My mother returned for another trip to Santa Cruz. We were both very pleased with Shelby's inviting abode. The location of the home is unbeatable for the Westside... Very close to Natural Bridges & Mitchell's Cove. It's close enough to walk to the Lighthouse (Steamer Lane), while still having the ability to easily navigate away from heavy summer traffic. A lot of near by amenities: Chase Bank, Coffeetopia, Kelly's French Bakery, New Leaf, Safeway, and CVS Pharmacy. We had the opportunity to briefly meet Shelby, who was very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cups, ect. There was even a tiny bottle of champagne in the refrigerator. The room had a large open closet with hangers and shelves. The shower was HUGE and the bathroom even had a towel warmer. Everything you might need was available - including lotion, shampoo, soap, a hair dryer, bath towels, beach towels, bicycles, and a lot of pillows. The bed was extremely comfortable!!! Hardwood floors and great natural lighting. Any sound from outside was easily muted with closed windows - although we preferred to keep them open most of the time. The room was spacious & private with its own keyless entry. It was everything we could have hoped for.
