Courtney couldn't have been lovelier. She greeted us on our arrival, showed us around, made herself available for questions, and then gave us our full privacy. The place was clean and lovely. We especially loved going to sleep to the sound of the peepers (frogs) and waking up to the lovely (and not loud) wind chimes just outside our window. The kitchen is really nicely equipped for real cooking and there's an outdoor grill available, too.

The house is in a kind of funky surfers' neighborhood, about 15 minutes from downtown Santa Cruz and just blocks from a beautiful little beach and every amenity you could think of. We had a great, great time and will definitely be back when we come to Santa Cruz again.
