We had a much needed relaxing vacation at Janea's place near Santa Cruz. Located up in the woods (No Cell Service, but wifi works well) - it's still conveniently located 15-20 mins from Downtown Santa Cruz, and only 10 minutes or so from the local town (Safeway, Bank, Gas, Restaurants, etc). It was great to come up here and disconnect for a few days!
Though we appreciate Janea's very detailed and clear directions, we relied on Google maps and were able to arrive (But I'd definitely recommend relying on the final bit of Janea's directions to find the exact location). Note there are stairs that lead up to the house, but they shouldn't be too difficult. The location is very shaded by the trees, so I'd recommend getting there during daylight or else it may be even more difficult to find.
The unit had everything we needed from pots/pans, spices/seasonings, towels. blankets, blender, flashlights/lanterns, soaps/shampoos/toiletries. The oven and kitchen worked really well for in and we were able to prepare a lot of great meals (Also a Kettle BBQ grill outside)
We really enjoyed using the firepit outside, along with the soaking tub in the backyard. It was very private with fencing and large trees surrounding us. Beds were comfortable, and there were definitely enough blankets, heaters/fireplaces, to ensure we stayed cozy throughout our whole visit.
Janea was great with communications, and even messaged us mid-stay to ensure we were enjoying our stay and had enough supplies. There was a power outage due to high winds on the day we checked out, and Janea was nice enough to check in on us to ensure we were okay as there is no receiption or wifi due to the outage.
We'd definitely return to Tranquility Basecamp if we're ever in the area again, thanks Janea!
