Our stay was lovely, peaceful, and relaxing. The back yard, with the hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower, is truly where it's at. We spent many relaxing hours enjoying those amenities. Gazing up at the stars while showering in the evening was an unexpected treat. And the sauna is legit! It gets good and hot, and quickly. My small family--partner, daughter, and myself--were very comfy in the two bedrooms and living space. The neighborhood was safe, walkable, and very quiet at night. I would definitely recommend this spot as a jumping off point for seeing all that Santa Cruz has to offer.
