My husband and two small dogs stayed at this home for a weekend. We had a lovely time. Mara was available for my questions and replied quickly to help us prepare for our trip. The home had everything we needed and we were able to explore a new area during our trip that we otherwise may not have. She gave us suggestions of restaurants and even a dog friendly park that were helpful. Mara made us feel very welcome and I would definitely recommend this to others looking to stay in Santa Cruz.
