You can expect a five star experience all around. We came to Santa Cruz to teach our 8 yr old and 11 yr old to surf as well as ourselves. Carl set us up for complete success. We had surf boards, boogie boards, beach towels, beach chairs, long boards and the list goes on and on. We started our morning with a early morning walk out the front door to the coast line in 2 minutes. Then off to Cowells beach to surf the low tide. The kitchen amenities were phenomenal. I cooked all our meals and had everything I needed right there. Our kids loved the Nintendo switch and we loved being able to play all our favorite music from Alexa. There is no doubt we will be back to surf Cowells beach and hope to rent Carl's house again.
