My boyfriend and I visited Santa Cruz for the first time during our stay at Marie and Peter's. We had a wonderful stay in their lovely "Peach Room" and they were very helpful with recommendations in the area for us. Since they are very close to the beach, we took advantage of the bikes they have there that can be borrowed for a small "donation." The room was cozy and a fridge, microwave, water and snacks were supplied. Unfortunately, we did not get to take advantage of the hot tub, but we will be sure to make that happen next time; highly recommended!
