Derek's villa is the best case scenario for an upscale, spacious, and well-priced property! I spent weeks looking for a location that could accommodate up to 20 adults on a retreat. We needed ample square footage with a mix of private and public spaces as well as the right bedroom to bathroom ratio for our group size. This spot and host did more than deliver. We had more supplies than we could be able to take advantage of and just enough information to make the most of our weekend stay. At the villa, everyone comfortably spread out across the multiple floors and rooms. We had a tasteful BBQ on the rooftop patio with excellent views of the beach and our curated playlist singing through the embedded speaker system. It was such a treat to spend a weekend on the site with such fantastic amenities, views, and proximity to the best of the Santa Cruz beachfront. Perhaps just as important, Derek is the best host that I've had in my years of using Airbnb. He was unforgettably considerate, informative, and accommodating without any lack of personality or professionalism. We look forward for our next trip to this Santa Cruz Villa, and will be recommending Derek and the property to our network.
