This was a really lovely place to stay in Santa Cruz and my group of friends had a great time here. The location is amazing - only a few minutes from the beach and a short walk into town. The porch faces onto the street so you can sit and people watch if you want! The check-in process was straightforward and the free produce at the entrance to the cottages was a fun bonus :)
The kitchenette was a little limited but you can definitely still make breakfast or a light lunch with what they provide. Another good thing to know is that there are only three bunk beds, not 4 as the Airbnb listing says. Apart from that, the listing is pretty accurate and I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone!
