Staying at Gina's place lived up to everything promised: A gorgeous house (what amazing wood work architecture), a warm, safe, and comfortable room with beautiful private bathroom, and a host who's infectious enthusiasm, cheer, and laughter truly transforms the house into a "home." (She cooks a pretty delicious yogurt cheese quesadilla too!)

Gina's home is so warm and inviting I was tempted to stay inside and not walk the 5 blocks down to breathtaking Capitola beach and the famously quaint restaurant-lined Esplanade. But I did anyway (who could pass up this other captivating attraction?)

My visit was so heavenly I decided to stay! Yep, I live in Capitola now!

Thank you, Gina, for an amazing experience! You're the best!
