This is an amazing home - well worth the price! Although there is no beach access, just being able to walk along the water and splash in the tide pools was enough for us. The beds were extremely comfortable and there was more than enough bedding and pillows to go around. The kitchen was well-stocked with high-end appliances, dishes and almost everything else needed. There were enough televisions to keep everyone entertained (which was good since it rained heavily for a couple of days) and once we figured out the correct remote(s), there were plenty of mainstream TV and streaming options available! Due to the rain, we did not get to experience any of the outside of the property, but it looked very nice! I have to say that the thing we all enjoyed most (adults and kids alike), was the view. The only slightly negative thing I have to say is that I was taken a bit back when I discovered that I was responsible for getting the trash bins to the street and that I had to go on quite a hunt to find the bins (it turned out that someone had already placed the bins on the street). The communication is top notch. If we decide to return yo Santa Cruz again, we will definitely look to see if this place is available.
