El Nido; a Peaceful, Relaxing, Restorative Retreat

As an artist, I'm deeply interested in aesthetics. I think I've succeeded in creating a beautiful, restful venue for relaxation. The queen size bed overlooks a bird sanctuary over the Valencia Creek watershed. The kitchen includes a fridge stocked with goodies, toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot, French press and cooktop for light cooking. You're welcome to use the oven/stove in the main kitchen with prior arrangements. A backyard gas barbecue is available for heavier cooking (or if you're planning to cook fish!) Hairdryer and shampoo are available in the spacious private bath. Thick terry robes are provided for your comfort, and beach towels and chairs if you decide to spend some time on one of our beautiful beaches. There's a large flat screen smart TV complete with Netflix. Lots of reading material and a writing desk are also here for your use. You have a private entrance with a coded entry. You have a private entrance with a coded entry. Your rooms are private and you have your own porch and you're welcome to use the yards/patios. I share the front house with my partner and our two dogs. We'd love to meet you and perhaps share a cup of coffee or a glass of wine (depending on the time of day!) but will also respect your need/desire for privacy if you prefer. I'm happy to provide any information or amenities that will make your visit more comfortable and enjoyable. This home is close to the beautiful beaches of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary and the Forest of Nisene Marks, just a mile from Aptos village, south of Santa Cruz and the Boardwalk and north of Elk Horn Slough and The Monterey Bay Aquarium. Parking is easily available on our quiet cut-de-sac. The flagstone path to the left of the property will lead you to a gate and your private porch/entrance. Provide a 4 digit code before you arrive and I'll program the entry for your convenience. No keys to hassle with. Public transit is available one mile from the house. Uber is a popular alternative in our area. We're just minutes away from a thriving downtown scene complete with music venues and restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and the SC Beach Boardwalk. Whale watching, kayaking, cycling and hiking trails are also just minutes away. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, or those looking for a quiet retreat.

Peaceful Treehouse with Ocean View

Featured by Sunset Magazine as a “chic escape.” Inside, mid-century furniture and architectural details are made of natural materials like wood and stone setting a calming, sanctuary tone throughout. Curl up with a good read by the light streaming through floor to ceiling windows and under soaring wooden beams or tuck in for the evening by closing the sliding doors inspired by Japanese screens. Please note that during the winter months, our 1960s artistically unique treehouse may get chilly. H

Beautiful 1-bedroom, private entry and bathroom

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is our 2nd time staying at Emilie's place, and each time has been great! We have family that lives in Soquel, so we have to stay in the area often. Emilie's place is only about 10-15 minutes from Soquel and is always a much better price than a hotel! You can tell Emilie puts a lot of time and effort into ensuring her guests are comfortable and cared for. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Kris was very helpful, responsive, and accommodating for me and my young daughter. The place was very clean and had everything we needed for the two nights. She has very friendly dogs, which my daughter loved. Her backyard is absolutely beautiful and it felt very peaceful. You could smell the flowers while you were in the room, which I loved.

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for Alexis hospitality during our recent stay. She was extremely responsive to our questions and made sure we felt right at home. The home's cleanliness and organization contributed to a comfortable atmosphere, especially with two toddlers. We particularly appreciated the availability of Netflix, which was a great asset for keeping the toddlers entertained. The ample space in the home also provided a convenient and relaxing environment for our family. Basic necessities were provided and more! Thank you again for providing a welcoming and family-friendly space. We look forward to the opportunity to stay again in the future.
