The hideaway was amazing! Great walking distance to the beach. We went with my husband, three kids, and two dogs. Plenty of space for us! Just outside the hideaway, there is semi-private road which was perfect for the kids to ride bikes and play outside without worrying about a busy street! The owner stopped by to update the cable box and was very friendly and quick to let us have our space back. So much to do while in Santa Cruz. The owner’s guide for places to visit and things to do was a great thing to have and plan accordingly. Highly recommend coming here and we’ll be back in the future! -Jessica
