If you find yourself looking for a place to stay while in Santa Cruz you MUST stay here. Sarah and her family provide a warm and welcoming experience. We stayed over Thanksgiving and not only was the house spotless but the location was perfect! The beach was just a quick walk with lots of things for the kids to do. Sarah and her family provided books and activities for the kids and made sure we had everything we needed. I cannot recommend the carriage house enough! Highly recommended!
