Kathryn's place is awesome--a gem located at the perfect spot in Santa Cruz! Located on a quiet street and about a half-block to the beach, the place is very private and had everything we needed for our week-long stay. The hardwood floors throughout are beautiful, and we especially enjoyed the abundance of light in the bedroom and living room (although there are shades on every window, so if you want to block out the light--no worries). The bed is very comfortable, as well as the couches in the living room. Plenty of closet space in the bedroom, as well as cooking utensils/pots/pans/glasses, etc. in the kitchen. The front deck is spacious, and having the bbq was a plus for us; it was very relaxing to sit there in the mornings and early evenings, and the gorgeous bougainvillea vine screens you from the street, so there is plenty of privacy. The location is ideal for walks on the beach and around the harbor to the lighthouse, and you can even walk along Seabright Beach after the lighthouse stroll. Also, Kathryn communicated before, during, and after our trip, so she was available if we needed anything. As an added tip: if you make reservations at the Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola, Kathryn's place in within the 3-mile radius for the free shuttle ride in a classic taxi to and from the restaurant. If you are looking for some R&R and want to stay in the ideal location in Santa Cruz, I highly recommend Kathryn's place!
