We enjoyed our stay at 8 Palms, Santa Cruz. Ted is a great host. The house is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The best part is a fully stocked kitchen. Outdoor seating area is excellent for having a family meal. Sofa in the living room is cozy and comfortable. The house is a 5 minute drive from Boardwalk and Downtown both. We would definitely like to stay again when we visit Santa Cruz. Would definitely recommend.
