The location could not be better, in the heart of so much of what Santa Cruz has to offer. As a dog lover it's always great to find a place that accepts our canine family members. This place has a lovely ocean life vibe but do remember It's only 1 bathroom which is a bit small. The beds, including pull out sofa in main living space were very comfortable. The stand out features for my elderly mother, son, & I were the beach gear they have available for guests to use, outdoor heated shower (for getting that initial sand off) and excellent suggestions for activities + a diverse selection of places to eat. We would definitely stay again!
