Pete's place is amazing! It can be described in one word- Zen. His garden is magical, with sounds of wind chimes and birds chirping. Staying in the Harmony room, with private entrance to garden area, we felt like we had the whole back yard to ourselves. It was so quiet in the Harmony room. Both my girlfriend and I slept really well. And we even heard a seal in the morning! Waking up to the light coming in from window and skylight was great. The location was convenient and we had our own parking space. The walk to the beach takes ~15 minutes, there is always Uber if you don't want to drive. Plenty of places to eat / grab coffee nearby.

Pete is super friendly and has an incredibly calm presence. He gave us useful advice on things to do in Santa Cruz. We loved his coffee cake and morning chat while we drank coffee and glanced at the newspaper, he made new kinds of cake to try each morning. The second one had blackberries picked fresh from his garden. We can't wait to visit again, this place is great for a relaxing, rejuvenating weekend getaway.
