My three young kids and I had a amazing time. It was an easy walk to the shops and beach. They loved the big tub downstairs and the bedroom upstairs fit all 4 of us comfortably. I do recommend bringing a baby gate for the stairs if you have little ones. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We took an easy drive to Monterey Bay Aquarium, next day played at the beach and hung out in Capitola. The kids liked sitting on the deck at Mr. Toots… definitely recommend their coffee. After checking out, hit up Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for a bit. We will definitely be back!
