Marie and Peter were great hosts. I came by myself as a mental break from my home situation (partner, kiddo and work) and it was just the thing as a space to meditate, do yoga and introspect. The walk to the beach was easeful, plus the even longer walk to another nearby beach was a delight. This place is mostly quiet (with occasional voices from the other part of the house, but never too loud) and the fact that I was early to bed and early to rise was complimentary to the flow. If you're coming with others this is probably a great spot to launch from into Santa Cruz before coming back to a quiet night before bed. Beaches are walkable, and the better food options are a short drive.
