This is a perfect sanctuary! I've enjoyed a relaxing, meditative stay.
The location is amazing: its only a stone's throw from a couple beaches, and also right by the heart of West Santa Cruz, with many shops and eateries less than a mile down the road. This area is also very earth-friendly, check out the organic restaurants, and a neighborhood New Leaf Market/Grocery for ample healthy eats.
The space is set up really well, both inside and out. A highlight for me is the south facing private deck on the side, with great all-day sun and picturesque ocean views. Having both the separate studio and the house creates a TON of space with the chance to spread out and grab some privacy too.
Carl does an incredible job with these AirBNB spots, they are neat and well kept with the perfect amenities. Aside from the basics, there is everything we ever could need to add to a fun time - bikes, skateboards, surfboards, wet suits, beach wagons/chairs, sports equipment, and even a cooler!
I highly recommend this spot. My wife and I enjoyed it so much we ended up extending our stay an extra 2 weeks :)
