Carl’s space has the most welcoming vibe. From the moment you open the gate and see the cushioned couches under the gazebo and the colorful flowerbeds you know he’s created a comfortable and happy place to enjoy your Santa Cruz getaway. Step up the deck and into the extra large old-time kitchen and you know it’s going to be a “home away from home “ experience. The living room, bedrooms, and bathroom similarly are open, inviting, and welcoming. There’s an ocean view from several of the rooms, and a lovely walk two blocks to the beach. We had such an awesome long weekend at this ABNB gem. It’s our first choice next time we come to the coast.
