Max and Lindsay are super nice, charming and attentive hosts and we really enjoyed their company along with their dog and child (they all live part-time in the adjacent section of the home). This rental unit feels very complete and separate, so when visiting you still have total privacy and freedom.
The unit is beautiful and functional, and the whole property is stunning, a hillside filled with majestic trees and a large inviting deck area. If you bring a dog, walking the hilly, wooded neighborhood is a pleasure too, day or night. There's parking at the entrance to the property, and you can drive down to the heart of Santa Cruz in ten minutes. We stayed in this paradise for almost a week, and were very sad to leave so soon!!!
