Marie and Peter were extremely welcoming. They made us feel at home by providing towels, coffee, and fresh fruit. These little touches created a comfortable atmosphere. The area of their home was quiet and relaxing. Their home was also close to a small little beach that we didn't get a chance to go to but was nice to drive by as we headed to downtown Santa Cruz or other areas in the city. Downtown Santa Cruz was a short drive from the house. would absolutely recommend this home if you're looking for a homey and quiet place to stay.
