My son (4 years old) and I felt right at home during our 3 night stay in Kris and Shane's guesthouse. Situated just a few miles from all of the action in downtown Santa Cruz, yet surrounded by lovely trees on their quiet and private property, I couldn't imagine a more convenient place to stay. The house had everything we needed, was extremely clean and had many thoughtful touches including the cozy backyard area where we ate our dinners every night. Kris and Shane were easy to contact and quick to respond if I had any questions. Easy check in and check out - I'm looking forward to returning in the future.
