Ryan and Denise's harbor-side cottage is a gem. The place was thoughtfully decorated and supplied, with a well-stocked kitchen (in terms of utensils and cookware) and linen closet. The location is really central so you can get to the beach, downtown, and Capitola pretty easily. Ryan and Denise are also very responsive and communicative, even during the winter holidays. We highly recommend staying at 5th Heaven if you are in Santa Cruz!
