Joan is a wonderful hostess; she was always quick to reply with any answers to any questions we had. Her home is gorgeous with fantastic views! She leaves a great list of restaurants and fun things to do in the area. She left us a nice bottle of wine in celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary which was so thoughtful! Thank you Joan - we loved our stay in your beautiful home! Perfect location being close to Santa Cruz, and away from all the traffic with a gorgeous beach.
