Beautiful Home
Our family of three stayed for two nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Check in was quick and easy. The day we arrived the home was clean, fresh, and sunny. Santa Cruz has amazing beaches and we unloaded our gear and walked immediately to Twin Lakes beach. We would do this throughout our stay as the home is a three minute walk to the beach.
The home came with beach towels and a few beach chairs plus a sun shade to stick in the sand. We had a toddler on our visit and they walked to the beach every day with us. It's an easy walk to the beach. There are stairs to get to the beach FYI. The home is close enough to where if anyone got hungry we would just walk back to the house, eat and go head back to the beach.
The home is fully stocked with kitchen pans and utensils. There is no need to bring anything as there is salt and pepper in the home for basic seasoning. Plates and cups are provided and a working dishwasher to help clean up is very convenient. The home itself is cute and cozy. The home had lots of seating and lounge areas and the background got lots of sun. There's two TV's with cable and lots of board games for the family.
Parking was easy and enough for two vehicles. The neighborhood is quiet and chill. You can tell that the neighborhood is family friendly as all the neighbors said hi and bye to us. The home is located in a great spot that's equal distance to downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola. We explored Downtown Santa Cruz (about a 10 min drive in traffic) on one day. Restaurant and bars are all a short drive away.
I'd recommend getting coffee beans from Verve or Cat and Cloud (Capitola) and brew up some coffee at home. I wished we had another night here it was so wonderful. If you wanted to spend the entire time at this home, you could grab groceries and tune out and relax. We'll be back again for sure.
Plus! The home had a hot tub (we didn't use) but the outdoor shower was perfect for after beach rinsing. Please consider booking your next Santa Cruz stay here as our family had a wonderful time.
