Where to even start. I guess with the house and location, which are absolutely amazing. I love tutor style homes, but I'd never stayed in one. The house is charming, the room was so comfy (the bed was incredible, I didn't even miss my own bed), the kitchenette and tv room was large and comfortable and well stocked with treats and drinks for any time of day and night.
Getting to Santa Cruz was so easy, just turn right out of her driveway and follow the winding forest road as it winds up and down through the woods, occasionally opening up to ocean views, except when the fog was rolling in, which brought its own magic.
Waking up in my room and looking out the window at the mist climbing through and clinging to the redwood trees was truly enchanting.
Jamie is so kind, so attentive and thoughtful, so great to chat with, and just an awesome person. She offered to book me a massage at her wellness center in Santa Cruz, and that was a great way to start the trip.
I will definitely be making this a more regular excursion. I fell in love with Santa Cruz. Redwoods next to palm trees? Yes please!
No complaints. Just praise and gratitude! Thanks, Jamie!
