Stop your search. I’ve found the perfect place to stay in Santa Cruz/Felton and it is this house!!! I’ve stayed in many nice vacation rentals in the past, but this house is truly the best one I’ve ever rented!
First off, Susie is a stellar host. We were staying in Felton for my daughters wedding at Roaring Camp (literally right around the corner from the house) and Susie met me at the house to show me around and even let us use some of her personal platters, vases etc for a brunch I hosted. She is a true “Super Host”!
The home itself is absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully decorated, bright, cheerful and super clean! The bedrooms are spacious, beds super comfortable and the view off the back deck is to die for. The kitchen is large, beautifully appointed and has everything you would ever need to cook meals, large and small. There are even several coffee options, including a Keurig, which we very much enjoyed using during our stay.
There is no air conditioning so the upstairs can get warm when it’s hot outside, but Susie left plenty of fans and the house actually cools off quite nicely once the evening comes.
One thing to note is that the road leading into the neighborhood where the house is located is quite narrow- really just one lane. So if you meet a car coming the other direction it can be a bit dicey. I was rather nervous about it at first but became comfortable navigating in and out of the neighborhood after a day and it ended up really not being much of an issue at all. But just be aware of this aspect of the home, especially if you have a large SUV or truck.
I am serious when I say that I was sad to leave this amazing home at the end of our time in Felton. I cannot wait to return!!
