The stay was fantastic, quiet and peaceful area. Close to the city but far away from the noise and traffic. If you’re looking for birdwatching in the porch and the occasional deer sighting, with a nice view of the ocean in the distance, this is the place for you. Owner was very swift when solving a problem for me and keeping the stay perfect for us. I will be staying here again for sure, great property and great people.

Peaceful coastal stay

Our overall trip to Santa Cruz was one for the books, and our stay up in the mountains was quite pleasant. Nice and close to town, ocean views from the porch, and tons of wildlife. Easy peasy stay, definitely recommend.

Elegant and comfortable hillside retreat

My husband and I spent the weekend enjoying trees, tranquility, and ocean air while staying in this lovely rental. The hosts were welcoming and communicative. The Shakespeare festival, downtown Santa Cruz, and Henry Cowell state park were the other ingredients in a fabulous getaway weekend.

Exactly what we wanted

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home. Had really great views. Perfect location being just outside of the city with much to do! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Tom was very responsive to any questions. "Buddy" the next door dog was also great plus when he came to visit.
