We had a great time at Ben’s place. We visit Santa Cruz quite often and like to stay in a residential neighborhood, not necessarily a super touristy or ocean front location. Ben’s place fit what we were looking for perfectly. The house was super clean and comfortable, and my sons (ages 5 and 8) appreciated having the double beds in the kids’ room. The beds were comfortable, the sheets were nice, and the towels were cozy. The house is in a convenient location, close to lots of things yet quiet. We would stay here again without hesitation.
