We had a great stay here. There’s plenty of bedroom and bathroom space. The living room and kitchen are on the smaller side but handled our group of 8 fine. We appreciated the yard and patio for relaxation and dinners outside. We also liked the shared extras like beach equipment, board games and puzzles.
It’s in a quiet residential neighborhood, requiring a long walk / short drive to beaches and restaurants. Santa Cruz is pretty compact so even sites further away like natural bridges and UC campus are easy 20 minute drives.
