This house is amazing, and Michael is an attentive host, who is thoughtful and responds quickly. The house is large and comfortable and is surrounded by a huge deck, overlooking a ravine. Lots of birds come to the deck. The kitchen is brand new, capable of handling a large dinner. Beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds. Hot tub is ready for you at all times. Plenty of room for a large family. Convenietly located 30 min from Santa Cruz or Palo Alto, so we were able to zoom down for a walk on the beach. I highly recommend Michael's house!
