We enjoyed being a close walk to the beach and a short drive to all the beauty of the Santa Cruz/Monterey area. The kitchen and BBQ were great and we had most everything we needed right there. The hottub was nice. The washer and dryer work well. It was nice to be able to bring our puppy ~ but even better to be comfortable with the grandchildren :) Nice and clean to be very comfortable - not so posh that I was afraid of having children there. Perfect for us!
