Everything about Kris and Shane's home was perfect, from communication to the location and the place itself! (Hearing the waves at 1 am/4 am (our time from the east coast) when we finally arrived was so rewarding and a true "we made" moment after an extremely long travel day.) Check-in was super simple and the place was charming, clean, and welcoming. Our 1st day was a Route 1/Big Sur day trip, but our 2nd and 3rd days spent in Santa Cruz were perfect. Could easily walk to all the beaches nearby, which was super convenient given we had rented a surfboard one day and could easily access all the best surf spots! The Point Market is right there and so delicious, and just spending time walking around the neighborhood/Pleasure Point was a treat in itself! I highly recommend this home, plus it was a short and easy drive to enjoy downtown Santa Cruz, the wharf, boardwalk, etc. (If you love beer, check out Humble Sea!) Couldn't have asked for more! Thank you!
