Chibo’s place is the perfect retreat if you’re looking to get away and be close to the beach! The location is great and it was so nice to be able to walk to the beach and variety of restaurant too (highly recommend stopping at Pixie Deli for some great breakfast burritos, sandwiches and beer). The proximity to downtown Santa Cruz and the boardwalk is also a big plus.
Chibo is an amazing host. Checking in and out was simple and hassle-free. She generously left us a bottle of sake because she knew were celebrating an anniversary. We truly enjoyed all the decorative touches in her space that showed her love of art, flowers, and Japanese culture. We also appreciated the attention to comfort (like extra fuzzy blankets in the living room and bedroom and plenty of beach towels) that made the stay even more cozy. I highly recommend a stay at Chibo’s place!
