Kris and Shane’s place is an unbeatable location. My fiancé and I spent most of our time on the local beaches; Moran beach (more private) is steps away, and Santa Maria beach (larger) is less than a half mile of easy walking, both are beautiful. You could also walk 1-2 miles to a number of cafes and restaurants and drive 5-10 minutes to everything in downtown Santa Cruz.
We grabbed bagels for breakfast at the Bagelry, had a scenic dinner at Shadowbrook, and lunch at Pizza my Heart in Capitola. We grabbed light groceries down the street at Whole Foods.
The space itself is a quaint apartment with all the amenities. What it lacks in space it makes up for in comfort. There is a neighbor next door and the owners above, but we barely heard anyone while we were there. The bed was comfortable, the TV had an easy Roku connection, and the kitchen had everything you needed if you decided to stay in. We will definitely book again when we stay in the area.
We may have missed it in the details, but in case you’re wondering, they had an iron, ironing board, and hair dryer available!
