We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is tucked into a small footprint which is tucked into a very quiet neighborhood of other small cottages. There is no view of the sea to be seen, but a short and interesting walk will bring you to lovely beaches, parks and the city itself, with an old fashion amusement park and boardwalk which could be great fun if that is your pleasure. We had several guest drop-by for a drink and all commented about how well appointed our cottage felt. We could not take full advantage of all the spaces because of the exceedingly hot and unusual weather being experienced, but it made you thankful that a cooler sea breeze was a short walk away. The evenings cooled quickly and sleeping was not difficult even without air-conditioning. If the owners are in residence in a small separate enclosure in the back, you might feel a bit cramped. They had not planned on being around, but the heat forced them back home from a planned camping trip. All in all, it was a delightful place to stay in Santa Cruz and most people will envy your good fortune of having found Terry & Clint's place. T & C are a delightful couple and we were happy that we had the opportunity to visit with them as well.
