My family and I had a great experience staying in Cathy and Andre's home. The home was clean and quiet, with an impressive display of indoor/outdoor plants, and an assortment of local bird species that seemed to be enjoying the outdoor feeder and yard. We'd definitely book again during a future trip to Santa Cruz!

We had an amazing stay at Cathy and Andre’s beach house. The space was clean and well appointed, the yard gorgeous and enjoyably peaceful (the owners have a green thumb—evidenced by the amazing orchids inside. I’ve never seen such a beautiful orchid as the one on the dining table!) The hot tub is always a MUST when we do our writing retreats and this was nicely situated. We enjoyed the proximity to beach and town. Dinner at Shadowbrook one night was also a treat. We struggled a bit with the WiFi connection with three writers accessing computers, but once we moved the extender to the window we had better luck! Loved the house history photo album showing the story of the family and how they made it their home. Would definitely stay again.
