The house is located in a charming, forested area that is very nice with great access to Santa Cruz and other costal towns as well as the state park down the street. It's a lot of room for the money with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths plus a large family room area. The deck was our favorite. The stairs could be treacherous for anyone with physical issues but it's part of the charm if you're sure footed. There were a few items in need of repair but they were still functional. Overall we enjoyed our stay and Paul was helpful and responsive.
