This place is amazing! We spent a week there and really enjoyed the stay. It was the perfect size for our family of four plus my mom. My two daughters (4 and 8) stayed in the bedroom with the two beds, my wife and I stayed in the large bedroom, and my mom stayed in the smaller bedroom, which is conveniently separated from the other rooms by the utility room. We cooked most of our meals in the well-outfitted kitchen, spent most of our afternoons at the beach (2 block walk), and did some great hikes in the mornings. We had a few simple questions, and Krista responded right away. My 8-year old daughter learned to boogie board on the boards in the garage, the large wagon was super useful to walk the gear down to the beach, the outdoor shower was great for washing off the sand, and the back-yard was perfect for hanging out (and cooking out) after getting back. We'll look for this place again the next trip we make to Santa Cruz!
