This was such a special place to stay... in fact it may have been my favorite airbnb ever! It was just a beautiful, cozy, warm, cottage-like home that felt clean and very comfortable. The bed may have been the coziest bed ever and I got incredible sleep. Fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the waves and even heard sea lions barking one night. The shower had great water pressure and the water got nice and hot. The house must have great insulation because it was nice and warm, even in winter. The beach down the street was lovely and we enjoyed evening walks and a rope swing for my son (and us!). I really appreciated how kind and responsive the owner was. My family and I planned to do a lot around Santa Cruz but ended up spending a lot of time at the house reading and playing games because it was so full of warmth and comfort! I found myself daydreaming that if life ever left me living on my own again, I would find a place just like this and live out a sweet little life! :)
