Michael's place is a wonderful getaway! We came to relax with visiting family and used Michael's place as a base from which to explore Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Big Sur. It worked out perfectly! The house itself is colorful, clean, creative, and very well stocked for cooking and just being comfortable. The huge outdoor porch facing the water was divine, as was the bakery next door and the beautiful beach across the street. Michael was a very easy going and accommodating host that gave us a friendly greeting but also gave us our space. We will definitely be back and feel grateful to have found such a wonderful little getaway!
