What a peaceful place to relax! Peter and Marie are excellent hosts and have thought of every detail to make guests feel at home. The room is wonderful with flowers on the desk, fruit & oatmeal for breakfast as well as water and teas, a convenient mini-fridge & microwave, a comfortable bed with plenty of extra blankets & pillows if needed, and even a space heater for those who prefer a warmer temperature. In the shared bathroom, they provide clearly marked items & space for the two different guest rooms. The common space is delightful with beautiful decorations and a wood-burning fireplace to take off the morning chill! A delightful 5-minute walk away is Moran Lake Beach or Sandy Cove Beach, south of the crowds of Santa Cruz and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the ocean. Coffee shops and restaurants are also within a quick walk. The highlight of my stay was the amazing garden and hot tub. A soak at dusk is just the thing for a relaxing finish to a busy day! Their description of the property is spot-on and their communication is excellent. Especially inspiring is the love Peter and Marie share for their guests and each other - watching them walk down their driveway arm-in-arm to the mailbox was a beautiful sight! I would definitely stay at their Jasmine Oasis again.
