This is a lovely guest house to stay in! It's a great location in Santa Cruz. It's so quiet at night and peaceful, it felt really removed from the town but in reality was a 5 minute drive to anything you wanted to see in Santa Cruz city. In addition, a national park and the mystery spot are super close, like a few minutes drive.
The house itself is very thoughtfully put together and very cozy, it was clean and comfortable. The bed was super comfy and the wife loved the big tub. We loved the private outdoor area and the woods behind the guest house! Seeing the wildlife around the house was awesome too, we saw some deers plus their cat was always around which was nice.
Kris & Shane were present on the property, as you would expect as they live there... But they were respectful of our privacy which was good.
A quick note: As the listing mentions clearly, this is a guest house on a property with the owners personal house and an Airstream which is another AirBNB close by, so you can expect a decent amount of activity on the property. However this didn't bother us as they have the primary house/airstream/the guest house all fenced off from one another in their own private spaces.
All in all this was a fantastic place to stay, and Kris & Shane were great hosts, we would stay again and recommend to others.
