Looking for some place close to the coast within an hour of SJC and within striking distance of Santa Cruz and Monterey (but away from the tourists)? Try La Selva Beach! Who knew? What a pleasant surprise. House was perfect for what we were looking for and our needs: all of above + 2 families with pair of kids each (3, 5, 11, 14). Modern design, well furnished, modern appliances, hot tub, private beach access, great response time...thank you!
