This is a truly outstanding property & Damian was a host who exceeded our expectations. Hopefully the pictures do the rental justice. There is a huge outdoor area & the pool is an excellent size. The house itself has everything you'd wish for a holiday rental. We booked for one week & wish we'd spent a 2nd week at the property. The location is outstanding. A little out of the way, but we enjoyed being away from the crowds & traffic of Santa Cruz. Beautiful spot to enjoy peace & quiet, see deer & enjoy the open Californian skies. The drive to Davenport is fine. Gets a bit more rural if you use the rural road to Felton (very similar to the roads in the Highlands of Scotland). As a base to explore the Pacific highway, this could not be faulted. We have used a lot of holiday rentals and this is, without doubt, the best we've every used. I would highly recommend Damian as a host & can find no fault with his rural rental.
