This home is great!! Jeannie and her family are some of the most kind and generous people you will ever meet. They will make you feel right at home. Jeannie respected our space when we needed time to rest, but also invited us for her evening walks to the beach or to enjoy family dinner with everyone.
The location was perfect as well. Downtown Santa Cruz is about a 20min drive, and there's a beach about a 15min walk away. It's surrounded by farms so it's really quiet and peaceful, which is perfect after a day of exploring the crowded tourist areas. The views of the sunset are also incredible. The house seems a little hidden - you'll see the mailbox with the house number, and then there's an unpaved road to drive up for about a minute before you reach the house.
There's full use of the kitchen, cable tv, and comfortable beds. The only downside I can think of is that my phone didn't have great service. But I needed a break from it anyway. So I was very pleased with my stay here!
