I stayed at Caroline's lovely historic home for a month this Summer & enjoyed every moment! First off, the location cannot be more perfect -- having grown up in Santa Cruz, the UCSC campus & West Cliff were some of my favorite places to visit. These places are easily accessed by foot, bike or car - with the beautiful Pogonip hiking trail an easy walk from the front door (highly recommended)! It was also easy to access the HWY - 10 mins. N to Scottsvalley & 10 mins. S to Aptos/Capitola & 15 mins. to Bonny Doon wineries. The home itself is surrounded by lush gardens blooming with an abundance of flowering plants & fruit trees & secret places to read & soak in the sunshine. There is a separate entrance to your quarters which are accessed via a flight of stairs. Nearly the entire top floor is your space - decorated in sunny yellows, simple antiques, lovely pictures & a very comfy leather couch, the bedroom is very spacious, comfortable & has gorgeous views overlooking the bay, gardens & Santa Cruz. The incredibly spacious bathroom is directly accessed outside the bedroom & faces the back of the house/gardens/hills. It is decorated in cool blues, tile, lovely photos, plants & has plenty of light from the windows. The large tiled shower is positioned right by a back door to the roof of the house & I loved showering with the door open to let in air & sun & bird calls! My husband joined me the last 2 weeks & the place has plenty of room for 2 - he used the trundle bed & thought it was very comfy although we kept it down on the floor since the hardware squeaks a bit (Caroline is aware of this & is going to work on fixing). No complaints though!!! Caroline herself is a gem. She is a truly unique, warm & intelligent soul who not only welcomed us into her home but also into her life & we are so grateful to have made a new friend! She both respected our privacy & made herself available anytime we needed something. She also allowed us to use her sunny kitchen when needed & I enjoyed quiet mornings to myself sipping coffee & reading in her lovely sitting room. Lastly, her kitty Claude is one of the sweetest, smartest & funniest kitties I've ever met (he was as good a host!:) All in all, we would recommend Caroline & her home to anyone visiting the area & hope to be back again soon.
