We chose this house for a family gathering. It was perfect! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own space, but also wonderful gathering spaces (a sunny back deck, large dining table, living room, etc.) where we gathered for meals and games. The proximity to a wonderful beach was amazing and we were able to enjoy a sunset on the bench at the end of the block. The kitchen was very well stocked for all of our meal prep and there were items needed for beach trips. We loved being able to barbecue a meal and have a fire in the backyard fire pit. We brought along our dogs and we appreciated them being welcomed and even had towels, bowls, and treats available! The place has some Santa Cruz “quirkiness” that made us smile and was very comfortable!!!
