This is a fantastic spot and well representative of Santa Cruz! I did a weekend of songwriting with a friend, alternating working on music and taking walks on the beach and forests when we needed a break. The location is about 10 minute drive from many attractions. The gas range in the kitchen was great for heating up left overs and prepping breakfast. It was also fun watching the chickens in the back. The bed and fold out couch were both comfortable and there were plenty of pillows, blankets, towels etc. everything you need for a great get away.
