We had an amazing time in Boulder Creek thanks to David!
First, the house is fabulous! The huge deck meant ample outside play space for the kids and hangout space for my wife and I. The kitchen is well equipped with the basics you need to make dinner for 4 or more. The bedrooms downstairs are clean and stay cool during the summer which was a blessing since we were there during a heatwave.
My wife and I were able to soak in the tub outdoors after the kids went asleep and it was magical.
There are great grocery stores, and restaurants right in Boulder Creek. Both the sushi place and pizza joint were tasty. The location also enabled us to take the kids to Roaring Camp, Davenport Landing Beach, and Henry Cowell in about 30 minutes.
If you have small kids like us (a toddler and a preschooler) we'd suggest bringing a small gate to keep the kids upstairs, a a booster seat for eating time, and some outlet covers for quick toddler proofing.
