This is such a quaint bungalow in a very cool Santa Cruz neighborhood. We loved that you could walk to restaurants, the beach, and Ocean View Park (one of the best parks in Santa Cruz for little kids). The walk to the beach and park are not super short are lovely, but are long enough that you have to put little guys in a stroller or backpack. We are a local family that sheltered at Colleen's during the CZU Complex Fire evacuation. I would highly reccomend her place to families that are interested in a fun and authentic Santa Cruz experience that goes beyond the obvious tourist attractions. Colleen was also super responsive to any messages and generally lovely.
