My girlfriend and I and one other couple had a great stay at this lovely Santa Cruz home. Beth made us feel super welcome by leaving detailed notes about everything we might have questions about, and also left out a nice bottle of sparkling wine and some chocolates to help us celebrate Valentine's Day. The bedrooms were cozy, there was a nice stereo setup that was easy to use and attach an iPod to (also a turntable and a nice selection of records), and a HUGE kitchen with multiple sinks and an abundance of counter space--ideal for collaborating on a big meal with friends! The highlight for us, though, was the backyard, which included a jacuzzi, charcoal grill, speakers connected to the stereo inside, and most importantly, an epic tiki bar with a flat screen TV! Being basketball fans, we had a great time watching NBA All-Star Weekend on the flatscreen, while I got to practice my bartending skills. Quite the selection of booze, too! (We borrowed a bit of this and that, and left a few things behind for the next folks to enjoy.) Only downside was that we found the jacuzzi totally empty when we got there (somehow a valve got opened by mistake and the whole thing drained) and we couldn't get the heat lamp by the tiki bar to light while we were watching TV at the bar (I think the propane tank was empty). But we let Beth know right away about the jacuzzi and Dwight called me right back and walked me through how to close the valve, fill it back up and get it heated. It took a long time to get hot, so we couldn't get in until around 10pm that night, but it wasn't a big deal and Beth and Dwight graciously waived the cleaning fee to make up for the trouble we had to go to to fill it back up and get it hot again. Would've been nice to have the heat lamp working since it was just a little bit chilly outside, but also not a big deal. Overall a great experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to come back!
