We had an awesome, if rainy, Thanksgiving holiday with Flynn, our Australian Shepherd. The place was cozy, sparklingly clean, and the kitchen was the best-equipped we'd ever seen for an Airbnb. We cooked up a feast in the perfect kitchen and soaked at night in the amazing wooden hot tub. In the morning, we could watch birds fly by from the snug comfort of the loft bed with two skylights. Tom and Sita were such wonderful hosts, coming by to bring us a vegetable peeler and to meet Flynn, promptly answering any questions we had. The heater worked well, and checking in and out was a breeze. The house is so beautifully designed and built (by Tom!) that it is a perfect place for a couple and a canine (or 2, depending on size). Just blocks from Pleasure Point and spectacular waves, the house is perfectly located in a great neighborhood, close to everything you might need. We will need to come back when it is not pouring rain, but whatever the weather, this is a wonderful place to stay in Santa Cruz. Thank you, Tom and Sita, Sarah, Margarita, and Flynn the Aussie.
