I cannot emphasize enough how darling Laura's place is. It was just perfect for a romantic getaway. She provided us wine with a sweet note! (I was gushing for about an hour from that.) The space was bigger than we expected, and I just adored the fox theme! The was well-lit and open, so I didn't feel so enclosed in the space with my fiancé. The kitchen was great, although we didn't do much cooking as we hoped lol. The amenities were great, I didn't feel like anything was lacking if we needed more towels or sheets. I loved how quiet it was! Hearing nature was amazing.
There were restaurants nearby that we went to and enjoyed the ambiance with cute shops along the way. The commute to Santa Cruz wasn't bad at all! The house was close to the freeway, so it didn't take us more than 15-20 minutes to get to Santa Cruz proper. If we needed groceries or other toiletries, a Safeway and CVS were conveniently located close by. And parking was quite easy in which Laura provided instructions.
Because it was such a pleasant stay, I'm hoping we'll return for another trip!
