We really enjoyed our stay here and felt very relaxed. The place may seem a little less modern, but it contributes to it feeling homey and inviting, with everything you need to have a good trip. The hot tub and backyard were very pleasant, and we loved the bed (it’s on the firm side but that is what we prefer). The location is walkable to local coffee, food and downtown even. If you want a nice local Santa Cruz vibe this place fits the bill.
