If we could own the perfect beach cottage in Santa Cruz, The Sea Pearl, would be EXACTLY what we would have. It's in the literal perfect location, on a quiet street, with great restaurants within walking distance. It is super neat and clean while also being beautifully decorated and appointed. Beds so comfy, linens & towels top notch, just like everything else there. This is our second time staying here and we'll definitely be back. Oh, and let us know if you EVER want to sell it! Thank you Joanna!
