This house is great for a young family. So many toys and books for young kids. Also have a lot of supplies (bowls, plates, utensils, water bottles, etc) for little ones as well. Our 3 year old had a ball and we now have lots of ideas for Christmas and birthday gifts.
The location is awesome. 5 minute walk from West cliff drive and 7 minute walk from Mitchell’s Cove beach which was beautiful and much more low key than the boardwalk beach. Farther down the road is lighthouse beach as well. A number of restaurants and breweries/winery rooms are within walking distance. Less than 10 minute drive to the Boardwalk.
The front door has a Yale lock which is nice to not have to worry about physical keys and there is a Nest video doorbell that makes for very quick communication with the owners. The owners are also very responsive through Airbnb communication. The suggestions provided by the owners for food and things to do were spot on, great suggestions.
The house was well stocked and very comfortable. It was nice to come back from the beach and open the doors and windows and let the cool air breeze through the house.
We wish we had more time to spend in Santa Cruz but when we return, we will definitely try to stay here again.
