This apartment was exactly as it states on the website and more; it is perfectly situated to explore from Santa Cruz down to Carmel and offers a quiet beach right in front that is perfect for morning walks. The apartment is really well stocked offering everything you need to enjoy your stay. What was most useful was the telescope and binoculars - we spent so much time watching humpback whales just off the coast in front of the balcony - and I have to say that this apartment is perfect for anyone looking to tick that off their bucket list (like us).
