We were pleasantly surprised, we walked in and everything was warm and inviting, pictures do not do justice. The view is phenomenal and the position of the balcony gave a picturesque view of the ocean without the foot traffic of being right on the beach front. The lighting and electric fireplace made for cozy evenings. It was nice to be able to pull down the curtains and dim the lights in the evenings also to allow for privacy. The amenities were great and having a washer and dryer saved us from bringing wet sandy clothes home. The location was perfect, Rio Del Mar beach was just a short walk down the block and about 15 mins away from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and other attractions. Sundeep was a great host, we had all of the check in information sent to us a couple of days before check in. House and community rules were posted as well as numbers to call should we have any issues. The neighbors around us were pleasant and overall we had a wonderful vacation with lifetime memories.
