michael is such a nice guy. my wife and i made a mistake and stayed in one of the less expensive villas on the property than we had paid for (and even so it was still awesome). michael recognized our error and was cool enough to offer us a credit on our next stay (totally unsolicited kindness!). The decor overall is beach/surfer/chill and we would totally stay in the future. a great spot from which to hop down to the beautiful beach or hang out in santa cruz (we did both).
