We had an amazing stay. The beds were comfortable, I slept like a rock on the couch. The fireplace is a beautiful touch. The small notes throughout the house were extremely helpful. The outside deck was great for breakfast or just relaxing listening to nature. Ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The location is central to many stores and a short drive into Santa Cruz.
The beach was perfect walking distance. I suggest bringing a wagon so you don't have to drive to the beach.
The food recommendations were on point and the neighbors were friendly too. The owners responded quickly and courteously to my many questions.
