Delia was absolutely amazing! My wife and I got married in Santa Cruz over Labor Day weekend and after looking for hotels and rentals all over the Bay we decided to spend our wedding night at the Aptos Forest Retreat with Delia. It was the best choice we could have made! Delia makes the whole process so personal and was actually a huge part of our special weekend. She set up the room beautifully for us, had a delicious breakfast stocked in the fridge and the room was perfect. She even got in a secret wedding gift my wife got for me and corresponded with our friends who dropped it off the day before our wedding (how personable is that!). The room is great: super comfy bed, nicely decorated, lots of natural light, and windows that looked out into the forest. We felt extremely private, but also had the help of Delia close by if needed. The house is just the right amount of distance away from the Santa Cruz traffic, but not too far to make it inconvenient. Just a peaceful getaway!

Overall, if you are looking for a cozy, clean and relaxing stay in Santa Cruz, and you want the added bonus of an extremely helpful and personable host, go with Delia at Aptos Forest Retreat!
