Great little place for the night

Our family of four was very comfortable for the night here. Great little secluded guest house outside of town in a quiet area.

Taking my kid to college

The retreat was a great quiet stay while we took our kid to UC Santa Cruz. Close enough to be convenient, but remote enough to be restful.

Mountain Retreat

Except for an occasional plane overhead, it was exceptionally quiet! A time to reflect. I am glad we drove during daylight hours because the public road to and from is in serious need of repair.

Hillside Retreat

This is a lovely rental in a beautiful rural setting, yet just minutes from Soquel and Capitola. The owners were gracious and helpful. Definitely a great "getaway" for a weekend or longer. The only downside--if it is one--is that internet connection can be spotty due to the location.

Lovely stay in the mountains

We had a lovely short overnight stay during a quick weekend trip down to Santa Cruz. This was such a fun spot with beautiful scenic views across the mornings. This home is also just a short drive from restaurants and bars in the Santa Cruz area. The bedrooms were comfy and was nice to have two bathrooms during our short stay. The hosts provided a seamless check in and check out experience. We are very grateful to be hosted in such a cool and beautiful home for the night. Ubers were easily available to pick us up and drop us off as well which was nice and convenient.

Spectacular property

This is one of the most beautiful properties we have stayed in. Away from the the sounds of of the crowds, on the top of a mountain, it’s so quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to get to Capitola in about 10 minutes. The apartment is beautifully furnished with everything you need and the owners communicated with us to make sure we were good and was there anything else we needed. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Greg and Naima!!

California Trip

The apartment was very nice. Our family of four really enjoyed the extra room in the apartment. We were traveling in California for a week and the kids and parents liked having their own rooms and beds. So much better than a hotel. We watched glass onion on the living rooom while we snacked on dinner that we picked up. Fantastic hosts!!

Rejuvenating

To start the landscaping along the path is amazing, flowers and greenery everywhere. Once inside everything is so well placed and organized too. The bedrooms were adorable, the kids loved the bunkbeds, of course. The king bed in the master suite was a wonderful, I thought it was listed as a queen. The patio outside is awesome, it looks over the trees. We got to see owls, deer, squirrels, and driving past the neighbors llamas was always fun. I highly recommend this place. Will come back here if staying in the area.

Lovely, peaceful location

Perfect place for some quiet relaxation. I wish we would have had more time to relax on the beautiful patio. It was about a 15-20 minute drive to Santa Cruz Wharf, and 10-15 to Capitola Wharf. Both fun stops. The living room/dining/kitchen was smallish but just fine for us and had a microwave, full fridge and small stove top, and appeared well equipped although we didn’t cook. There is a grill on the large patio too that would be fun to use. The bedrooms were nice, and two bathrooms - one quite large. The beds were firm but I slept fine. The owners are there, but we barely heard them. The directions were detailed and helpful, communication was very good. It was a very nice stay.

What a lovely getaway!

My siblings and I celebrated my stepdad's 50th birthday with him here. It was such a peaceful setting, and exactly as advertised. He doesn't like crowds and noisy places, so we spent the evening around the firepit, barbecuing ribeye and salmon as the sun set over the valley. Our host welcomed us to his split-level home, and showed us all of the rooms, the spacious 1.5 baths, the cozy den, and the two bedrooms. There was plenty of space for the four of us, and we had such a great time. Everything was incredibly clean and neat, and yet didn't have that sterile mass-produced vibe that many hotels affect. The gorgeous rugs made the hardwood floor incredibly comfortable, and the furniture was incredibly comfy. The beds were really comfy, too, with plenty of pillows, a warm duvet, and more in the closet, if needed. Our hostess brought us some delicious Moroccan mint tea, and we had the most delicious chocolates waiting for us. It was the most peaceful stay!

Very clean

My favorite thing about this place was how nice and clean it was. Very nice, comfortable, and welcoming! Towels and sheets were better than most places we've stayed at. Host was so nice to us: showed us around and even brought us tea and snacks. She also showed my kids where a toy box was stored and they loved that! We really appreciated that! Beautiful surroundings! Thank you for your kindness! This is the first time we've stayed in someone's place while they were there. Although we were given privacy, you are still in someone else's house while they are home, so that presents minor challenges in my opinion (i.e., waiting for someone to unlock the door, having to interact with someone after a long day, and noise carrying) and this place although cute and clean, has no kitchen, which is clearly stated, but still, can be challenging with 2 little kids. If I was alone with my husband, it probably would've been no problem.

Beautiful stay for a family wedding!

This rental apartment was perfect for our five-day stay for a family wedding in Santa Cruz. We were looking for a place where we could enjoy the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains and this apartment and surrounding property was perfect. Quiet, peaceful with beautiful views with stunning flowering bushes, trees, and containers. Great outdoor patio for your morning beverage or evening cocktail. Grill and patio furniture is a plus. The apartment inside was clean with enough kitchenware and linens provided. Owners were very nice and checked in with us during our stay. We had a great stay and would highly recommend the property.
