When we are at Jay’s place, we feel like we’re in heaven. The setting is truly gorgeous. There is so much to do right on site that we didn’t go anywhere else (though when we’ve stayed there in the past, we’ve gone to Soquel, Aptos, and Santa Cruz). There is a labyrinth to walk, a garden to stroll through, a Jacuzzi on the deck, and so many amazing things inside of the cottage to look at. We love the artwork and the books, and could stare up at the redwoods through the skylights all day. Even better, you can stare up at the redwoods while in the Jacuzzi. Jay is great to talk with and a very responsive host. An added bonus for us are the two very cool cats. We hope to return many times in the future.
