Cathy and Ray's home was perfect for our short trip! The room was clean, private, and had all of the necessities. The extra pillows/blankets, Keurig, snacks, and parks pass were such thoughtful touches. Self check-in was very straightforward, and Cathy shared detailed instructions beforehand. Driving through the neighborhood gets a bit more difficult after dark, but they have a bright automatic porch light that's helpful when parking and walking to/from the car. Very responsive and warm hosts. I would recommend this place to anyone planning to explore Santa Cruz, Carmel/Monterey, or Big Sur.
