Scarlett is magnificent. She made us feel at home from the start, and considering I personally enjoy to cook my own food, I really appreciated the freedom in her kitchen. The bedroom is wonderful, the bed is really comfortable, and the hot tub surrounded by redwoods outside is not something you'll get to experience every day. What a sight.

That aside, the area is quiet with an easy hike nearby that allows you to see all the way to the Santa Cruz beach. Exactly what we were looking for. We pretty much stacked up our Saturday with things to do that were recommended by Scarlett and her partner Walter. Great people.
