The house is perfect in every way. It’s spotlessly clean. It’s well-furnished, beautifully decorated (magazine worthy) and accommodates a family of 4 with ease. There are multiple places to lounge/chill out, upstairs, downstairs and outdoors. It’s a very short walk to a small sandy beach, a rocky surfers beach and beautiful walking or cycling along the ocean. My kids favorite beach was the one at Sunny Cove, a short distance up the road. They made good use of the boogie boards and skim board that came with the house. The house is in a charming, eclectic neighborhood with a cool vibe. The boardwalk and downtown Santa Cruz are about a 20 minute drive, if that matters to you. Capitola is closer, about a 5 minute drive. Capitola has a number of restaurants right on the beach. We enjoyed Zeldas on the Beach and Margaritaville (not part of the chain). I went to yoga classes at the nearby Pleasant Point Yoga. I wish I could live in that house full-time. We really hated to leave.
