This is my 2nd time staying in villa 5 at Beach Cliff. My first trip was a girl's trip with a girlfriend and our dogs. The 2nd trip was with my boyfriend and our 4 year old - both very much suitable for the trip. My dog always loves it here because he's usually the only dog and everyone just loves him that is staying and treat him like he's the community dog! I was upset over the weather because I couldn't enjoy the gorgeous sunset and the hammock! But that's just gives us more to look forward to next time. Carrie has always accommodated an early check in which I needed. I rented a car and always had parking in our driveway. There's a Marshall's and Von's nearby for last minute things or groceries. Which we went to during our stay! There's also a laundry mat close by - if you really want to enjoy the cliffs, drive down to Santa Cruz and Bacon so enjoy the TRUE cliffside! Tip: shower at night when others aren't showering, we had cold water in the morning but ended up showering at night to get the hot shower!
