Eric's place was a perfect spot for our stay. I stayed in Santa Cruz with my wife and our 2 kids (ages 2.5 & 1). We used the Pleasure Point Cottage as our central hub to visit areas North & South of the Capitola area. The outdoor shower is awesome, the fire pit sets the mood and we used the Radio Flyer wagon every day we were there. The soundbar is another amenity that isn't appreciated until you're there and able to listen to music while you're grilling out in the perfect California weather. We will be back to the Santa Cruz area and will definitely stay in the quieter, sleepier Capitola / Pleasure Point area. I highly recommend Eric's house as a 36 year old husband and father of 2!
