I cannot say enough good things about our stay at The Coop. We were warmly greeted and shown around the place. Everything was very well explained and we were immediately comfortable! The home itself was spacious and airy, with lots of windows (blinds for nighttime) to let in the glorious Santa Cruz air. Our favorite room was upstairs because we could shut a door to keep out the heat, which was needed downstairs for an elderly family member. It was great to have two bathrooms as well as a den and an office. For location, we were about 2 miles from everything except the Roaring Camp railroad! Wow! We appreciated fresh sheets and towels, and even coffee for the coffee maker. The roses along the fence out front were an added bonus. We left a few up-to-date Santa Cruz activities magazines because the California travel book (2003) gave an outdated address for the information center. We would absolutely love to stay here again, and we will be sure to come as a group of 5, because there is plenty of room! The patio area out back with the table was great, too. We had no problem parking on the street, and found there was actually room for 3 more cars if we had needed it. We appreciated a list with some of the local great restaurants and such. Oh, and having WiFi available was imperative, as we used the internet every evening to plan the next day. Great speed, easy connectivity = wonderful! Thank you for letting us live in your home for a week!
