We stayed for several days over the Xmas break at Omar's place. It's a huge house and even bigger backyard. Lots of toys for kids and adults to enjoy in the house. Kids love the zipline between the trees (yes in the backyard), swings, firepit, garden, etc... Great location. You're literally walking across the street to the state park where you can hike or bike. 5-10 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz or the beach. Omar and Sabrina were great. They were also very accommodating to our requests. Would stay there again.
