If i could give this place way more than 5 stars, i would! Amazing ocean view from the front patio and you can see the sunsetting over the ocean right from the living room couch, beautiful outdoor patio & comfy outdoor couch, house is stocked with everything you could ever dream of for cooking, entertainment, water/beach fun and comfy sleeping arrangements. I loved that he uses eco-friendly soaps in the house and the bikes provided were absolutely perfect for getting around Santa Cruz without needing a car. Carl takes so much pride in his homes and takes exquisite care of them - far above and beyond any other rental property I've experienced. He is kind, caring and extremely attentive and hospitable. Mahalo again, Carl, we will DEFINITELY be back!
