We had a fantastic time exploring Felton, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco from our “home base” on Buckeye Drive. Check-in and -out were very easy, and Johana was quick to respond to our questions. The house was comfortable and spacious enough for two parents and two teenagers. We loved the privacy of the lot, and the abundance of wildlife there: fox, deer, lizards, turkeys, and lots of bird activity in the redwoods. (Note that the road up to the lot is very rough; just be prepared to drive slowly.) Felton itself is a sweet little town with all the amenities we needed, including restaurants, boutiques, a grocery store, a great coffee shop, and an awesome donut shop. The house is minutes from Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, where we spent many hours hiking the trails and wading in the San Lorenzo river. In 20 minutes or so we could get to Santa Cruz or continue along the coast to explore the amazing cliffs and beaches.
