About the host
Hosted by Matt Obrien
I'm a local of Soquel and LOVE everything about the area. I want to share my passion of the area with my guests through our top tier accommodation.
Why they chose this property
You can't beat this area. Tucked away in the hills, you'll have complete privacy, yet close to all the local attractions. You get 180 degree views of the Monterey Bay.
What makes this property unique
Everything is top of the line. We also have jetliner views of the ocean, which is very uncommon in the area.
