Susan and Bill made us feel very welcome in their space. The grounds and loft are just beautiful. We enjoyed the original artwork and well cared for gardens. It was the perfect home base for exploring Aptos, and if we had wanted Santa Cruz. There was really no reason to head north, as Aptos has excellent secluded beaches, forests and food options. Susan and Bill provided outstanding recommendations for all of these. We loved our stay and look forward to returning soon.
