The pictures do not do this place justice. It's absolutely wonderful - clean, quiet, tranquil backyard, and one of the most comfy beds I've slept in. Val and Terry are wonderful hosts who made sure we had everything we needed but also gave us complete privacy. They even left complimentary wine, pastries, and doggie biscuits! The guesthouse is immaculate and so cozy. The backyard is a perfect space to sit with morning coffee and enjoy the sunshine and chirping birds, and/or spend an evening grilling and playing ping pong. Dog friendly too! Though small dog owners take note, there are a few slots in the fence where a wanderer could get out if you aren't careful. Overall, we can't recommend this place enough and will definitely stay again the next time we are visiting Santa Cruz.
