Surprise amenities, privacy, peace and quiet and local tips galore! That’s what you can come to expect when staying at Daisy’s retreat. First and foremost, we were notified when the house was ready. We had a arrived a bit early to town and had a car sick kid. So knowing we could go straight to the house was huge. The retreat is to the right of the main house, tucked nicely behind the driveway. The courtyard was the perfect size, our 5-year old easily did laps on her little bike. We were greeted by Nikki and Daisy (beautiful doggie). They briefly gave us the lay of the land and left us to relax.
The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need and then some. Yummy bakery treats, meats, cheeses, fresh OJ and more awaited us upon arrival. We weren’t short of anything from glasses, coffee, towels, technology/entertainment, snacks or hot water! Seriously, they thought of everything. The house was tastefully decorated to remind you how close to the beach you’re staying. Nikki made sure to give us tons of tips on what to do while it rained and local favs. We did a lot of what was suggested and nothing was a disappointment. The bonus came today when we used the 2 beach cruisers they have available to take a family bike ride after breakfast.
Clearly, we loved our stay and we plan to come back with our dog next time! So much to do, see and eat in Santa Cruz. Thank you Nikki and Daisy!!
