A peaceful place to stay with a thoughtful hostess

Julie was so kind and paid attention to every single detail. She checked in with us to suggest places we would enjoy going to and see that we had everything we needed. It was such a relaxing and luxurious stay. The studio is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. I appreciated that there was a nice guestbook in the room with detailed instructions on check-in/check-out, amenities, and info about local spots to check out and how far they are from the studio.This place is a total gem and we would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Room in Quiet Neighborhood

I was very happy to have found this property. 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. :)

Week Long Stay

Julie’s place was just what we needed for a short term place in Aptos! Full kitchen with all the utensils and cookware. She made sure we had condiments, milk, coffee and fresh parsley prior to our arrival which was very helpful! We couldn’t recommend Julie’s space enough! The daily greetings from the puppo were a plus! :)

Super stay, lovely host in Aptos

Julie was a wonderful host for this charming place that’s much more than a room with a separate kitchen nook. Minutes away from the beach, coffee, restaurants and more. Quiets as well!
