I have been coming to Santa Cruz for the last 9 years, and Maisie's home is the BEST experience in staying there! The atmosphere is that of a Spanish Villa, the bedroom is perfectly sized, and the views of Santa Cruz and the mountains are just breath-taking. Maisie also has a beautiful garden with citrus trees and hummingbird-friendly landscaping, if we wouldn't have had such a packed schedule, we just would have sat on the patio enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. I wouldn't recommend the home to families with toddlers, though - Maisie has beautiful ceramic artwork and pottery in the house, and my little one was just too eager to grab things and look at them closely... Also, there is no extra wall or border for the garden towards a steep downwards slope - which is actually really beautiful, but my little was magically attracted by it. So - of course I wouldn't let him run unsupervised anyways, but my mommy sense was just screaming on high alert. The outdoor patio area is beautiful to sit in, the kitchen in Maisie's home is amazing, and Maisie herself is a wonderful host! Very easy to communicate with. Thank you for a wonderful time in Santa Cruz.
