We loved our stay at the Surf Colony Modern Surf Shack. The unit is spacious and well-designed with a lot of attention to design details to make it a comfortable place to stay. Kitchen is very well-equipped. Patio is lovely - we were not able to enjoy it much as it was quite cold and somewhat rainy when we stayed, but we plan to come back and enjoy it when it is warmer. Shower is great. Beds are comfortable. We didn't use the loft, and the steep steps would make it difficult for the very young or very old to use. But, the 2 bedrooms on the main floor would accommodate a family of 4 or two couples very well. Good location - short walk to the Santa Cruz pier, and close to the trail along the shoreline. We highly recommend Brit's accommodation.
