"El Nido" is indeed a cozy and beautiful nest just minutes away from amazing beaches, ancient redwood groves and funky Santa Cruz. It features an airy, light-filled space artfully detailed and designed by Chris. We so enjoyed the gorgeous and eclectic art, the comfortable linens and bed and all of the thoughtful details: from plush robes and candles to a mini-fridge packed with yogurt, cheeses, juices, milk, English muffins, even eggs she had freshly boiled for us. We woke up to fat squirrels sitting atop the bird feeder in the bird sanctuary just behind the bedroom. It was also nice to veg out with HBOGO and Netflix on her flat-screen TV after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. Chris' communication was excellent. Our only regret is that we were so busy spending time out that we didn't get to "nest" in El Nido as much as we would have liked to. This is a wonderful place to rest, relax and be inspired.
