My stay at Homie’s hideaway was absolutely wonderful. Homer and Claudia were welcoming, helpful and incredibly responsive to all my inquiries. The description of the listing and the photos are accurate. The neighborhood is residential and relatively quiet, although one can occasionally hear the barking of seals. Grocery stores and restaurants are a short drive away; so too, the beach and boardwalk are very close. I highly recommend Homie’s hideaway, and would happily return here when I next visit Santa Cruz.
