This cabin is in a convenient area close to the highway. It is far enough from Santa Cruz to be nice and quiet and close enough to all that the area has to offer (from DownTown Santa Cruz, Beach Boardwalk, or Capitola) within a short car ride. The place was very clean and had all you needed for a nice and comfy stay. I can't stress on how close this cabin is to every thing good in this area! We went to a farmers Market in Santa Cruz, got Ice Cream at Marianne's, and them to a Winery off of Highway 9, all within minutes of each location. If you want to just chill and relax, the living room is very comfy but if you like the outdoors, there are lots of hiking trails everywhere. I am definitely coming back.
