GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARRIVE:
The next-door neighbor is doing construction. They generally work from 8 to 5 on weekdays and are building a house on the opposite side of the property so the noise is muffled on the side you will be staying in but still could exist.
We own two houses on the property. The other house has 2 units. There is an open space between the houses that is filled with gravel / small rocks to provide drainage and a dry space that has a temporary fence that is facing the street. You are welcome to run around in the open space.
The shower heads have been modified to provide strong pressure, perfect for getting out any sand that may be stuck in your hair. If you do not like strong pressure, you can take a bath in our deep soaking bath tub.
We currently do not have any fence around the yard patio area so when eating outside or sitting around the fire pit, you will be close to the sidewalk. It is a pretty quiet street and the neighbors who walk by are friendly. There are two Airbnbs across the street who are also close to the sidewalk so the neighborhood is used to visitors.
We change the hot tub water every two weeks.
While every room features its own fully adjustable heating and AC unit, please note that rooms sharing an outdoor condenser must be set to the same mode (all heating or all cooling) at any given time.
Please note you are responsible for keeping safe and ensuring full oversight of any children, esp near the hot tub, play room, wrap around deck and rooftop deck. Please do not climb on the railings. We have put in precautions like locking the hot tub, gates on each level, gates on the top and bottom of the spiral staircases going to the roof, a way to lock the playroom and side locks on the patio doors. It is your responsibility to use these safety features and watch your kids at all times.
Whether you’re here to surf the coast, work from the rooftop with an ocean view, or simply reconnect as a family, your perfect Santa Cruz escape awaits. We can’t wait to host you!
Upstairs you’ll find the living room, dining room, kitchen, wet bar and powder room.

Our driveway is steep but there is a turnaround at the top. Once at the top there is flat level parking leading into the house. No 4 wheel drive is required, but in the winter it may be necessary at times.
-We are on well water, as are most all cabins in the area. Is is possible our water may not always be completely clear but it is still perfectly safe to use. It also could potentially have a slight sulfur smell, but we have a sanitization device that ensures cleanliness. We also have filtered drinking water on the refrigerator for your convenience.
-We provide amenities like shampoo, soap, makeup towels, starter coffee pods/creamer, starter toilet paper/paper towels, trash bags. There is a s’mores kit at check in as well as wood for the fire pit. We also provide a nice variety of spices, sweeteners, etc. We try to keep the house stocked well! If staying more than a couple of days you should bring extra paper products etc.
-The Smoky mountians are native habitats for bears, mice, snakes, scorpions, and lots of bugs. We have a great pest control management contract in place but every once in awhile you will see bugs. Local law requires that food is NOT left outside at any time unless placed in our bear proof trash cans. DO NOT feed bears and lock all car doors, windows, and house doors. We are not responsible for any damage caused by wildlife encounters.
