We loved staying here and will certainly come back next time we want to take a family vacation around Santa Cruz. The house is beautiful, well stocked, and well organized. It is also very family friendly. There are stairs but Julia has already provided baby gates that close off the stairs so they are not a concern. The back yard is big with a lot of grass space and there is a large upper deck for gathering; perfect for kids to run around in. The beach is very close by and a nice one. Julia is very responsive with communication and helpful; when we needed an extension cable she brought one over. It's clear that she wants everyone to have a good time!
