Rex and Briana are amazing hosts. I love how they make your visit personal to you by taking the time to leave a kind and thoughtful hand written note, flowers, chocolates, and a bottle of wine on the table. I had the privilege of meeting them too as I arrived a bit early and saw them on their way out after they made sure the house was in immaculate shape for our arrival. I even got to check in an hour earlier which I truly appreciated and check out at noon on the day of our departure. Their home is truly a gem located in the heart of Santa Cruz. The beautiful art/decor/antiques throughout the house are truly a treasure and to be admired. The house is spacious and the beds were so comfortable it's like they just hug you. The kitchen is well stocked and lots of towels for multiple days at the beach. The patio in back was such a delight I enjoyed taking in the beautiful weather sitting on the swing at night and in the morning enjoying my cup of coffee. We also enjoyed breakfast out there in the mornings too. I love that their home was walking distance to Downtown and The Beach Boardwalk. We used our car only once to go to The Mystery Spot other than that we walked to all the amazing places nearby. We came back from the Boardwalk after 10 at night and I felt completely safe walking back to the house. This is truly an Oasis that was just perfect. I travel to Santa Cruz regularly and I must say this stay was the best yet. A big Thank you to Rex and Briana for sharing their home with others.
