We stayed at Sun's home during our recent CA road trip. The home is beautiful and there was plenty of space for the 12 of us. We were hoping to walk to the beach, but you definitely need to drive. And the boardwalk area can be 20+ mins during busy times. This home is located on a small cul de sac and the neighborhood includes some homes that are not as nice as this one. As a host, Sun is friendly and provided good communication and tips on where to go in Santa Cruz.
