We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cute and comfy apartment. It is tastefully decorated and includes everything you need for a short stay. The location was even closer to the beach than we thought--about half a block--and when we first arrived, our stroll along the beach was wonderful. There were hundreds of surfers out that night, and everyone was so friendly. A short stroll to local eateries and shops (many recommended by the owners). We highly recommend this spot for a couple wanting a fun getaway. We wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights to see all that Santa Cruz has to offer.
