This was just the right place for a relaxing weekend getaway. Anja and Evan pack a lot of value into a petite package. The courtyard is relaxing and private. Watching the stars from the hot tub at night was a highlight. In addition to all the things you might need, like a microwave, fridge with small freezer, Keurig machine (with reusable cups to put your own coffee in!), and water filter, they've thoughtfully installed a more robust sink in the bathroom so it's possible to rinse your bathing suit and wash dishes. I've tried to do both of those things in a tiny bathroom sink and this was so much easier!
The bedding was luscious, the temperature even in winter was very comfortable with the help of an awesome little air filter + heater, and the location was so quiet. There's a gorgeous walk along the ocean and a lovely neighborhood with two great coffee shops nearby. This might be Santa Cruz at its most chill. Thanks for creating this special place and for being responsive and gracious hosts, Anja and Evan!
