Our family, ranging in age from 9 to 75, stayed at Josh‘s lovely home for three nights in December to celebrate my 75th birthday. The house was comfortable, well-equipped and nicely furnished. The home’s unique, well-designed layout provided both plenty of space to be together when that’s what we wanted and room to spread out for separate conversations or activities at other times. (For example, some watched a movie in the living room while others played a board game in the family room.) There is also good separation between the bedrooms, with one on the main level, one on the slightly lower level and the others on the upper level. There is a bathroom on each level, too. Cooking was a pleasure in the well-appointed kitchen.The location--within walking distance to Twin Lakes Beach and several places to eat--was quiet. It was easy to drive to other restaurants and attractions, such as those at the harbor, downtown and in Capitola, in just a few minutes. We appreciated the very accommodating host and local property manager.Because we stayed during a somewhat rainy time, we didn’t get to use the large back yard much, but could see it would be a lovely place to spend time in the warmer months. We greatly enjoyed the gas fireplace in the living room, though!Everything was as described and pictured, with the added bonus of being tastefully decorated for the holidays during our stay. I definitely recommend this house to others and look forward to staying there again.
