The home is very centrally located in Santa Cruz with the beach in walking distance and the boardwalk only a short drive away. The home is very clean and quite spacious with a back patio that was enjoyable to relax on during the evening hours. Mary Jo did a wonderful job at responding quickly and even allowed for my family to check in a few hours early. She messaged me on our first and final days of the stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. She is a great host and has a lovely home. I would love to stay here again when I come to visit Santa Cruz in the future.
