Location, location, location! It's a 5 minute walk across a little bridge to the boardwalk/beach. There are also 3 separate patio/outside seating areas and a grill which are perfect for eating and relaxing after a day at the beach! There are also restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, and downtown Santa Cruz is a very short drive (or a slightly long walk!). The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of extra sheets/blankets/pillows. There were beach towels, a cooler, a volleyball, and DVDs/games available too. As other reviews say, the room with two twin beds is in a separate building.
