Lovely quiet setting. Enjoyed the scenery, gardens and wildlife. Weather was perfect, but it does get a bit chilly at night. I think it’s a great place to stay if you want to entertain quests outside on the private patio which has a gas fire pit for when the sun goes down.

Perfect escape

We loved our weekend stay! Greg and Naima were fantastic hosts. The view from the patio was so peaceful and we enjoyed sitting outside near the firepit and playing horseshoes. The space was perfect for our family of five, having the second bathroom is a huge plus! We will definitely be back when we are in the 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.

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.
