Went down the Bridge Creek Trail, and then to Maple Falls. About an 8-mile total hike. Redwoods everywhere you look, and a deep dark forest that gave lots of 'mood'. We came across a tiny snake! It was just a few inches long, red back, sunning itself on a rock in the middle of the creek. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6435/5c3bd64a-940e-46c7-b19f-5b74567efef1.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park 1 min walk \- 0.1 miles - ![Take a tour](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6435/0db17059-d20f-4601-add9-f9a0b2af8783.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Seacliff State Beach 3 min drive \- 1.4 miles - ![500px Photo ID: 99992469 - Doing a series of shooting Sunset on California Coast.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Julie is a wonderful host and very quick to awnser and communicate. It is located in a great central area with so much to offer. The studie space is very clean with everything you my need supplied to you. It can be a little difficult to finish but again Juile is great at helping you find the space with a super quick response. If you are looking for a nice comfortable studio for your vacation look no further this is the space for you. ##### Alisa P.

It was convenient to Capitola where I had a project to complete and also to outdoor activities I wanted to do in the Santa Cruz-Captiola-Soquel-Aptos area: hiking in Nisene Marks State Park and other parks, and walks along the Santa Cruz & Soquel cove beaches. Comfortable accommodations, responsive host, well-equipped kitchen, thoughtful amenities, excellent communication, and a relaxing atmosphere. :) ##### Mark L.
