Enjoy a glass of wine on your Private Deck or soak in the Hot Tub on the Brick Courtyard Overlooking the Redwoods, then sidle up to a warm Fireplace to watch your favorite movies on a 50-inch Plasma TV before sliding into a luxurious Memory Foam Bed and cozy comforter to rest up for another fun day taking in the Santa Cruz sites and attractions.

Be our guest at Scott's Guest House where 1-4 people sleep comfortably in a Queen Platform Bed in the 12-foot x 15-foot bedroom and a Full-size Sleeper in the light & airy 14-foot x 16-foot living room.

Big Dogs OK, We Love Pets!: When we travel we bring our two dogs with us. We think you should, too. We even have dishes, toys, a bed, and a special place for your well-behaved pet. Scott's Guest House is definitely pet-friendly.

Easily Go Anywhere You Want to Go: Scott's Guest House provides easy access to all Santa Cruz County attractions. Visit the historic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk amusement park.

Go antiquing in Moss Landing. Taste local Santa Cruz wines. Shop, dine, or really let loose and party at the Pacific Garden Mall downtown or beachside in Capitola-by-the-Sea.

We were just as impressed arriving at the rental as we were when we reviewed it on line. It is just beautiful! It is peaceful and serene and you would never know that you were in town. The hummingbirds were beautiful and the sounds of nature so relaxing. We recommend massages on the deck by the hot tub. Mari is an excellent massage therapist.
We ate at Tony & Alba's when first arriving and then again a day before we returned home. It is in Scott's Valley and within a couple of miles. The pizza and sandwiches were excellent.
We visited many attractions and most are within a couple of hours. We recommend downtown Santa Cruz and Sausalito for shopping. Muir Woods had an excellent gift shop where we bought many Christmas gifts. Walking or biking the Golden Gate Bridge is a definite! Alcatraz was extremely interesting and worth the money. If you are into exercising, the Zumba classes in Santa Cruz were excellent: Toadal Fitness (John Perez-instructor) and Minorsan Self-Defense and Fitness (Amanda) We could go on and on!
We definitely would stay here again if we got a chance to return. Steve and Mari were very helpful, informative and friendly.

Paradise

The cottage is very cute and quiet, giving a feeling of being far away in the woods, although it gives easy access to the beach of Santa Cruz. The hosts are very friendly and nearby if you need them, still they make sure you have complete privacy and tranquility.
For people from Belgium, it is really exciting to have breakfast while a dozen hummingbirds are flying about. Briefly, paradise.

Het huisje is zeer gezellig en rustig, met een gevoel van verweg in de bossen te zijn, terwijl je vlakbij het strand van Santa Cruz bent. De gastheren zijn vriendelijk en toch vlakbij als je ze nodig hebt, maar ze zorgen er ook voor dat je complete privacy en rust hebt. En voor ons uit België is het opwindend te ontbijten terwijl er een dozijn kolibries rondom je vliegen. Kortom, een paradijsje.

La maison est charmante et de tout repos. Elle évoque le sentiment de se trouver en pleine forêt, bien que la plage de Santa Cruz reste très accessible. Les hôtes, Steve & Mari, très gentils et proches à souhait, sont néanmoins très discrets et garantissent une tranquilité privée complète. Pour une Belge, prendre le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse, entourée du vol des colibris, est une expérience exceptionnelle. En bref, le paradis.

From our greeting to our farewell we could not have been happier. Host was simply delightful, patio area was beautiful with amazing greenery and plenty of hummingbirds and the guest house was simply adorable! We couldn't of asked for a more comfortable place to stay that was so central to all the activities we wanted to do. We can't wait to come back again. Thanks!

Perfect Getaway!

My boyfriend and I stayed at at this wonderfully secluded Guest House last weekend and it was the perfect getaway for us. The place is very cute and comfortable and quiet. The grounds around the house make you feel like you are far away in the woods, when you are actually very close to all of the wonders of Santa Cruz, such as the boardwalk, the wharf, the restaurants, the mt. biking, everything! We loved the extra touch of the the bathrobes, as well as the use of the hot tub after our mt. bike ride and with coffee in the morning. The wonderfully quaint little kitchen was so nice to have as well. This is the perfect place for a nice private romantic getaway! We will definitely be back!
