Janiece was always quick and helpful with communication. The house is charming, with unique, beautiful artwork throughout. Sadly, mice in the house cut our stay short, but she kindly refunded the unused days. Unfortunately mold can be common in Santa Cruz so if you are sensitive to mold this would not be the place for you.

We loved our stay! The garden and yard was perfect. We cooked a nice meal and enjoyed sitting outside. We also were waking distance to so many things!
