This space is a beautiful retreat and exactly as described. It's tucked away in the Santa Cruz mountains with easy to access beach, town, and trails. We loved the hot tub, pool, and waking up to redwoods & Mr. P's ( the peacock) calls. We did have a communication issue related to dietary needs--I wasn't sure whether to post publicly, but feel that we addressed it individually first and did not receive a warm response. After having e-mailed ahead of time as requested and receiving confirmation of its receipt. When we quietly alerted Robin to the error, she blamed us and yelled at my friend that she couldn't be responsible for keeing track of everyone's needs (there were 3 sets of guests total) and that we should have written it down. When we reminded her that we e-mailed ahead of time, she continued to blame us for the mistake. She did prepare something different for me, but her reaction left something to be desired. For those who may have dietary needs--make sure that in addition to alerting ahead of time as requested, you also write it down on the paper at check-in (there is no actual place to do this, just write it in the margines) lest you experience this same level of disrespect when you sit down for breakfast. Other than our communications with her, the place is a stunning reprieve and met all other expectations.
