This sweet little guesthouse had everything we needed for a weekend retreat- it is quiet, self-contained, clean, and in a great location. There are very clear instructions on how to help preserve the space so other people can enjoy it after you, which is appreciated. I was pleased to see there was yummy hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and bath gel in the bathroom; regular and decaf coffee, instant oatmeal, and creamer in the kitchenette. There is a shopping area not too far away to the west, and a great local coffee shop even closer to the east, making this a wonderful spot to park yourself and relax if you wish. It may not be walking distance to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, but that really just makes it that much nicer- quiet, peaceful, and friendly.
