Sita's space and location (eg, proximity to beach, cafes/restaurants, etc) cannot be beat. I was only there for 1.5 days, but the cozy bungalow, outdoor hot tub (it's a *real* wood and deep hot tub that was absolutely PERFECT - I'm a hot tub snob!) and hammock and her willingness to have me and my pup made for an instant dropping in to relaxation and zen. She even texted me a day in to make sure I was happy and not needing anything - I so appreciated! The nightly rate with pet fee was a bit steep (IMO); but, I know it's the peak time of year weather-wise to enjoy Santa Cruz + environs (and, I obviously happily paid and recognize that rates are decided in large part by the market/season/external factors; though, had it been a bit less $$, I would have loved to have stayed longer; will save up for next year! Thank you again, Sita - you're a lovely host with a very special space.
