Has a home feel to the cabin and very nice inside. The tv wasn't connected to the Internet but other than that it was a great stay.

I enjoyed my stay. Unit is small, cozy, and quiet. I like to cook, and there was not much as far as kitchen items. Kitchen is very small so I can see why that is not a focal point of the rental. Communication with host was quick and easy. I’d stay here again.

Beautifully Quaint and Beautifully Priced
I had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful property very close to Santa Cruz. From the very beginning there was great contact with the host who answered all my questions. The room was well stocked and reminded me much more of a home than a vrbo. The only issue I encountered was a neighbors outdoor light that stays on all night. This is obviously not the fault of the host and the room is provided with blinds that bock it out completely. All in all I was so thankful for the opportunity to stay and would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone.
