The Hoffman House was a perfect vacation getaway for our small family reunion. The location was secluded and peaceful, but we were still close to shopping and recreational activities. The house and grounds were spotless and well planned with all of amenities you could ask for with sufficient parking for 4 cars. Just bring your clothes and food. Everything else is there. If you want to be within walking distance of the boardwalk, beach, nightlife and general craziness of Santa Cruz, this is not the place. But if you want to be about 15 minutes away from it, with easy access to Hwy 17 and Hwy 1, this is the place. Amy was the perfect host and personally attended to a minor mechanical issue that only took about 5 minutes to fix. This was by far, the easiest vacation to plan and a perfect place to connect with family or friends.
