A perfect contrast to the touristy areas around the Santa Cruz beaches-a very cozy cabin in peaceful, beautiful surroundings. It has all the positives of a rustic off-the-grid experience, without the “roughing it” quality. For example, the bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of very hot water—not something I’d expect in a cabin in the woods. The size is perfect for a couple and the location is convenient to beaches. The hostess Kitty is the icing on the cake. She is warm and welcoming and goes above and beyond for her guests. You really do feel that her unique home is your home. Watching the hummingbirds flock to the feeders on her deck alone was a treat that made me want to come back.
