Your house is very nice. It is cozy. I love your paintings and the decorations in your house. This is a very nice house and you are lucky to own it. I loved the See's Candies. Thanks! Ava, age 11, June 2004 (from house's guestbook)

Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing week in Santa Cruz. While the weather was cloudy and grey more often than not - the beach was wonderful. We loved walking and watching the pelicans. Thank you for your hospitality! Martha C. August 2004 (from house's guestbook)
