A wonderful home! Our family stayed in Tim's place for the Thanksgiving holiday and couldn't have been happier. The whole house is very clean and up to date, with a remodeled kitchen and bath. The two bedrooms are large and have comfortable beds with plenty of warm bedding. Our son used the pull out couch and slept well there. We really appreciated the well-supplied kitchen, which made cooking our big holiday meal very easy. The wifi connection is strong. Tim allows dogs, so our lab joined us on this trip. We had two surfers in our group, and they were able to store their boards and wetsuits on the back porch. We visited the pier, boardwalk and mission, played disc golf and had a fantastic hike in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Tim checked in several times, but there were never any problems to report. This home is highly recommended if you find yourself visiting Santa Cruz.
