John has a lovely home that is well decorated in a beach theme. We loved being so close to the beach and to delicious restaurants (highly recommend the chicken artichoke panini at Flats Bistro!). We enjoyed walking to the beach from the apartment (just a short walk downhill) and also sitting on the balcony listening to the waves. More popular beaches, like in Santa Cruz, get much busier and it is hard to find parking, so it was nice to have easy access on foot to a less crowded beach. We made breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen. The king bed, HBO, and Roku TV made our stay extra comfortable. We were able to get food delivered easily from Door Dash, which was nice because we didn't have to worry about losing our parking spot on the street (there is no reserved spot for the AirBnb guests and it can get busy during the day). There were plenty of towels, but I suggest bringing your own beach towels. It is a short drive on the freeway to get to Capitola and Santa Cruz. This apartment is in a wonderful location! I highly recommend staying here.
