We loved our stay in Justin’s place! It was a block away from the beach, where we went daily, and we ate at the restaurants that are right next door several times. It is a short drive from downtown, but we honestly didn’t go as we had everything we wanted right nearby. We even visited the new Live Oak library with our son which is just a few blocks away in a gorgeous location. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with enough cooking items to meet our needs (we mostly did breakfasts in the house, and went out and about for other meals). This is a truly lovely spot if you are looking for a beach stay in Santa Cruz.
