Great place to park for the night. Plenty of room to get situated. Desiree was a pleasure to communicate with. I would stay there again.

We love our home in Santa Cruz and would love to offer a little slice of it! We also love to help out our community. This seems like a great fit to tie those together. We are walking distance to downtown yet in a small neighborhood. We have water hook up, free wifi, and laundry mat 3 min walk away.

Go around the corner to look for the house. Even after booking a tad late, Desiree still could offer her parking spot. Much appreciated!

Good spot for a quick sleep, Flat driveway, friendly hosts and the road nearby wasn’t too loud / didn’t bother us! Great area for sure and near to everything. To find it, keep going to the end and around the corner to the left.

Go _all the way_ to the end of the street. It loops around to the left.

I had an amazing stay at Desiree’s driveway in Santa Cruz! The location is perfect—just minutes from downtown, the boardwalk, and so close to Whole Foods and other great restaurants. The setup was incredibly convenient, with free WiFi, water, and power hookups all easily accessible. I especially loved relaxing under the big oak tree in the front yard—it was such a peaceful spot. The area felt safe, and having a laundry mat within walking distance was a huge plus.

Nice area, suited my needs, I tried to be as invisible and quiet as possible not to disturb anyone because I arrived at night at a later hour. The host was responsive and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

This is a very nice neighborhood and felt very safe. However, there is a very loud, busy road that goes right by it. it was rough. It got quiet about 2 o’clock but bring your earplugs.

As advertised - pretty flat, plenty of room, hosts offered electric and water (we didn't need). It's a very safe and protected neighborhood.

Desiree and her mom were very kind and helpful in their communications. The spot was easy to access, well kept, and mostly flat. Some street noise, but not too bad. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

This listing was perfect for my trip, the hosts were so sweet and I felt very safe and secure the whole time. I definitely recommend this place and will be reserving it again next time I’m in town

Never met the host other than a few texts. It was just what I need a place to park after dinner and not get hassled. Left fairly early in the morning. Parked right in the driveway with enough room for a 177" Sprinter. The whole thing worked great. Thanks.
