This place suited my needs perfectly for my overnight business trip to Santa Cruz. I was looking for something off the beaten path in a serene setting, and boy did I get it. Clean, comfortable and surrounded by tranquil forest, all while being less than 10 minutes from Aptos Village and only 20 minutes from Santa Cruz. The breakfast was a nice touch, and when I came back in the evening, Delia had the fire pit all set to go in the private patio area. She was great with restaurant recommendations, too. Though I didn't have time to partake, the property is within a short hike of a state park with giant coastal redwoods. Highly recommended for solo travel or an active couples' retreat.
