We enjoy vacationing in a few Santa Cruz areas, and Life's a Beach in Capitola is fantastic. Clean, organized and comfortable. Wifi is fast, and the covered parking keeps the car cool. The info packet provided had all the info we needed and more, listing all the local highlights. We hung out at the beach, licked ice cream at Polar Bear, and drank cappuccinos from Verve. We didn't have time to get to the pool & hot tub, but will definitely try next time!
