Joao’s house is beautiful and the location is perfect. Just a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and a nice stroll to Santa Cruz’s city center. A huge perk is that the pool can be covered, which really helped when it rained one day. I really enjoyed the town and the beaches. We took surf lessons and got to watch a boogie boarding contest. I highly recommend staying at this house if you need a getaway with a group of friends or family. Communication was clear and easy. Thanks Joao!
