The Sumner Cottage was so perfect for my partner and I. We have been doing a lot of traveling and this place felt like a real home. It is such a great location, so close to everything else in the Santa Cruz area. The neighborhood is lovely to walk around in, and we enjoyed running to the beach. It is a lovely 30 minute walk to the downtown area, or a short drive under 10 minutes. There were plenty of towels and beach chairs. We also loved the outside sitting area! It was so private and quiet and a perfect place to enjoy the sunshine. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone.
