Lilian's house is beautiful and comfortable! We stayed there with our son and daughter in law and had plenty of room. The way the kitchen/living room opens to the patio is so inviting. We would have been happy to relax in the house the entire time, but made time for walks to the beach (very close!) and Santa Cruz sight seeing. Everything you need is close by. Communication with Lilian was always pleasant and she responded quickly. She is a great host!
