Carl is an amazing host and ensured our stay was one to remember. The house is perfect in that there is a lot of windows so even on a rainy day there is still lots of light. The house was stocked with all the amenities we could want and more. You can see the ocean from the living room and it is centrally located so you could walk to the Boardwalk if you wanted to. It is minutes from Downtown so a quick 5 minute car ride and you are there or borrow one of the bike's Carl leaves for you to use. This is the place to stay if you have a son or daughter thinking about UC Santa Cruz for college or if you are visiting Santa Cruz and simply want to be close to everything.
