"Our stay at Fox Kit Cottage in March was exceptional! The house was clean, well equipped and perfect for a girls’ weekend getaway. Loved sitting on the deck overlooking the surf looking for migrating whales. The hot tub was a great way to relax after spending the day in Wine Country or hiking at Armstrong Woods. Our host, Beth, was very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. Loved the beach access from Duncan’s Landing and the landscaping around the house was amazing! I would definitely recommend Fox Kit Cottage without any reservations and only wish I lived closer so I could come back again soon!!"

"Very quiet place, great coffee at the cafe. Staff was excellent. Definitely recommend for adults. Wonderful place to just decompress and relax. Kayaking is good and many hiking trails near by. "

"Fantastic deck"

"We rent about 4 beach houses a year since we sold our Santa Cruz oceanfront house after 25 years. We now travel up & down the coast renting super view beach houses & really enjoyed this special house only a two hour drive. We rented it again later in the year we enjoyed it so much. Great views, clean, easy parking, level entry & one level easy for my mobility issues. Nice private closed in courtyard too. Owners obviously take pride in the property."

"Great location with beautiful clean home"

"The host communication was 5 star for sure. The house and all its top notch amenities made for a very comfortable stay. "

"This was our fourth (maybe fifth!) stay at Surfscape, and we will definitely be back again, hopefully soon . The house sits right above the ocean, where the powerful waves crash against the rocks and create the most soothing, unforgettable sound. The fresh salty air, the ever-changing ocean views, and the mesmerizing sunsets can be enjoyed from inside the house or out on the deck…just magical. Fun to go down to the tide pools…practically your own private beach. Never disappoints, always gets better with Pierre’s extra touches! The stars at night are not to be missed. With little light from other sources the stars seem to be right on top of the house. Almost 200 degrees of view you can easily see the shooting star once in a while. "

"Best amenity was the view from both inside and outside. So nice with clear walls to see the ocean and be protected from the wind. Cozy blankets in the living room were appreciated too!Enjoyed the stairs to the beach below and seeing so many starfish when the tide was out!!"

"Beautiful, well stocked with all amenities you’ll need. Very comfortable. Amazing views from both levels of the home. Definitely will schedule again. Communications with the host was easy and quick to respond with any questions we had. "
