Beautiful apartment in a quiet residential area of Santa Cruz.
This place is HUGE and beautifully decorated and furnished. It has everything you could need - and much more. The ground floor apartment opens onto a lovely patio and garden and is constantly flooded with light. Inside there are 2 1/2 bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Sit on the patio with a glass of wine watching the sunset, then move onto the sofa to watch it get dark. Bliss.
The kitchen is very well kitted out, though doesn't have any 'stock' ingredients, so if you plan to cook, bring a few bits with you. Not that you need to cook, the apartment is just a short walk to an amazing bakery (Buttery) and several excellent restaurants (check out Akira for incredible sushi). And do check out the farmers market off Cedar Street.
Downtown is an easy 20-25 minute walk, the boardwalk and beach 30-35 mins.
Brilliant all round. Tara was a great host answering our queries immediately. Would definitely stay here again.
