I had reserved this place about 6 months out, my second AirBnB experience ever and it couldn't have gone any smoother. Starting from the warm welcoming messages on AirBnB I knew I was going to love staying here, and I sure did. The timely responses made me feel certain that I could rely on Ray and Cathy for great recommendations, and boy were they great. I got along well with their dog Oscar too. Staying here really made my trip easy to execute and an even better experience with such great hosts and recommendations, they for sure have raised the bar for my expectations of hospitality by other AirBnB hosts. I will definitely recommend anyone to come stay at Ray and Cathy's for their visit to the Santa Cruz area, and of course would love to come back and stay here myself as well.
