We rented the house to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. Three generations shared the house very comfortably. We especially liked spending the cool mornings cozy in the kitchen where a lovely gas fire place kept us warm. The large living room-dining room was perfect for family meals. The outside area was great for lounging in the sun, bobbing in the hot tub and grilling up tasty food.

The proximity to Natural Bridges was perfect for visiting the beach. Being only .5 miles to a wonderful collection of shops, bakery, brewery and winery outposts made it easy to hang on the West Side.

The neighborhood is quiet and felt like a world away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Santa Cruz and moreso the Bay Area.

Geoff, our host, was easy to connect with when we had some questions. Getting in and out of the house was easy as well.
