This house is for those who want to be immersed in the California culture. Because it is oh so very California, eccentric and wacky in a great way! While I know many travelers might make this their base to explore Santa Cruz, we just chilled on the porch. It was exactly what we needed. I did yoga and looked at the redwoods. Kitty is the perfect host. She respects privacy but is also willing to share her experiences in the area, where she's lived for many, many years. Plus, she adores her hummingbirds and nature and shares it all with guests.
