Annie's place is one-of-a-kind, to the extent that I almost want to write a poor review so I can keep this treasure to myself. 180 degrees of the Santa Cruz coast line from the best, across the street from world class surf, in a cool, laid back neighborhood - what's not to like. With an incredible breakfast sandwhich / burrito cafe a half block away, serious coffee up the street, plenty of dinner options a half mile away, the area really has everything. My favorite part of the whole experience is the outdoor shower in the back of Annie's house, especially after a long surf. The upstairs unit has been recently redone by Annie and it's awesome. Very comfortable and clean w/ lovely shower, bathroom, fridge and large deck with chairs and lounges. Highly recommended. Almost forgot the mention: Annie is such a gracious host and kind person. Anyone would be lucky to stay with her.
