Michael's home was an amazing stay and bursting with character! Right away Michael did a great job of making us feel at home and welcome. He gave us a brief tour and history of his place, which featured many beautiful pieces of art and all the accommodations you could ask for. The patio and balcony are great places to sit, relax and take in the beauty of the area. The location is beautiful, with walking access to the beach and a 15 minute drive to downtown Santa Cruz. We definitely hope to visit again soon, as Michael made us feel at home and part of a great community of friends!
