Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Rob Hardwicke
Rob's a Los Gatos-born & raised native Californian, whose family has been in the area since the late 1800's. Maryann hails from tiny Pittsfield, New Hampshire, brags that she is of 100% Polish stock, and arrived in California to live and work for the first time in 1971. At one time or another, both she and Rob have been residents of New York City and both have enjoyed extensive overseas work and/or living assignments in Asia, Europe and South America. They exude a casual warmth and dedicated kindness that aims to provide every guest of their Steamer Lane Manor beach home with a happily memorable stay.
Why they chose this property
Rob fell in love with this house way back in 1972, fresh out of grad school. His longest tenants were his parents, Bern & Mima, who resided here from 1974 until 2001 -- Bern living until age 95 and Mima an admirably active 101. Built by a Danish contractor for himself back in 1942, the house saw no corners cut in terms of quality or aesthetics. It is Rob & Maryann's favorite spot on earth when they're in a mood to inhale the restoring freshness of Pacific Ocean salt air, enjoy a delightful fish dinner, bike and hike the coastal cliffs, sip a craft beer at one of Santa Cruz' burgeoning microbrew establishments -- or just loaf in the company of friends and family.
What makes this property unique
Steamer Lane Manor is unique in so many ways -- location, amenities, 'good vibes' (this IS California after all), secure parking and new friends.
