Cathy and Pete's place is a comfortable and quiet place a few miles from downtown Santa Cruz (it is almost in Capitola). The bed is very comfortable with more than adequate bedding and plenty of pillows. The room has it's own private bathroom which was well-equipped with thoughtful touches. There is a door that leads directly into their large and beautiful garden. Coffee, tea and breakfast cake are provided from very early in the morning (5 am) so it's great for early birds. Pete includes a lot of information about the room in the listing and it is all accurate. We brought our two small dogs and it was great to have a safe outdoor space for them as needed. Something we did not anticipate was that not having kitchen privileges would be difficult when it rained as we had some trouble locating a restaurant that had covered outfoor seating area where we could bring the dogs. Pete and Cathy were very clear about this in the listing so not a complaint, just an observation if you are traveling with your dog. If you are looking for a nice place to stay in the Santa Cruz area, this is a great choice!
