Private Room with Attached Sun Room and Covered Deck

In addition to this being the most beautiful place in the area (I'm serious!), the owners offered to go to a local restaurant that I left my purse at and ship it to me! We will definitely come back. It's seriously gorgeous!

Gorgeous property and incredibly helpful property manager.

This is a lovely property with vineyard and ocean views. The owners are friendly but not intrusive. If you're looking for a place that is away from tourist crowds but just minutes from local attractions, this is it.

This is a very special place. Tucked away in the hills of Aptos, it's quiet, scenic and relaxing. The room was very cozy and while there's only a refrigerator and microwave, the property is so nice, after eating out one night, we just brought takeout dinners home and sat out on the deck (check out Gayle's bakery and the salad/hot bar at New Leaf). The highlight was the pool and jacuzzi, can't say I've ever seen a nicer indoor pool at a private residence.

We have returned to this property year after year because of the quiet and beautiful location. The bright sunshine and cool ocean breezes without the beach traffic is just what we love. Aptos village has a couple of terrific wine tasting rooms, eclectic shopping and restaurants for all types of cravings. The only “downside” to this visit is that I am now hooked on Nespresso and may need to buy a new coffee machine . Looking forward to next year already!

Beautiful location and quiet. Redwoods,vineyards and views of Monterey bay.

We enjoyed our two nights with Judy and Pete in their gorgeous home. We were able to just relax and talk about some important issues in a beautiful peaceful atmosphere.

A cozy and charming room in a beautiful home with friendly and accommodating hosts. The property was exactly as described and pictured on the website. My only disappointment was that access to the property was via a one-lane mountain road which, as a single senior female, was somewhat intimidating and I had a sense of isolation. It would have been helpful to know about that.

Lovely property with gorgeous view of the ocean. Quiet neighborhood tucked up into the hills. It was perfectly located so we could go to Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Aptos beach easily. Eager outdoor kitty who wants to hangout which was fun for my daughter. Complimentary bottle of their estate wine which was excellent.

This property is such a hidden gem. Gorgeous view of the ocean, vineyard and treetops. The landscaping is welcoming and I laid on the grass staring up at the sky for a while just enjoying the weather and peace. We used the pool and hot tub both days. They are wonderful. The owners were on site, helpful and kind. They left a complimentary bottle of wine which we enjoyed. We loved the cat that came over to us when we ate on the porch. Pro-tip: Soul Salad is a great spot to eat, we loved it.

Although we didn’t meet Judy, she was a joy to communicate with via email. Her husband Peter was delight to chat with. A lively bedroom , bathroom , kitchenette space with all the amenities you need - and even a bottle of wine to welcome us. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to relax and enjoy the property and the pool as we were out and about at our daughters wedding all weekend. We would love to come back again for a relaxing visit to enjoy the area. THANK YOU!

My friend and I had a most enjoyable stay. The property is beautiful - pretty landscaping, a thriving small vineyard and an enclosed swimming pool, sauna and spa which helped us feel quite pampered. The view over the ocean in the distance enticed us to have more than one picnic on our verandah. The property is situated close to Capitola and downtown Santa Cruz, yet has a tranquil feel all its own. Judy is the perfect host (available and welcoming yet respectful of our privacy) and the complimentary wine was so good we bought a second bottle (and should have brought home more). Looking forward to a return visit!

Tranquil and restful place to go, owners are very kind and very hospitable, would definitely come here again.
