The house was too small for a 5-member family (2 adults, 2 teenagers, 1 child with 5 big bags), specially the kitchen and the living room. Nevertheless, it was neat and we had all we needed to spend nice holidays. Besides, it was very quiet and we slept very well! And we were near any places, like Capitola mall, so it was perfect. What we mainly loved, is the neighborhood: we are used to the sea and to surf spots, we live on an island, but it was the first time we were so closed to town and the beach at the same time! Spectacular! Our eldest son particularly enjoyed the bikes at our disposal to ride along and check the waves. We wish we coud use the surfboards, but the water was really too cold for us. Furthermore, the few people we met were nice to us. First time in Santa Cruz and not the last!
