Kris was a gracious host. She was warm and friendly and was very helpful with her knowledge of the area. The room was as described. This place has a very BnB feel, having a private entrance and it's own bathroom. Kris has complimented this with many nice amenities and the décor is very quaint, well appointed and spacious. We had our own coffee maker to use and some nice noshes for starting our morning. Her backyard and deck made for a wonderful place to sit and relax, with many flowering plants to add to the beauty plus some strawberries to eat. I would also comment, that don't let not being directly on the coast to be a deterrent. My wife and I had an event in Aptos and it was a little more than 10 minutes to get there and only about 15 minutes to get to Capitola. This will definitely be a go to place when we come back to this area. Thanks Kris!
