Nice location, quiet, away from the hubub of Santa Cruz and Capitola, both a short drive away. Soquel is a great location. No tourists! Yeah! Love the posters in the cottage, if your a fan of the Dead your in heaven. Tub out on the deck at night is the best, my favorite part. Jay and Lisa are good hosts and met me outside on arrival to say hi. I had 2 nice local hikes in the Redwoods a short drive away. There's a lot of hiking around, although having a dog, as always, put's you outside of all state parks. Enjoy.
