Cathy and Pete were spectacular hosts, and extremely helpful with advice about getting around the Santa Cruz, Capitola area. They made the stay seem like a "visit" with friends. The room, house and hospitality were first rate. They provide a great mini-breakfast in their dining area....good coffee, coffee cake, and the NY Times. The house and the room were comfy, colorful, and bright; and full of interesting pictures and objects d'art. The back yard, which could be accessed directly via the room's French doors was a wonderland of creativity...fanciful stone walkways, an aviary, a cornucopia of flowers and vegetation, a labyrinth, and happy chickens at the rear. Delightful, memorable visit to area and to this particular home and hosts. Will return without a doubt.
