We had an amazing stay at Mary Ann’s. We were driving south via Highway 1 from San Jose to Monterey and wanted to stay a night near Santa Cruz. When we checked in, we instantly fell in love with the garden with flowers and lemon tree! It smelled heavenly. The room was more spacious than we expected and everything was truly sparkly clean. The amenities were beyond amazing. Shampoo, conditioner and body products are much better than what you usually get at airbnbs. The breakfast/snacks were thoughtful and delicious. Location is perfect for those traveling with a car since it’s not too far from attractions in Santa Cruz but far enough to be nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Mary Ann was also very friendly and prompt in communicating with us. We will be back at her place when we are visiting the area again!
