Carl's place is the perfect place for a family or two to check out Santa Cruz. There's a beach at the end of the street, ocean views from living room and side deck. Between the main house (2br 1 ba) and studio (1br 1 ba) there's an awesome outdoor deck space great for grilling or hanging out. A 1.5 mile walk down the gorgeous Cliff Drive takes you to the boardwalk, a shorter walk takes you to Bridges State Park. The place is clean, well set up with games and movies and bikes and so forth. Carl is very easy to work with, no hiccups at all. Strongly recommend.
