Courtney's studio was fantastic. Steps from the beach (and the less crowded beach at that). There's nothing like waking up and taking a 2 minute walk to the beach. The place was clean and easily accessible. It was a very short uber ride to get to the main drag of Santa Cruz, and less than a 20 minute walk to the boardwalk. I highly recommend this spot. Clean, easy, close to the beach. What else could you need?
