Our stay at Delia's was fantastic. She was a very attentive host - available for anything that we needed during our stay. We took her up on her offer to make breakfast and it was beyond our expectations. She has a love of cooking and the meal was delicious - homemade apple crumble, fresh orange juice, champagne, roasted potatoes/veggies, and delicious eggs. She also stocked our room with coffee/beverages and a few treats/snacks. The outdoor space was really nice for morning coffee (watching the wood peckers!) and hanging out in the evenings. Although there are homes adjacent/across the street, the back patio area is surrounded by trees/garden so it is nice retreat and feels private. The hot tub was clean and well maintained and nice in the cool evenings. It was great to be right next to the state park. If you're so inclined, as we were, you can just walk into the park and link up with great hiking trails. It was also nice to have the state park/beaches pass to easily/freely access the places that did require driving. Overall, would highly recommend Delia's place as a base out of which to explore Aptos/Santa Cruz and the surrounding area.
