BookClub Retreat
Guest: LeKeisha D.
Date of Stay: 10/14/11
Review Submitted: 10/20/11
My bookclub of ladies arrived on Friday October 14th and stayed until Sunday October 16th. The house was beautiful and more than we expected. Everyone was able to pick out a room and move around the house and still have space. We took advantage of the back yard for one of our meetings as well the basement to play games, listen to music using the ipod docks located around the home as well as take a walk around the neighborhood. The home is on a quiet street that is close to soo many different shops and resturants. Monica was very easy accessible and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall this was a beautiful home and my entire bookclub loved the space and design and relaxing feel of it. We would love to use this home again as option for our Retreat!!!
Owner response:LeKeisha it was our pleasure to have you stay with us. I'm so glad you all had a fabulous time and enjoyed yourselves. Very kind of you to take the time to write a review! Thank you, My best, Monica :)

Our clan (14) spanning four generations (ages 20 months to 70 years) plus a dog, had a blast! There's something for everyone at the house and in the surrounding area. The house was well appointed, plenty of room so we didn't stumble over one another, a game room for the gamers, a wonderful kitchen for the cooks, and a very nice yard and garden. The home exceeded everyone's expectations. As for the location, it's close to everything and an excellent neighborhood for bike riding, walking/jogging, and steps from the beaches. Monterey and the Boardwalk are a short drive and Capitola is a bike ride away. Plus we were close to the Santa Cruz Mountains for hiking. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend a stay.
Owner response:Dear Sheri and family, we are the lucky one's to have had such a gracious family as our guests. Thank you much for your kind review and it makes us so happy you all enjoyed yourselves. I hope to receive you at our beach home yet again. My best to you and yours, Monica Bowman :)

Our extended family gathered at this beach house to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, and it was perfect for us. Plenty of beds, an elevator for easy access for the grandparents, nice back yard, and a few steps from the beach. We would rent this house again.
Owner response:Thank you guys so much for taking the time to put in this kind review of yours. it's so great to hear you all had a good time. I think i live vicariously through knowing families are getting together with their loved ones. :) My best to you, Monica

We're sharing this review from the perspective of a family who's been renting vacation homes in Santa Cruz for many years. Our experience was EXCELLENT, from pre-booking all the way thru post check-out. We decided to rent the entire house because we had younger - and older- teens in our family group. Everyone had lots of room and had a wonderful time. Monica and her husband were friendly, attentive, responsive and accommodating -- the perfect hosts! The house is beautifully designed and built, from the (heated!) stone floors, full open island kitchen with double-oven Wolf 6-burner range, amazing pots/pans/serving bowls, intercom, backyard dining/firepit, too much to mention! I love to cook and I love this kitchen, great for "group" cooking! House is ideal for entertaining and for large groups who like to spread out and not get in each other's way. The house is a 2 min walk from one of the most popular surfing beaches. We walked to Capitola, 41st St cafes, coffee houses and shops. Check your maps for walking times to various areas. The 41st/Portola neighborhood (1 mi.) has a great crossfit gym (Rocky's), cool vintage/costume store (All Shook Up) in addition to the cafes, surf shops etc. Thank you Monica and Kalika for the wonderful memories, we will be back!
Owner response:Dear John and family, We are so happy to have had anything to do with you and your family getting away and enjoying each other. Thank you for your gracious review and hope to see you all in the near future. Best, Monica & Kalika :)

Amazing Surf Retreat

(Burlingame, CA)
Date of Stay: 04/06/10
Review Submitted: 04/12/11
I rented this beautiful home for my family during Spring Break. My oldest son is an avid surfer and brought along some friends to surf with. The home is completely set up for families and surfers. Very clean and spacious. Looks better than the pictures! The owners have thought of everything to make your life easier: extra boards (soft tops for beginners), extra wetsuits, outdoor shower to rinse of sand from the beach, hot tub, bikes, foosball, televisions in every bedroom, iPod connections to home sound system, pool table (you get the point!). Not to mention that the house is a block away from Pleasure Point, an easy walk to the Hook and all the other spots along East Cliff Drive. Amazingly fun, easy and relaxing. We also stopped at Ano Nuevo on the way down Hwy 1, and Davenport on the way back to surf. The owners were very helpful and worked with us on the scheduling. There are several restaurants within walking distance or a quick 5 min. drive, as well as surf shops and clothing stores. We are already looking forward to our next stay!!
Owner response:Thank you so much for your very kind email. we are so glad you had such a wonderful time! Best to you always, Monica :)

This was a fun house to spend a retreat. The kitchen had everything we need to make meals for a large group. And the basement (4th bedroom) was a pool table, dart board, and disco lights to add to the atmosphere.

This was the perfect location for our 23 person retreat (for adult patients) which I run annually. This was by far one of our best retreats. The Bowman family was incredibly accommodating in assuring that all of our needs were met and they were so kind and professional. The house was clean, comfortable and safe while fostering a sense of creativity, communication and team building. It had all the amenities we could have asked for and at the right price for a non-profit. It is in lovely Santa Cruz close to the water and town. I would highly recommend this terrific beach house.

The architecture, landscaping and beauty of this home are simply amazing! We also experienced great professional communication with the owners. The home is a very, very short walk to an amazing coastline. You need to stay in this home at least once in your life...ok, at least twice!
