I didn't get to know Marie and her hubbie because they were out on an expected trip abroad, but they left an AWESOME couple, Tanja and Marco, taking care of their AMAZING place. My friend and I had a SPLENDID time in Santa Cruz, made friends with locals and I'm already looking for plane tickets to came back!! :D Tanja and Marco were great, very caring, very lovely. The place is beautiful, organized, clean, relaxing etc. There were fruits, teas and oatmeal waiting for us, which was a lovely surprise. :D
