This place was lovely, comfortable, perfecting situated for visiting our daughter, a UCSC student with an apartment in town. It was a very quick drive to her apartment and the nearby beaches and downtown. We appreciated the lovely deck under the redwoods for morning coffee (graciously provided with a coffee maker) and one evening takeout meal. Also, since we spent much of our time hiking with adult children who are naturalists, but not familiar with California plants and birds, the nature books in the bookshelf were helpful and interesting. We would definitely recommend this place and would come back. Plenty of room for three adults, comfortable beds, with a lot of spots of natural interest nearby. The hosts were very attentive by phone, but we had little need to bother them as everything was well set up.
