GREAT family gathering beach home! As a family that has spent many occasions in Santa Cruz, Gabriela's home is one of the best places we have stayed. There are plenty of rooms for everyone to spread out and a variety of outdoor spaces as well. The ocean views from the the living and dining rooms are spectacular as well as from two of the bedrooms on the second floor. All of the bedrooms are spacious with comfortable mattresses and cozy bedding. As a family that loves to cook, the kitchen set-up was well equipped and spacious. There was room to prep/cook and still plenty of space for others to congregate.
You don't even have to leave the house or hot-tub to enjoy the beach because the views are so beautiful but when you do, the path is right there, just open the gate. You can walk to the yacht harbor on the beach or along the cliffs, the Boardwalk, pier, lighthouse or even into town. The house is equipped with bikes/locks and a couple of boggie boards as well as beach chairs. Parking was never a problem, always space right in front of the house. The location is really perfect for everything! Enjoy your stay....we'll definitely be back!
