your door. Needless to say, there are many other factors to take into consideration when traveling during a pandemic. Only you and your doctor can assess your situation and make an informed decision after evaluating whatever factors are involved. We are absolutely happy to answer ANY questions you may have about the Cottage or your stay prior to booking!

Perfect for a couple, we sat outside every evening under Elise’s fairy lights. The koi fish were mesmerizing, and while we were there the butterflies bloomed and filled the garden. It is in a good location, walking distance to Whole Foods for meals during social distancing, easy drive to the freeway, and a good walking neighborhood including a park and trail.

This one is incredibly unique because it combines excellent living and sleeping spaces with a gorgeous front patio and a private side garden complete with lush plants and a koi stream.

My sister and I planned a five-day beach getaway and this charming cottage was ideal for our minimal needs. Its location in CDM is perfect for a quick drive to the beach (we chose to spend our days at Crystal Cove SB ) or walkable to CDM beaches, if you don’t have a lot of gear. Beach chairs and towels are provided. Parking in front of cottage is easy and the neighborhood is peaceful, safe and a pleasant short walk to all stores, shops, restaurants. It is a good base to explore OC. Alys was over the top in accommodating us and we appreciated all she provided for us or would provide for us, if we needed anything. Communication was excellent throughout our stay. Cottage is tastefully decorated, kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with goodies upon arrival, heavenly CalKing Tempurpedic bed super comfortable and lots of fluffy, clean white towels and bath amenities provided. Wifi excellent, Direct TV with streaming stations to watch an evening movie. We did not use the pull out sofa for sleeping so cannot comment on that though we would say that this cottage is best suited for two people. What makes this cottage special is all the creative work Alys has put into her nature garden. There is a semiprivate side garden with all types of exotic and tropical plants, a Koi pond and a soothing water feature. It created a serene extension of the cottage. The front of the cottage has a great sitting patio also nicely landscaped. Butterflies everywhere! We would highly recommend this rental if you are looking for a quick getaway, like to spend your day at the beach or exploring, prefer not to cook ( great local food shops to pick up prepared meals ) and simply need a peaceful retreat and a great night’s sleep at the end of your day. Excellent value compared to a hotel suite (which was our original plan). We would definitely return. ##### Patricia R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn T.

The owner's hospitality was fantastic - so many nice little touches. Once she knew what we liked to do, she gave us great ideas on places to explore, eat, etc. Hope to return to this gem!! ##### Shawn T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James T.

The landscaping is lush, unique, exotic - I have never seen so many butterflies in one place! There was always abundant street parking in front. The space is extremely clean, tidy, and fully stocked. Alys was the most responsive host we have ever had and we have stayed in a number of other Vrbo properties. We will definitely be back... ##### James T. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles International](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Pelican Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Newport-Beach-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Pelican-Hill.h2059007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
