This is a great bungalow SO close to the beach. It's in a very quiet neighborhood which we really appreciated since the last place we stayed had so much traffic it was noisy as heck. William's house is really cute and tastefully furnished and we had everything we needed for the kitchen and bathrooms and parking and fans (since it was a bit warm several days) and a lovely gift basket awaited our arrival. William is great in communicating since we called him once and he got back to us immediately. The porch is great for sitting and watching the world go by and we had a bonfire on the beach which is only 2 really short blocks away. At the house you can hear the sea lions yelping from the Santa Cruz Wharf!! That was cool. And it is VERY close to the boardwalk if you want to go there (walk for 20 minutes or bike for 12); but the house is far enough away that you don't have the traffic nor congestion to deal with - with regard to the Boardwalk. We really enjoyed staying there.
