Our weekend getaway to Aptos/ Santa Cruz area was well overdue since the pandemic started and staying at Delias place was well worth the wait!
Delia was quick to communicate prior and during our trip and welcomed us when we arrived.
The forest retreat space was magical. It felt very secluded, private and we had a whole outdoor space to ourselves (fire pit, hot tub, bistro lights and a lovely manicured landscape included). Coming back after a long day was a treat to get to relax outside.
The space itself was clean and great too- Delia had so many personal touches that made our stay memorable- delicious warm homemade scones at our door with grapefruit one morning, a stocked fridge with granola fruit and milk (and even oat milk for me), E & O products in the bathroom, plenty of extra towels/blankets/robes etc. she’s thought of everything to make the retreat the ultimate getaway. The space was very quiet and the WiFi was fast too- signal was a little spotty but it was nice to disconnect for the weekend :)
The location is located up a windy road in Aptos but was only a few min to get into town and less than 20 min to get into Santa Cruz or capitola for some beaches. We enjoyed coming back each evening to eat dinner outside by the fire and gaze up at the stars.
Thanks again Delia for the great hospitality and stay. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back!
