Laura and Sage’s place is a very clean, very comfortable, quiet place to relax while you stay in Santa Cruz and explore the surrounding areas. Tucked away in a very safe, quiet side neighborhood only a couple blocks from Cliff Drive, the house is actually set right on a creek/walking path that makes this place feel extra serene. While you can hear car noise in the distance from the busy streets just north, once inside the two story home it is perfectly quiet. The hosts stock their home with non-toxic cleaners and soaps, but the linens may be a bit over powering in smell if you are sensitive (eventhough they use naturally scented detergent). Checking in was very easy, the hosts super responsive and accommodating. They have a wonderful outdoor shower, jacuzzi, sauna, and redwood trees to enjoy, and you can definitely hear the ocean with on shore breeze! Walking distance to 11th Hour coffee (THE best Coffee in SC!) and New Leaf Market, as well as a few dining options. Definitely worth the stay!
