If you're looking for a secluded this is a fabulous place. Even though the driveway is steep, and maybe for city people it's bit scary, it is safe, and it is only 10 to 15 min. to hiking, shopping, and restaurants. The home is clean and well appointed. I loved the spiral staircase. What a fabulous center piece to the living area. The kitchen is large and big enough for two or three people to be prepping and cooking at the same time. There were 5 women and we had a great Santa Cruz mountain retreat. Would go back for sure.
