We rented this house for the location which is fantastic. Only a few blocks to a sandy dog beach and a short walk to the Santa Cruz board walk. We were 3 teenage boys and 3 adults. We gave the second floor master suite to the boys and we took the down stairs bedrooms. The master suite is beautiful. The down stairs bathroom is quite small. There are actual ocean views from the upstairs and several different spaces where we could get together as small or larger groups. During our stay there were not as many beach amenities (boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys) as we have had in previous rentals. Bring your own beach accessories. We enjoyed the cafe down the street with great fish tacos and house-made muffins. There was not much printed information in the house so do your own online research. We understand from locals we met that short term rentals are being restricted by the community so we felt lucky to have a large comfortable space in such a great location.
