I just returned from a weekend at the studio, with my 8 year old son - and we're already planning how we can return! It is so pretty and relaxing, and the view from the lawn is just spectacular. Photos do not capture it. Every morning we saw seals and dolphins, every evening there was a lovely sunset. The outdoor kitchen is a delight, the darts kept my son very happy, and the studio is very pretty and comfortable. The friendly chicken, dog and cat were a bonus! The location is great - Aptos is very charming and it's just a 10 min walk to the beach in a charming community. Jeanell is a very generous and kind host. I really hope for a return visit!
