Our family had a great trip in the Santa Cruz area. The house was beautiful and the grounds were very relaxing. I loved staying in the mountains away from the crowds at the popular beaches. It was easy to get into Santa Cruz & Capitola but we also loved exploring Ano Nuevo and Davenport area beaches. Their is no TV but the house has lots of board games and we had a great time playing Monopoly at night and just sitting outside under the stars. The only thing I would have liked is laundry and beach towels. I would definitely come back if I was in the area. Thanks for the great vacation rental!
