Dore reached out before arrival to make sure we had accurate directions and access to the house. The neighborhood was great -- perfect location only a block from the beach. The house itself, like many of the beach bungalows in the neighborhood is very small. We surmised this before arrival based on our regular visits to Santa Cruz. However, we were fine with it given the price point and location. And, since we were only staying for a week, we figured we could all handle it -- me, my husband, baby daughter, and mother in law. There is a washer and dryer, bikes and boards, etc. for use. Like other reviewers have said, the house is a bit unkempt -- dirty carpets, lots of dust, knick knacks galore, etc. Again, given the price, we didn't expect the Ritz. However, I don't think we will stay here again. I'd rather pay a little more for a bigger/nicer space, even if it's a little farther from the beach.
